kinda need more info.

To be honest, clear, calm, patient... with spirit of love looking past their trauma... which looks to their better self.

But if you are police trying to deal with dangerous person... it's that, but with force and can go bad in a split second.

Patience, grace and encourage them to seek professional help

You simply don’t. That person needs healing , they shouldn’t be loading their trauma into other people, they should be investing their time into things/activities that will help them heal on their own.

If they can - my experience is that the trauma symptoms get expressed as rage to others. Trauma is VERY hard to treat.

[kylee2437]

@msc545 agreed but anyone going through trauma definitely needs to not unload their trauma onto others. I am guilty myself of doing it at one point.

You talk as if it is voluntary. It is most often not.

Treat them with care and give lots of support + encouragement. Also get them to a therapist.

[Hrumf]

Patience. Understanding. Encourage therapy. Support in the healing process.


Healing from trauma is a journey and it takes time.

I would be afraid that they might go off the deep end if I did the wrong thing. I would suggest therapy and I would volunteer to go too.

Depends on the trauma and type of relationship you have with them

[CaptainSmartass]

By telling them to man up and stop being such a pansy.

Simples...

Patiently and gently.
