  • West Palm Beach-Boca Raton, FL (1888PressRelease) August 12, 2011 - Not everyone experiences trauma the same way or at the same level of intensity. It's been suggested that Highly Sensitive Persons are more susceptible to PTSD. This week on 'Your Life After Trauma' Ane Axford, MS, LMFT, mental health and relationship therapist will be talking about 'Highly Sensitive Persons' from a clinical perspective. She will be joined by David Anderson, a survivor turned coach who will explain how to use your sensitivity to access and activate the hero in you. The show airs Thursday, August 11th at 7pm EST, on Seaview Radio (95.9AM/106.9FM/960AM) and streams online at www.healmyptsd.com/your-life-after-trauma. Call in with your questions: 877.960.9960.

    According to Michele Rosenthal, host of 'Your Life After Trauma', "How we perceive trauma - and the world - impacts our perception of events and even ourselves. Studies suggest that highly sensitive persons are more prone to PTSD due to the delicate nature of their perceptions. Understanding this can help both survivors and their caregivers navigate post-trauma recovery."

    'Your Life After Trauma' brings weekly support and information to trauma survivors, plus their caregivers and healing professionals on Thursday nights from 7-8pm EST, on Seaview Radio (95.9AM/106.9FM/960AM) in southeast Florida (and streaming live online) (http://www.healmyptsd.com/your-life-after-trauma).
