Episode 4: Psychological Trauma and Mental Health
心理創傷 – 自療與治療
When facing an extremely stressful or hurtful event and our coping mechanism is overwhelmed, we may experience psychological trauma. The resulting emotional, physical, behavioural and cognitive reactions can range from being mild and short-lived to debilitating and chronic. In view of what the city has been through in the past year, I’d like to share with you some ideas on how to reduce the negative impact of trauma on our mental health.
一些令人感到極度震驚及傷痛的事情，可能為我們帶來不同程度的心理創傷，這時我們的身體及情緒等各方面都會出現一些反應，如果這些反應比較嚴重並且持續，便會影響我們的精神健康。有鑑於香港在過去一年所經歷的風風雨雨，我希望跟大家分享一下如何減輕創傷經驗對我們的負面影響。
