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
