Today is Remembrance Sunday, where we honour the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of all who have served, and the families who have stood beside them.

For many veterans, remembrance can bring complex emotions, including pride, grief, guilt, or the weight of memories that never fade. These emotions can sometimes evolve into deeper challenges such as moral injury, trauma, or unresolved grief - experiences that deserve understanding and compassionate support.

We recognise that recovery isn’t only physical, it’s also emotional, psychological, and moral. Our work with veterans in Lincolnshire and soon in Scotland focuses on creating safe spaces for reflection, healing, and rebuilding purpose after service.

If you or someone you know is struggling with trauma or transition after service, reach out. Support is available, and healing is possible.

Does your child struggle to manage big emotions? 😢👦

Many children face extra challenges regulating their feelings due to traumatic experiences, sensory sensitivities, or ongoing stress at home or school. When this happens, emotional reactions can seem to appear “out of the blue,” leaving families feeling stuck.

At Psychological Therapeutic Solutions, we offer specialist EMDR therapy for children and adolescents. This evidence-based approach helps young people safely process difficult experiences and build emotional resilience — often through creative, playful, and age- appropriate methods.

👀 EMDR can help children:
• Reduce the intensity of distressing memories
• Manage anxiety and behavioural difficulties
• Boost confidence and self-esteem
• Feel safer and more secure in everyday life

🏢 What Does a Trauma-Informed Workplace Actually Look Like?

It’s more than posters and policies.

A trauma-informed workplace is one where people feel:
✅ Safe — emotionally and physically
✅ Seen — their experiences are recognised without judgement
✅ Supported — not just when things go wrong, but every day

It’s a culture where managers ask, not assume, and where wellbeing isn’t an afterthought.
This , let’s move beyond buzzwords — and build workplaces that truly support healing, trust, and growth.

Bonfire Night can be a difficult time for some children, especially those who have experienced trauma or are sensitive to loud noises.
​
Sudden bangs and flashes can activate the amygdala, aka the brain’s alarm system, making this time of year especially challenging for neurodivergent children or those with trauma.
​
Here are some examples of how your child might present if their nervous system is dysregulated:
• Fight response - lashing out or refusing to follow instructions.
• Flight response - avoiding eye contact or hiding.
• Freeze response - becoming very still or appearing spaced out.
• Fawn response - overagreeing or masking discomfort.

This Bonfire Night, you can help your child feel safer by:
🎧 Using ear defenders or headphones
🏡 Watching firework displays from indoors or further away
🫶 Naming what’s happening: “Those bangs are fireworks - we’re safe here.”
🎨 Choosing alternative activities for Bonfire Night, like crafts or watching films
​
Safety isn’t just physical; it’s felt. Helping a child’s nervous system stay regulated builds trust and resilience over time.

Halloween can be exciting for many children, but for others, it’s overwhelming.
​
Loud noises, masks, flashing lights, and sudden scares can activate a child’s fight, flight, or freeze response, especially if they’ve experienced trauma or are neurodivergent.

Here are some examples of how your child may present if their nervous system is triggered:
🤺 Fight response - loud tantrums or insisting on specific trick-or-treating routes.
🏃 Flight response - refusing to go out or asking to leave early.
🥶 Freeze response - going quiet or having difficulty choosing a costume or sweets.
✋ Fawn response - people pleasing or not seeming like themselves.

A few gentle ways to support them:
🕯️ Prepare them by explaining what to expect.
👂 Offer choices - it’s okay if they don’t want to join in.
💬 Validate their feelings: “That was scary for you.”
​
Trauma-informed parenting isn’t about removing every challenge - it’s about helping children feel safe when those challenges arise.

🧥 Perfectionism, People-Pleasing, Burnout… or Trauma in Disguise?

At first glance, it might look like someone who’s overachieving, always helpful, or simply tired.
But sometimes, what we’re seeing is trauma, showing up in the workplace wearing a mask.

🔍 Common trauma masks at work:
Perfectionism: Fear of making a mistake, rooted in past experiences of punishment or shame.
People-pleasing: A survival strategy to stay safe or accepted, especially after trauma involving rejection or conflict.
Burnout: Chronic hypervigilance, emotional exhaustion, or shutting down, not just “a busy week,” but a nervous system on overdrive.

💬 Trauma in the workplace often hides in plain sight. It’s not always loud. It can look like silence. Overwork. Withdrawal. Or a smile that’s just a bit too practiced.

💛 So what can we do?
Support each other with compassion. Check in, not just on performance — but on people. Create space where it’s okay not to be okay.

At PT Solutions, we help organisations and individuals understand trauma’s impact — and build safer, healthier workplace cultures.

🧠 “Is it really just work stress?”3 Questions to Ask Your Staff When Work Stress Seems Bigger Than the Job

🎯 For case managers and professionals supporting others, it’s crucial to know when workplace stress might be signalling something deeper.

Sometimes what looks like burnout, shutdown, or overreaction at work is actually a trauma response, shaped by years of surviving, coping, or masking.

💡 Here are 3 trauma-informed prompts to help you reflect with your workforce:
1️⃣ Has this reaction happened in other jobs too?
2️⃣ Does this situation remind you (or your body) of something you’ve experienced before?
3️⃣ What part of you feels under threat — your job, or something more personal?

Workplace stress isn’t always about the workload. Sometimes, trauma walks into work long before the emails pile up.

💬 If you support clients navigating employment challenges — or want to upskill your team with trauma-informed training — we can help.
