How it works
Co-regulation: being with safe others downregulates the autonomic nervous system. Reduces shame and isolation that maintain PTSD. Provides meaning-making and narrative coherence around traumatic experience.
Not all relationships are supportive — negative social reactions (minimising, blaming) worsen PTSD. Peer support groups work best with trauma-informed facilitation.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.
