Health crises and unexpected medical outcomes can be traumatic and create a lasting impact on your mental health.
Medical trauma adds extra stress on top of an already challenging situation.
Medical trauma, whether from an emergency procedure or long health battle, can leave you on edge, hypervigilant, afraid, and overwhelmed. You may have intrusive memories of when you got a negative diagnosis, flashbacks to medical procedures, or anger and grief about the unexpected turn of events.
Medical trauma can create a ripple effect including heightened vigilance, anxiety during medical appointments, and fear of your body and certain sensations.You may be fearful about routine medical care, or concerned that something else may happen. This stress can remain long after your body has healed.
Even if you appear calm and capable on the outside, your body may still react as though danger is present. These responses are understandable. When something happens that shakes your sense of safety, your nervous system can stay stuck in emergency mode.
Many people find that their nervous system needs targeted support to feel safe again.
