News Women Rebound From Trauma Best

Could be that female gender can deal better with this, but presumptuous view as well, because other conditions can interfere, as is the case with me: Autism is often crippling me in enough ways that hinders my progress through PTSD.

@Kroatien :hug:'s if you accept. Just glad you are here...the healing will come in due time.

Does one gender have a higher rate of traumatization than the other?

Yes, actually. Women are statistically a higher number for trauma, overall, than men. Men have higher numbers in certain niches, as do women, but women overall are subject to trauma more than men.

I think women have a glorious way of being able to take pain of any kind and flush it from their body...

If you meant menstrual cycles, then no, it's hell for me. It makes both psychological issues and physical ones less bearable.

The article fails to link to concrete evidence to support these observations. One link takes me to a general website and the other one links (guess where!) back to the same site.

If you search scholar for resilience trauma women, you will find plenty of evidence that supports women are more resilient and recover faster and better, more often, than men.

It only points out that women are more susceptible to getting PTSD from trauma. One has to factor in such things as the percentage of traumatic events both sexes encounter and what percentage from that devellop PTSD, respective emotional makeup backgrounds, and if hormones play a key role in the development of PTSD.

I would say that women are more apt to seek out help for this than men, which probably is why they successfully complete and keep with therapies that are offered.

Risk is another preceding good search before resilience... as those studies highlight many aspects to what places either sex at more risk for the development of later disorders. There are two articles that will appear in coming newsletters, one risk, one resilience, which will certainly start some interesting conversations about this, and have the necessary citations linked for people to start their own research.

Great article and fascinating information from those women survivors. Wow!

Anthony, Thanks for sharing it here and yes I believe in this fact. Women can heal from anything and with much speed.

Edit: I think women can do any miracle because they have power to give birth. Process of delivery is too painful to go through.

Some places I have read some women feel like new life after giving birth.

 

[anthony]

Not real sure women can heal from anything, or perform any miracle, period... women are simply at a greater percentage to rebound more effectively from trauma than men, due to the emotional connect females have to interpret what they feel, then talk about those feelings and express what they feel, at any given time.

due to the emotional connect females have to interpret what they feel, then talk about those feelings and express what they feel, at any given time.

I still need to learn how to do this.

You could also attribute your lack of ability for this, to why you have PTSD and struggle with rebounding as well as other women, who endure trauma yet are more resilient. Food for thought is all...
