Milliways Dossier: Sam Wilson
Threads: (x)
History
- Knits as therapy, hmm - "Music can be a another sort of release"
- Trained in counselling for post traumatic stress disorders (PTSD)
Impressions
- Threat Level: None
- "PTSD happens when something terrible occurs and the person it happened to keeps reliving the event to some degree" - bad dreams or panic attacks - this sounds awful
- PTSD - also known as shellshock
- People can recover, but sometimes they're reminded of the event and it hurts
- Sam is rather kind, and genuinely helps people - I'm impressed
- People with PTSD try to hide it because they're thought of as dangerous
- People can become violent, or give up and "die inside"
- "A lot of times it's because they feel helpless or trapped with no way to heal"
- "One thing you have to keep in mind with any of this, is to not see the person as their problems. It's like a person with a cold. You don't see them as the disease, you see them as a person with a cold"
- Easy to talk to
- Very well trained
Weaknesses
- None for now
- Assumed to have seen combat himself?
Scabs
- Has he seen combat and experienced PTSD?
- What made him want to be a counselor?
- How many years has he been one?
Opportunities
- Can learn more about shellshock and hopefully make a friend
