Hi!
As a carer, I often find myself reading the thread titled "What Never to Say to a PTSD Sufferer." After reading so many comments that retraumatize and fill a sufferer with rage, I feel like nothing a carer does or says will be effective.
So, I'd like to ask this: What would you suggest we carers say? What have been your most comforting, effective, and positive comments? What can we say that will not hurt feelings or cause more problems?
After reading so many "what not to do's," I need someone to tell me what to do. I'd like to be a better carer. :smile:
Thank you!
