| Gail Zahtz 🇮🇱 @GailZahtz T1- I also know a lot of the work that's being done in Israel. Since every citizen has to serve, many many young adults have PTSD. There are now schools for children who've been traumatized by the war and their parents' service. #hcldr |

| Gail Zahtz 🇮🇱 @GailZahtz @michaelwroberts It’s terrible! I had no idea. I’ve been at this all week, working to save (seemingly successfully) 2 children who were being sold by their mother. My point on PTSD is that the mother was traumatized, didn’t get help, then put this on her own kids. #hcldr |

| Colin Hung @Colin_Hung T1 When I volunteered at local hospital during high school, I met a WWII veteran. He would tell me stories about his squadron and all the supply runs they made to soldiers on the front lines. He would pause when he got to painful memories, but we laughed a lot together #hcldr |

 | Fred Goldstein @fsgoldstein T1 in 1966 my Father was a Lecturer at Harvard Medical School and in the reserves, he volunteered to go to Vietnam as a physician. My mom with 5 young kids (1-6 y/o) moved onto the Army base at Ft. Devens in Massachusetts. He came back changed. Did not talk about it much. #hcldr |
| Bingle @TheBingle T1 It was amazing seeing some Veterans on television at different gatherings. The real kicker was these few I saw were from WWII. Oldest was 104. Thinking back couldn't hold back tears. They know of a dark time w/uncertainty. #hcldr |

| Gail Zahtz 🇮🇱 @GailZahtz @pfanderson @Colin_Hung It's all about reclaiming ourselves isn't it? For some that's talking privately, for others it's advocacy, other times it's publicly sharing our story. I honor everyone's decision- healing is a slow process with no one answer. Hugs. #hcldr |
| PF Anderson @pfanderson@disabled.social @pfanderson @michaelwroberts His kids were a little disgruntled that he'd sometimes climb down for me but never for them, but we had that PTSD bond, and he could see it in me. That made me safer to him. #hcldr |

| Gail Zahtz 🇮🇱 @GailZahtz The point @michaelwroberts is that the impact of war can lead to PTSD in veterans as well as those impacted by war. The WHO talks about this in #SDOH but I'm seeing it 1st hand. #hcldr |

| Gail Zahtz 🇮🇱 @GailZahtz @michaelwroberts I agree! Honestly, I have a lot going on right now- not trauma, moving, just life things. Getting out of myself to help others in a truly life and death situation, I feel like they’re helping me more. And the people I’ve met- awesome #hcldr |
| PF Anderson @pfanderson@disabled.social @pfanderson @GailZahtz @Colin_Hung Agreed. Each person takes it at their own pace. I didn't start talking about it until after 40 years had passed. Evidently, that's not unusual for people. Our culture, our society isn't friendly about these things #hcldr |

| Colin Hung @Colin_Hung @heltweet Thanks for sharing that Helen. #PTSD isn't restricted to veterans. It happens to social workers, clinicians, teachers, anyone. It's important that we don't just associate it with military #hcldr |

| Gail Zahtz 🇮🇱 @GailZahtz @askjoyrios Not to my understanding. I do know there is a difference in impact and treatments with one time trauma and “long term- repetitive trauma”. But what happens to the brain in TBI or PTSD is it gets stuck in the “fight or flight” mode and can’t get out. #hcldr |
| Bingle @TheBingle RT @pfanderson: @hcldr My great-granddad was a Korean vet. I only found out 2 yrs ago. It was a well kept family secret, & I don't know why.

| Gail Zahtz 🇮🇱 @GailZahtz Also on the topic of treatment options- it's my opinion that different options can be good at different times along the healing process. NET has a great long term impact, but one has to be past the daily life of the trauma. #hcldr |
| PF Anderson @pfanderson@disabled.social @pfanderson RT @esteckler2: T1 my BIL was a medic. He doesn’t talk a lot about what he saw but his wife shared with us that right after a fight out in which his friend was killed he saved the man who had killed him. #hcldr |

| Sandra Woods, CIPP/C; she/her @SandraWoodsMtl #hcldr Gotta go, thanks everyone for a fantastic chat! Hugs to @Colin_Hung for a the blog post/topic, and to @JoeBabaian for being our wingman 🤗 https://t.co/ufoQU1ABM0 |
| Gail Zahtz 🇮🇱 @GailZahtz On reducing stigma and related conversations that have developed, we can only be as understanding of others as we can be of ourselves. If we are all patients, then we can all be gentle with our pasts. That's easier said than done. #hcldr |
| PF Anderson @pfanderson@disabled.social @pfanderson @SandraWoodsMtl @Colin_Hung @heltweet Thank you. I was avoiding bringing this up tonight, but I am awfully glad you did #hcldr |
| Nathan Grunewald MD MBA FACS @NathanGrunewald Kudos to @Colin_Hung & @JoeBabaian for moderating such an important topic, #PTSD, and including our military service men + women as the focus. Thank you. #hcldr 👊🌈😃🚀 |
| Colin Hung @Colin_Hung RT @pfanderson: @KisteinM @hcldr I just read this "sci-fi" graphic novel on PTSD in a homeless vet who was a part time medic https://t.co/0S0FX03FHz A beautiful and thinly veiled story of our times #hcldr |
| PF Anderson @pfanderson@disabled.social @pfanderson RT @GailZahtz: @pfanderson It was unbelievably terrific for me for what it does best. Some generalists say they do EMDR and I would steer clear. I’ve found it’s best for a specific cause (e.g. a trauma that’s leading to night terrors) and effective with an EMDR specialist. #hcldr |
| Colin Hung @Colin_Hung @pfanderson @KisteinM @hcldr Thanks for sharing Patricia. I'll have to check it out. #hcldr |
| Ken Taylor, RPIC @KenRayTaylor T4 Takes courage 2 admit you need help. Most stigma's come from the weak minded that are to lazy to research. Dale Carnegie's quote "Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain - and most fools do. But it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving. #HCLDR |
| Alzheimer's Los Angeles @AlzheimersLA RT @pfanderson: @Colin_Hung @heltweet There are many types of trauma that trigger PTSD, too. There is healthcare PTSD from poor experiences; workplace PTSD from workplace bullying, and so forth. Trauma of all sorts #hcldr |

| Alzheimer's Los Angeles @AlzheimersLA RT @Colin_Hung: @heltweet Thanks for sharing that Helen. #PTSD isn't restricted to veterans. It happens to social workers, clinicians, teachers, anyone. It's important that we don't just associate it with military #hcldr |

| Gail Zahtz 🇮🇱 @GailZahtz @fsgoldstein I think people should know that they have a right to say that a particular therapist isn't the best fit for them. Just like no 2 people are alike, their experience with trauma isn't the same, and they may need different hcp styles. #hcldr |
| Colin Hung @Colin_Hung @NathanGrunewald @JoeBabaian Thanks Nathan. We try to tackle relevant topics...and tough ones. Even though some of us (like myself) don't have direct experience. It's still incumbent upon us to talk about it IMHO. #hcldr |

| PF Anderson @pfanderson@disabled.social @pfanderson RT @GailZahtz: More on what we can do- there's a lot of emphasis put on "surviving"- having courage in battle, or getting through abuse or sickness. We need to honor people's long term healing after the public victory. (T3) #hcldr |
| PF Anderson @pfanderson@disabled.social @pfanderson RT @GailZahtz: Yes, that’s what I’m saying. I do in my own case say comfortably that I was a warrior with cancer- that’s my own choice, others make different choices. But the healing from any trauma is much more about a long and gentle process. #hcldr |
| Naomi, BSc MHSc @NaomiNerdsOut T4 #hcldr Better education surrounding it - let people know what it actually is, what it actually does, what it looks like - and change the culture to be a healing one. I don't have the answers for all the things that need to change to take us there. |

| Gail Zahtz 🇮🇱 @GailZahtz @pfanderson I’ll give a personal example. I kept reliving a night when my son was almost beaten to death (domestic violence). Nightmares, couldn’t stop thinking that I could have done more. For me, EMDR was fabulous at helping me understand that night differently. #hcldr |

| PF Anderson @pfanderson@disabled.social @pfanderson @GailZahtz It's about relationships. About finding someone you love who loves you anyway. Maybe a parent or a child, a spouse or a friend. Someone. Nothing heals trauma better than healthy relationships #hcldr |

| Ian Pereira @IanJPereira @AECothron In some ways similar to Canada's public healthcare system (can't comment on our military health system). In cancer we've instituted navigators for breast, GI, and lung cancers. Not sure if a simpler system could save this. #hcldr #cdnpoli T1 |
| Gail Zahtz 🇮🇱 @GailZahtz @fsgoldstein I hold what I said earlier, that different therapies can be the right answer at different times for people along their journey. There’s no one answer for everyone nor one answer for a single person all of the time. #hcldr |

| PF Anderson @pfanderson@disabled.social @pfanderson @GailZahtz @salrasa My daughter has dental phobia and PTSD. https://t.co/83MejpBQyB It's a horribly damaging thing to have any healthcare PTSD because it stops you from getting needed care #hcldr |
| Alzheimer's Los Angeles @AlzheimersLA RT @fsgoldstein: Another difficulty is “How do you know the therapist is not good?” or that another is better. These issues are multi-level complicated. So making a change may or may not be right, it’s hard… #hcldr #NoSilverBullet |

| Ian Pereira @IanJPereira @naomi_re_health I can only imagine how hard healthcare systems are for vets who entered the military because of poor social determinants and leave with the same in addition to #MentalHealth issues.

| PF Anderson @pfanderson@disabled.social @pfanderson @GailZahtz @StorkBrian @hcldr Yes, yes, yes. A year ago we released a video game to try to help prevent young adults with autism from being at risk from online predators.

| Naomi, BSc MHSc @NaomiNerdsOut @IanJPereira I'm from the US, though I live in Canada. It's awful, because it costs the world, the VA is inefficient, and it's set up to cost you your bank account and your health, physical and mental. It's a supremely broken system. #hcldr |

| Gail Zahtz 🇮🇱 @GailZahtz @pfanderson @StorkBrian @hcldr The state wide domestic violence organization that I work with, think very highly of- one of the things they do very well is all staff of every position go through at least monthly trainings on the impact of others' trauma on their own selves. #hcldr |
| PF Anderson @pfanderson@disabled.social @pfanderson @couragesings Actually, seconding this. If the insurance pays, you can forget, it can go away.

| Gail Zahtz 🇮🇱 @GailZahtz @pfanderson @StorkBrian @hcldr So this is another interesting (and painful) part of human trafficking that I’ve learned this week. Many of the people who are helping and related to the situation, were trafficked themselves. So helping these kids re-ignites their own PTSD. #hcldr |
