The idea for Soul Armour came from a lesson in post-secondary traumatic stress disorder. This form of PTSD affects trauma workers because they are dealing with high levels of hyper-vigilance, i.e. fight or flight response, on a daily basis. It takes 24 hours for the brain to recover from a hyper-vilgilant state, and most trauma workers don’t have that much time before they are back on the job. This problem needs specialized help and that is what Soul Armour does.
