I recently experienced a minor traumatic event (partner had a sudden medical event and I had to call 911 - everything is ok now and it seems unlikely to reoccur). I feel like I've emotionally recovered from the event but I'm still feeling unusually foggy, distractible, and tired a week later (despite going out of my way to get good sleep).
My therapist thinks this is a trauma response - if so, is there anything I can do about this other than taking it easy and practicing self-care?
