Ouch My Trauma Hurts (OMTH)

TRIGGER WARNING RE TOUCH AND TRAUMA

“Please do not grab my shoulder from behind,” Colonel Don told me. “I would be startled big-time cause of my trauma from the war.”

Touch can remind us of good or bad memories from the past. It’s yucky for bad memories to fly into our minds, sometimes seeming so real! It’s important to explain to loved ones how to be considerate. We may want to reach out for help.

Wishing you good touches and coping skills for peaceful lives.
