How do you know when it’s just a tough experience and when your job is causing you real trauma?
On this episode of Fed Thread, Faust Ruggiero, psychologist, author and clinical trainer of federal employees, takes a closer look at PTSD and mental health in the federal workforce.
He explains:
– what qualifies as PTSD,
– why it can go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed,
– how trauma can build over time, and
– the first critical steps to addressing work-related mental distress.
The conversation also gets into the stigmas that can keep people from seeking help, how colleagues and supervisors can respond when they’re concerned about someone, and what happens when you raise the bar from simply surviving to thriving.
If you’re white-knuckling it through the day or know someone who’s struggling, check out the full episode.
