You can work to relieve these anxieties by giving them some personal assurances which will prove very valuable to them

In ensuring this is something they can rely on you’re helping them take a big step. We all need levels of compassion but when people are facing something such as post-traumatic stress disorder this is even more as and by showing this level of patience and care it allows them to focus on ways of overcoming the issues they face.
