Charlotte: 我在回家的路上目睹了一名年轻女孩从天桥上跳下自杀的事件。尽管我尽力尝试阻止她,但最终未能成功。这件事给我带来了巨大的心理创伤,我的生活因此发生了翻天覆地的变化。我失眠,做噩梦,甚至无法正常工作。我不断地责备自己,反复思考如果当时我做了不同的选择,结果会不会有所不同。我尝试与女孩的父母取得联系,希望能够得到一些慰藉,但这种痛苦是无法真正分享的。最终,我和我的家人搬到了一个新的环境,我换了一份工作,试图从过去的阴影中走出来。尽管如此,那晚发生的事情将永远改变我的人生轨迹。 Nora McInerney: Charlotte 的故事反映了创伤事件对个体心理和生活造成的深远影响。目睹自杀事件,即使并非直接参与者,也会对目击者造成巨大的心理创伤。Charlotte 的经历凸显了社会对这类创伤的关注不足,以及人们在面对此类事件时缺乏有效的支持和帮助。我们应该更多地关注和理解那些经历了创伤事件的人,为他们提供必要的帮助和支持,帮助他们走出阴影,重建生活。

Shownotes Transcript

We are taking a break this summer (not a vacation!) to produce new stories, so we are sharing some of our favorite episodes while we’re working. This episode was first broadcast in 2018.

Remember, our full episode archive is always available to TTFA Premium members! Join here)

Charlotte’s career is built on theoreticals. As an operating room nurse, she has a protocol for every tragedy — a “then” for every “if.” That all changes one night when, on her way home, Charlotte encounters a teenage girl on the wrong side of a guardrail on an overpass above a highway.

Charlotte wasn’t this girl’s mother, or sister, or best friend. She didn’t even know her. But Charlotte was the last person who spoke to the girl before she died. She was THERE. And now, she doesn't know how to get back to the way her life used to be.

NOTE: This episode includes discussion and depictions of suicide.
