Episode notes
Most People Are Innately Resilient
- Most people (70–80%) are innately resilient and won’t develop PTSD after adversity.
- Resilience is also a skill that can be strengthened with psychological tools.
Treat Mental Health As Medical Care
- Ask and address mental health during medical care because stress is a cardiovascular risk factor.
- Integrate therapy and psychological support into medical treatment plans.
Start With Radical Acceptance
- Practice acceptance: acknowledge what happened so you can act instead of being paralyzed.
- Use therapy, role models, and time to reduce the intensity of fear and worry.
