So overall PTSD is post some 42 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:18,760 It's post traumatic stress disorder is a disorder that is impacted with your mental health because it's impacted with your brain 43 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,160 Like I say all the time if you're new here 44 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:27,440 The brain is a terrible thing the waste and the brain is so strong because it carries a lot of memories 45 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:34,720 And I want to use an example that may help you understand more and it may not if you guys don't know the cartoon 46 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,160 the Disney cartoon will be inside out and 47 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:45,000 The reason why I'm using inside out to compare to shed a little bit of brightness on this topic is because 48 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,160 the character Riley she is a 49 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,680 Preteens and she has a lot of elements going on in her brain. She got joy 50 00:03:54,320 --> 00:04:01,960 Discuss fear sadness anger anxiety and everything like that. They all are controlling her brain 51 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,960 so if anything is to happen such as 52 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:09,040 If she feels sad and she you know feels depressed and things like that 53 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,760 Those memories can also trigger her as well.

So 133 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,200 That's a good reason. That's a good example on how 134 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,720 people who are at risk of developing 135 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,280 developing PTSD and 136 00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:25,920 as 137 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:32,040 And as a person that's going to school for social work and have learned and seen and 138 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:37,840 Videos and things like that impact it with these topics. It's hard to like 139 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,720 Not break down because you're the person that's willing to help them and at times 140 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,880 You don't want to break down all the time, but at times it's like wow 141 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:53,480 Because this can really affect the person's lifestyle from long term and everything like that 142 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,720 so anybody that has survived PTSD shout out to you because 143 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:04,360 That is one of the most very hard and crucial things that involves with your mental health 144 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,520 Going through post traumatic stress 145 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:19,160 Post traumatic stress disorder is not easy dealing with stress anxiety depression is very hard. That's why I have this 146 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,960 This thing that's why I've created wellness one-on-one 147 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:31,440 Lessons other day because you got to reflect on things and I feel as though that 148 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,320 When it comes to like the last few days of the month 149 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:43,200 It takes time for you to reflect on the month as well as reflect on what you want for next month to become and what you don't want next 150 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:49,960 Month to end up like within this month if that makes because like I mentioned 151 00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:51,760 wellness 152 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:57,640 I'm gonna say this time.
