What advice would you give to those, be it a spouse or a parent or a caregiver or other loved one?

one?Yeah.

So I mean, one of the, the first things that I tell parents or even friends of family members that have had some kind of traumatic experience is, first is validate their experience.

It's easy to think, you'd wanna say, "Oh, well, you survived.

Just be grateful." But if you can really recognize and acknowledge that they've been through something really terrifying and validate that to them, that's one of the areas that can be really helpful.

The other thing is to be patient, because healing from a, a trauma is not something that follows, like, a neat timeline.

It, it's different for everybody, and so being patient with that is very helpful.

absolutelyWhat practical strategies can people begin using immediately after they've had one of these events to support both their emotional and physical recovery?
