Today, Rachel and Jessica discuss a topic that is not typically brought up in everyday conversation - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Why? Because it’s not just soldiers who can suffer from this potentially debilitating diagnosis - parents and caregivers of children with special needs can also suffer from PTSD. Rachel and Jessica dive into what PTSD can look like as well as the WHY behind it. They also share some tips for getting help. Share this episode with someone who might benefit!
