Medical Trauma: Clinical Tools for Treating PTSD, Anxiety, and Depression Following a Health Crisis

---

Your clients with medical trauma know that a health crisis can upend life at any moment.

And they know that crisis doesn’t end when the physical body is stabilized.

The impacts of medical trauma are as broad as they are misunderstood. Many mental health problems can arise from experiences like heart attack, stroke, intubation and mechanical ventilation, emergency Caesarean section, allergic reaction, seizure, accidentrelated amputation, cancer diagnosis, and more.

While some clients may have entered your practice with the unique presentation of PTSD that results from medical trauma, many more have likely come to you for help with other clinical issues that could be fueled by a past health crisis. Think of the client with depression who also has a history of heart failure. Or the client with social anxiety whose irritable bowel disease is listed on your intake form but never gets discussed. Or the client with dependency issues in their relationships who harbors a deeply entrenched sense of fragility related to a congenital illness.
