It may seem obvious that PTSD related to one of these high risk careers could be triggered by fireworks. However, even PTSD that doesn\u2019t seem directly related to loud noises, flashing lights, and fire may still be triggered by fireworks. In this blog, we\u2019ll take a closer look at why fireworks may trigger PTSD symptoms as well as providing tips to manage PTSD triggers during July 4th firework shows. \n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd119c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fd119c7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What Is PTSD &amp; Who Does it Impact? \n<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ee2f0c9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ee2f0c9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>PTSD is an <a class=\"_3Bkfb _1lsz7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lotuspsychgroup.com\/anxiety-therapy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-hook=\"linkViewer\">anxiety disorder<\/a> that can occur after a traumatic event as well as due to repeated exposure to traumatic experiences or as a result of neglect or abuse in childhood. Traumatic events that result in PTSD are often extremely frightening or life-threatening. However, it\u2019s worth noting that every person has a different threshold. That means something that triggers a trauma response in one person may be easily managed by another. For instance, in the examples from our introduction of high risk career fields, many military service members, police officers, or firefighters can have very similar experiences, but not all of these individuals will develop PTSD. Anyone can develop PTSD following an event they perceive as traumatic. This condition does not just impact people with high risk jobs or who engage in high risk behaviors in their personal life. In fact, one of the most common causes of PTSD is the loss of a loved one.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-21c8da7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"21c8da7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How Do I Know if I Have PTSD?\n<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-84fb644 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"84fb644\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p id=\"viewer-183a3\" class=\"mm8Nw _1j-51 iWv3d _1FoOD _3M0Fe aujbK iWv3d public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">You may be struggling with PTSD if you have experienced a <a class=\"_3Bkfb _1lsz7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lotuspsychgroup.com\/trauma-therapy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-hook=\"linkViewer\">traumatic event(s)<\/a> and you notice any of the following symptoms:<\/span><\/p><p id=\"viewer-340q9\" class=\"mm8Nw _1j-51 iWv3d _1FoOD _3M0Fe aujbK iWv3d public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">\u00b7 Reliving the event \u2013 sometimes referred to as re-experiencing or flashbacks, reliving is the most common symptom of PTSD.

This time of year, there may also be fireworks at unexpected times and places that you can\u2019t plan to avoid. Additionally, avoidant behaviors (wearing ear plugs, skipping social gatherings, turning up music or TV to cover the noise of fireworks) can actually trigger a PTSD response. For instance, people who are hyperalert or on edge may feel more anxious wearing ear plugs because they\u2019re unable to hear what\u2019s going on around them.
