I’m sure losing some weight would greatly improve your health. Wouldn’t it be terrible if you lived that way for years and years when it was only something you ate and ate too much of it repeatedly. Because if I had to carry 1/3 of my body weight extra I would probably Collapse from exhaustion at work too
You should NEVER approach ANYONE from behind suddenly and make contact to get their attention. Whether they have a service dog or not. You do not know what that person may have gone through recently. I really hate it when someone comes up behind me and touches me, when I do not know who they are. I've had some bad experiences with inappropriate touching from behind. Just don't do it. Approach from the front and SPEAK to the person. And always, always ASK before touching! As my kindergarten teacher used to say, "Keep your hands to yourself." And don't argue with the person or get bent out of shape if the person says, No, I do not want to be touched.
Take your headphones off, pay attention to your surroundings if someone touching you on the shoulder makes you freak out like this... this cant be real, and I am definitely not getting you a glass of water after you act like that, you need to go to time out or something.
everyone's been upset when this is clearly a "what if" scenario, notice how the camera is perfectly aimed? this video isn't a "this is my daily life" it's to inform what the plan is if an episode happens at work. disabled people have just as much of a right to participate in this society as any able bodied person. edit: for everyone who still doesn't get it. this video is S T A G E D. it is SCRIPTED! an actual episode is not triggered here! it is literally just to show what to do if one is triggered NOT *how* it might be triggered!! they probably just needed something quick and simple to act as a F A K E trigger!!! IT IS NOT REAL.
Fact that this needs to be stated is somewhat sad.... I love videos like these that actually help you become a better person in public settings... Knowing not to touch service animals is one thing, but showing the entire inpact the service animal has... Cannot be enough videos of...
Maybe if she wasn't listening to music and be more alert maybe those so called episodes won't happen.. what a bunch of weak people we are raising in this country
I'm a Vietnam vet I suffer from PTSD and grand mal seizures I have a red nose pitbull service dog you would not believe how many businesses have tried to prevent me from entering their establishment because he's a pit bull!!😅
I don’t blame them I mean pit bulls are the ones on the news all the time about mauling children and innocent people I don’t like pits either but you can’t refuse service dogs
I don't understand why people are so afraid of pit bulls, they're the sweetest dogs you'll ever meet but people train them to be aggressive, it's disgusting
I believe this was a example what to do and everyone is overreacting. You should always be knowledgeable and respect your coworkers if they have a condition like this. Just think about if it were you. You would want the same respect and work a normal job as everyone else. You keep doing you girl! ❤️
Ya but you should also be smart about it yourself if someone talking to you asking you questions and u don’t hear them cause u got headphones someone’s going to walk up to you
Do you go up to yout coworkers and inform them of any and all medical issues? I for one am very afraid of strange dogs especially off leash. Do I need to make sure she knows to keep the dog away from me or can I just expect her to be a decent human?
people will pull the "you're not really disabled everyone can work pull yourself up by your bootstraps" shit until they have to accommodate a disabled coworker and then it's all "if you're that soft maybe you shouldn't be out in public".
Precisely. How many of these people criticize her have ever met a combat veteran with PTSD? Were they criticizing them like that? No, they probably are the same people who say 'we treat veterans so poorly as a country, good job employing vets, yada yada bs.'
Don't forget the leap from "you shouldn't be out in public or working, get on fmla or disability" to "these disabled people are a drain on the welfare system, why do I have to pay taxes for them they're probably faking anyway"
Half of them can't even read either. This is a scripted example/explanation and everyone's being sooo smart in the comments. They hate accommodating disabled people but also loathe having to support them 🤡
@@jonpitts1978 says the guy that's obviously done no research into any of this. Better luck next time champ. Seriously, take 3 seconds to Google "can you train your own service dog?" and you get the answer: "Service animals can be professionally trained or trained by the handler themselves. Under Title II and Title III, a service animal handler does not need to provide certification for their service animal."
@@jonpitts1978if the dog is task trained and trained for public access than it’s a service dog. period. no matter who trained it. you seem like the kind of person who would fall for service dog “registration” or “certification” too, both of which aren’t real and are scams
No one should do that to anyone. I'm partially deaf. It totally freaks me out when people come up behind me.This is very helpful for people who don't know.
I have ptsd from being SA from the age of 9 to 12 and the last time someone snuck up on me, I'm not proud of what I did but I ended up putting him in the hospital, again I'm not proud of what I did, my fight or flight response kicked in and I chose fight, I found out what hospital he was at and what room he was in so I was able to apologize and he said it's ok and he understands because he's a veteran with ptsd and he should have known better than to do that, him and I talked and I visited him every day he was in the hospital and even after he was discharged him and I went out for coffee or lunch sometimes, sadly he passed away from cancer and I still visit his grave and pay my respects and to keep the groundskeeper his grave sight clean along with the graves of other fallen soldiers, first responders, and more.
@halflifeW283 I am a combat veteran with 15 years in the Marines and 2 tours in Falluja Iraq, and a woman could put me in the hospital because i wouldn't fight back, and if i didn't understand the situation i could try to grab her to calm her down and unknowingly trigger her more by trying to hold her still till she calmed down. All she would have to do is grab any nearby sharp object and stab me in the throat; lots of sharp objects in a bathroom, by my sink I have a wooden box with a hand made Japanese straight razor, some grooming scissors, hell stabbing someone in the eye with a toothbrush handle will put them in the hospital. Anything is possible when you are terrified and triggered. Don't assume all men are invincible and that all women are fragile and helpless. As i said i spent 2 combat tours in some of the most violent fighting in Iraq and all that constant neural stimulus of death or life situations rewired my brain to be numb to shock. But when i got back the opposite took over. I get startled by fireworks or a loud bang and my legs shake and i fall over like a feinting goat or have a full on seizure. I have to take 8 pills a day just to reduce the seizures so i can get through the day and i had my drivers license taken away because I started having seizures while driving. Most vets get the "you don't LOOK disabled" and they get harassed with you look fine why are you pretending to be disabled. I however don't have that problem much, i have missing body parts and visible scars on my hands, face, and neck (all the places body armor and a helmet don't protect) And to be 100% honest with you...if i triggered a woman by accident and she tried to kill me, at this point i would hold my hands behind my back look to the sky to expose my neck and let her try her best to kill me with a smile of sweet relief on my face as i hope the darkness takes me for good this time.

Good job to you and your furry partner! I love this 🖤💕💖
Agreed, people are being so rude! This is clearly a informative video, this is just a reenactment of what could happen, people really don’t have any manners
@@alisonmccainpeople are jumping to conclusions when they don't actually know what they're watching, a skit filmed as a workplace training video, and patting themselves on the back with all these "WELL ACKshually the dog should have done THIS and she probably doesn't have ptsd I feel sorry for her coworkers" I think that's what OP meant by reading comprehension
I would agree. But i want to know her condition first. Edit: like what is the reason behind it obvious not my business but i have seen alot of people with un trained dogs putting a jacket on them and calling them service dogs. Most service dogs for ptsd in a position where someone is scared of attack are trained to warn if someone approaches from behind for this exact reason. The dog was literally staring and did not give any cues.
@@rbdb8953 they have a work station in front of them how else are they supposed to approach? If you can't be approached from behind maybe headphones aren't the best idea so people can get your attention when required to not startle you or cause a panic attack if that isn't an option maybe that job isn't a good fit.
Reasonable accommodations. The key word is “reasonable.” That aside, she has both her headphones on in a work environment. I don’t know any workplace that allowed headphones outside of PPE, for one. But if she’s this traumatized, to the point of shutting down and having to sit for who knows how long from just a touch on the shoulder? Why would she put herself in a position where she can’t hear someone approaching, especially if the dog clearly isn’t trained to alert her to incoming strangers? It’s not just an inconvenience, it’s a liability. This is all on top of the way she sort of demanded a glass of water from someone who is presumably a stranger to her- I imagine that rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.
@@dragonsheen3049this is literally an educational video, which should tell you youre making a lot of assumptions. aside from that, there are likely a lot of reasons for any number of accommodations in a workplace you personally don't understand, that doesnt make them unreasonable.
@@dragonsheen3049verything shown here IS reasonable. She didnt demand, the guy ASKED if she needed anything. People can get your attention by literally walking in front of them. If you can't handle any of that, it's a you problem. If headphones weren't allowed, she wouldn't wear them. Also, this is HYPOTHETICAL and EDUCATIONAL.
if you literally cannot be spoken to without having a breakdown you're probably less of an asset to the company and more of a nuisance. Imagine going to talk to a coworker about something simple that needs to get done, and they just shut down like this whenever you do. People working are there to make money, this isn't an inconvenience, you're ruining time that could be spent actually making money for the salaries of your workers. Not to mention that your useful employees won't enjoy working with someone who curls up into a ball when you speak to them. You're just destroying the workflow at multiple points. Disability pay exists for a reason.
I have PTSD and people have not respected this at work, so yes this scenario really does happen in real life. So grateful for the work of service dogs ❤️
That's because a dog can't do shit for PTSD that means there a emotional support animal not a service dog cause they actually have to perform a service not just sit there for you to pet when you have a bad day. You want to know what real PTSD is I served 3 tours in Iraq and I don't take my fucking dog to work
@@jonpitts1978how about you educate yourself before going around commenting dumb shit? ptsd service dogs do deep pressure therapy (shown in this video!! they’re not “sitting there petting their dog” the dog is giving deep pressure therapy! having weight on your body helps calm you down faster, that’s why weighted blankets/stuffed animals are a thing!!), act as a barrier between you and people, alert you when you show anxiety symptoms and need to leave an environment, are trained to guide you to the nearest exit or restroom when you need a quiet place, remind you to take your meds, bring your meds to you to take, and more! if a dog is TASK TRAINED they are a SERVICE DOG. point blank.
So I’ve got complex post traumatic stress disorder, just from severe longterm traumatic exposure for my entire life, anywho the other day I was showering and my bf opened the shower curtain and I literally screamed bloody murder, fell back and felt my heart pound out of my chest for like 15 minutes and threw up 😂😂😂 them episodes are no joke dude.
Realizing that there’s C-PTSD AND PTSD was totally game changing. Especially when my therapist & I figured out I have both. I hate showering with the curtain fully closed. I keep a peekable amount open on each end. 😂
@@VintageRayne I completely agree! One of my old therapists thought I had bipolar disorder, for the longest time- until I seen a trauma therapist and he was like “girl no, let me tell ya something about cptsd-“ it all made so much sense after hearing the symptoms and everything. & I hear ya on the shower curtain thing, that’s me af nowadays lol.
This is the biggest reason I can't live with anyone, and it's difficult to shower to begin with. If this ever happens to me to me again I do think I would have an actual heart attack
You guys have to just use clear shower liners as your shower curtain! I couldn’t stand not being able to see what’s in or out of the shower so I got rid of the typical curtain and kept the clear liner. My shower is safe now! I love it! 💕
the fellow employee was very kind and understanding and the place of employment obviously Knew when they hired her she had some issues as Disabled should Never be made fun of or bullied.. And guy who touched her had no idea as it was inadvertent but still could trigger or startle someone. Glad you had your service dog as he was very comforting and kept an eye out for you also
If you're triggered like this from someone tapping your shoulder, I don't think you should be working outside of the home. Sorry, but uh ... Yeah. Stick with therapy and keep working on it, but that's something that's on you.
The comment section on this is so scary. It's awful how little compassion people feel. Im so happy there is a workplace willing to accommodate! Being ill doesn't make you a burden, and everyone deserves to try and have a "normal" life for themselves.
@Epic Ray on a random? They are coworkers. The co-workers are likely aware, but sometimes accidents happen, and that's why she has a service dog. I hope that if you ever need compassion, the way she does, you receive it and grow as a person.
@Unfathomable Horror you sound deranged. Have you ever thought that maybe you aren't the center of attention. "Oh don't touch unfathomable from behind, they get ptsd episodes" sounds like a constant burden.
Sorry she has ptsd, she should position herself to be able to see someone approaching. Maybe a mirror, the person saying her name, only wearing earphone on one ear, etc. Do all she can to help herself stay calm. Her coworkers should be informed of her triggers. People are usually very understanding! Her service dog is awesome.
I appreciate this comment a lot! This video is a clip form a parter ship I did with Amazon the shipping company who requested I make a video for there employees on how to internet with works with service dogs I went over PTSD diabetic and hearing alert. In this clip I was showing how to approach someone with a PTSD dogs while where ear protection at work! You can check out the full video on my page for the correct way to do this! I love the ideas you had tho!
@@learningservicedogs I did not know it was for ptsd, I thought she was a medical alert doggo. So does it actually help with ptsd? Curious, I have the ptsd as well
@@picachugirl2036PTSD service dogs help calm down their owner during an episode and sometimes things like make space between their owner and maybe a crowd or group of people to prevent overwhelming physical contact.
PTSD, like Autism, is a spectrum and some people suffer GREATLY from it. I can only imagine the trauma she went through to have episodes this bad. She needs empathy and understanding while she works through recovery.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can develop after a very stressful, frightening or distressing event, or after a prolonged traumatic experience. Types of events that can lead to PTSD include: serious accidents. physical or sexual assault. A disorder in which a person has difficulty recovering after experiencing or witnessing a terrifying event. The condition may last months or years, with triggers that can bring back memories of the trauma accompanied by intense emotional and physical reactions.
That’s a lot of explaining for saying she’s afraid and has been taught her whole life to play the victim card. She probably blames others for her being whale sized too. You know how many vets could actually use this dog and it’s training? Instead some entitled twat gets it? And your standing up for it? No wonder this world is FUCKED
As someone with PTSD, I don't rely on people being accommodating to me. I feel it's not fair to make them feel guilty for simply doing things like tapping your shoulder. That's why I always position myself as to see where people might come from, and if I can't do that I just stay wary. It's an instinct.
Same!!! IMO this is some BS!!! You react that way to bring tapped yet you're wearing both headphones and not at all aware of your surroundings. Clearly not the job for her🙄
How does an exacerbation of your condition make someone else feel guilty? If it was an accident, shii happens. “I’m sorry, I’ll be more cautious moving forward. Thank you for letting me know” that’s isn’t hard at all and no guilt should come from it. Neither from the person who triggered you without knowing that would set you off, nor from the person with PTSD who just had an attack
@@perpetualsick No sh*t it's scripted dumb a$$. Lol because no one has anything better to do than stand there and record some mess totally overreacting to someone tapping her shoulder. That doesn't change my comment. If you're reacting like that then you should be working elsewhere. Some stranger on UTUBE is not going to call me dumb. I have severe PTSD and would never be so selfish to make the world around me adjust itself to accommodate only my needs. Nor do I have a service dog for something like that. Emotional support animals. I'm so glad my son's are not the snowflakes that the rest of this generation seems to be. Either work from home or go one disability. Or toughen up. I had to. And I did. So tired of wiping the butts of the entitled spoiled brats they make up today's generation. Sorry🤷🏼♀️
@@KomaedasOneTrueHope No, it isn't, because what is she actually able to do and she's not only stopping work herself but she's interfereing with other members of staff getting on with their work, that is not acceptable it's ridiculous when your Employer is trying to run a business!!!
@@LeRouxFilms i agree. But they don't have the right to work literally anywhere they want. Like this lady could clearly not work as air traffic control or as a cop. Some jobs just aren't meant for certain weak stock
This gives ptsd a bad rep, we are all certainly not that socially awkward and unavailable to society. I’m proud that I have a ptsd service dog but this is only 1 interpretation of what it’s like to suffer from ptsd and definitely only 1 interpretation of living with it and going to work with a service dog.
A sicurity guy did similar to me he came up really close thankfully he didn't touch me but he then accused my Phyciatric assistance dog in training of being a emotional support animal which made things worse
@Storm Mist yh they should I haven't seen him in the shop since so I'm hoping he got strongly disciplined or fired I emails the shop and they didn't get in contact at all but I message other shops to say thanks for the staff being educated and kind and I mentioned to one of the shops it was so nice the people were cominting on how well she is doing and things like that and I said to them that we had just had a bad access issue with a shop and it really shook us up and them saying that made our day they said they would get in touch with the shop so I think they might be partners or somthing. Lots of shops are very uneducated they should have a yearly chat/reminder about how to act and what to do or not do like health and safety
I think there should be some id for service dogs, something people would carry with them much like ur own id, or a drivers license, that way we can weed out the fake service dogs, and get rid of so many arguments over wether a service dog is real or not
@@Firehawk3672 yep and if your in public and have ptsd...such as me.....YOU need to realize , not everybody is aware that people have ptsd. People should stop trying to have EVRRYBODY canceled for fk sake.
@@proanimaluver6487 yep. Sick of people trying to cancel everyone that doesn't fit into their opinion of perfection.. anyone who gets bent out of shape against someone else's ignorance, someone who is just trying to help or understand but still kind of doesn't, is just adding onto their hardships and then onto someone else's.
As someone with PTSD, there is no way that employers are going to deal with this. Unfortunately, even though people with PTSD and mental health issues are "technically protected" by federal law, scrutiny and judgment at work from coworkers can be awful. And because essentially every state is an at will employer, they are also protected by firing you for any reason. Employers will just get rid of you and find a reason or make up one. My advice to others dealing with severe trauma. Focus on self care and self respect, find emotional support through animals, groups, AA, whatever it may be. But in the workplace, you have to stay strong. Arguably unfortunate, but it's reality
This is so true. I have a PTSD service dog. But when I work she stays home but goes everywhere else with me. . But work is work my employer doesn't see it fit
For those asking about their employment: So here's the thing, people need money to survive. And I agree that they should be eligable for Disability, but that sort of thing can takes YEARS to get. I have reactions like this out in any public space and have been denied 2xs already for govt assistance, despite having notes from my psychitrists, my therapists, ect. For me, I'm fortunate I have friends who are letting me live with them for free, but most peope do not have that level of luxary. Meaning this person may NEED to work to sustain themselves and their animal. While I do HOPE that OP gets a better job, and/or gets approved for disability benefits, sometimes you got to work with what hand you're dealt.
I have a dog for PTSD as well that dogs position is so that your dog can let you know if someone is going to approach you that dog did not do that is it still in training? Also you literally have to hold his head to stop him from getting up like 😅
I have no service dog. But i collapsed after a strabge man touchdd my shoulder to ask me something. It was outside a store and i woke up, because a dog was licking over my face. The owner saw what happened. And did not wanted to touch me, so he let his dog help me. It was a pure moment of gold for me. And I know a pet will help me, but my financial situation is not giving me the option. So i am happy that others can have the furried comanions they need.
While this is just an example: Keep in mind that ptsd is on a spectrum, similar to autism or downs or other mental disorders, and many people can experience over stimulation, over sensitivity, heightened anxiety... Ect with ptsd. This may explain why some people use or wear earphones or earbuds at work, as long as your job has no issues with it or is willing to accommodate that, it shouldn't be considered an issue. Another thing to add, people with physical disabilities are allowed accommodations because it's a visible disability, this should also extend to all disabilities. Even if the needs or accommodations are different, everyone should have the abilities and opportunities to try to live a productive and somewhat normal life. If you find yourself judging people with disabilities, consider this: People are involved in car accidents, or tragic work incidents every day, people are constantly crippled in one way or another. Throughout the world there is a heightening rate of physical and s*xual assault. You could very well be in that person's place at any time any given day. The world is a dangerous place, regardless of how carefully you live, someone else's stupid decisions could permanently effect you the rest of your life. You don't have to understand, but try to be kind, or, like many people have said throughout the years, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
True and some workplaces require ear protection! Which I believe was what this video was demonstrating. If you work in a noisy environment and need to get someone's attention who has an accommodation of a dog
What happens on the day that she no longer has this dog why I like the idea of these dogs to be with people but people also need to learn to get away from the problem that they need this dog for.
Most psychiatric conditions that are properly treated with a service dog are conditions that will not improve with help from therapy or medication and that is why the service dogs is an appropriate accommodation for a psychiatric condition. For example TBI is managed with a service dog in may cases, schizophrenia, autism, all conditions that there is not long term improvement from. PTSD is the same way you don’t simply get a PTSD service dog emeditly after a traumatic event. In fact Inorder for you to even legally have PTSD your symptoms must prevail 6 MONTHs after the traumatic event. And inorder to receive a service dog form a program you need to provide proof of valid diagnosis as well as a lack of adequate improvement from medications and therapy’s. So tho I understand you wishing improvement on people with PTSD however the reality is that that’s not realistic and can be an often damaging comment to make because yeah we wish that was an option also.
It is extremely difficult to recover from severe PTSD. Unless someone is actually suffering from it themselves it is hard for them to understand. Your body feels like it is in a constant state of fight or flight. You feel like you are losing your mind from triggers that are associated with your trauma. You can also recover with time and get better. You can't just suck it up and deal with it. Her dog enables her to work and live a normal life. I don't have a dog myself but I have learned to adapt and get better with time. It has taken over a decade. She isn't asking people to walk on eggshells around her, instead she is educating on PTSD. This isn't an issue she can just build and get over.
i have a ptsd service dog. i’m 16, and most people wouldn’t know from looking at me that i have a disability, but i had a very traumatic experience about two years back that just sent me over the edge. my dog is aware when i’m sent into an episode, and he also knows some of my triggers, such as being touched suddenly. he’s very good at what he does, and i love seeing representation out there. :)
My dog was trained for PTSD (corrections) to the point he wakes me from night terrors. Downside: he can no longer be in public because dipwad people constantly antagonized him and gave HIM anxiety being around other people. He does great at home and will even alert me to an oncoming panic attack if we're out walking. But the ability to take him into stores and be around the public? Absolutely not. I hate people.
Also if you’re that sensitive to people approaching from behind you shouldn’t be wearing earphones at work that’s a dangerous situation…. I feel bad for this person or people that suffer this type of way
They taught us at school that if an episode does happen that we just need to let the dog do his/her job. Heck the service dog of a classmate noticed me getting an attack and helping me you know how much I said thank you over and over again to the owner? These people deserve to participate in society as much as u do so people need to get off their high horse smh
Holy crap this comments arehorrid. People aren't really taught those kinds of boundaries, nor is it clear to see what kind of service dog this is, so that may lead up the situation. Maybe a leash badge for the part that goes over your shoulder could help if someone is coming from behind. I'm sure someone somewhere makes one.
At my school, my friend has a service dog that helps with cardiac and I have an emotional support animal. Her service dog and my support dog are like good friends with each other-
Without meaning any disrespect but honestly if you can’t be approached by people in a workplace where it might be loud or your wearing headphones and need your immediate attention you should find a job that allows to work from home because this is what happens in most workplaces
Bruh those comments are NOT IT. god fucking forbid people inconvenience themselves for 30 second and offer someone a drink of water so the disabled people can participate in society

Okey but why is nobody grasping that this is an informative video of WHAT TO DO? This is NOT an actual scenario. People are so judgy when this is obviously not that type of video.
Anytime i see a service dog, i take the opportunity to teach my children that they're working and were not to interrupt. Its so instinctual for a child to run up to a dog, i am grateful that people like you have taught me to teach my children these things. 10 years ago i didnt know it was not good to come up to a service dog, i thought doing so was being supportive when in fact standing back and just watching and teaching my kids is the best way to support ❤
@@dflaming1371 she appears to have had headphones in(or hard of hearing/deaf). Kinda hard to get someones attention at distance when noise is being blocked out. But in general more people even without ptsd triggers need to learn not to flippen touch to get attention.
I’ve seen customers at my old work with similar triggers! Someone was triggered into a panic attack and needed to sit on the floor, I asked them if they were okay with me still scanning their items or if the beeping would be too much, then asked other customers to switch to a different checkout lane as I would take a while and would be trying my best to help the customer. (I did break a rule of being on the clock and bought them some bottled water but my manager okayed just that once) I’m glad that person had a service dog! I felt so out of place that I tried not to talk much to let them focus and let their service dog do his task, all I really did was ask if they wanted water and I made sure to speak softly while asking
I'm really ashamed of all the people who refuse to show any compassion or understanding. It's so apparent how little people truly understand about ptsd and other mental health issues. People will act all sympathetic towards veterans w. Ptsd but do not make any real effort to understand the condition and how it effects people. It's almost like people will pretend to be pro mental health until it's inconvenient or not prety.
Wrong. There are at least 10 Options that dont require Touch Karen. Esp. When you know about it. Like step besides Here and wave. She will See the motion
This 100% but also why are we touching out coworkers? Is this normal? No one in my state touches their coworkers, its considered rude af. Unless you onow them like that of course, but here its all about consent.
You have no idea. Neither do I. And that’s the point. You don’t get to decide if the cause of their trauma is bad enough to justify their condition. And from your joke, it clearly wouldn’t matter what it actually is…you’ve already decided it isn’t a good enough reason for you. Gatekeeping someone’s trauma and disability is just disgusting. Be better.
@@CentralasianshepherdAlabaiUSA Exactly. 1. Take at least one ear phone off to be aware. 2. Maybe get a mirror to see if anyone’s approaching 3. Maybe teach your dog to alert if someone’s approaching from sides/behind and ur unaware. It could be a criminal and you wouldn’t even see them coming….
@@Real_G209 stop saying that like it's a cure all solution. Not all people are able to get their work done from home. Many places will not hire mentally challenged individuals even for at home tasks.

As a psychiatrist, people like you are probably the reason why I usually have a lot of trouble making sure my patients know they have full right to live like humans, and not confine themselves to their homes like sole dangerous animal 😅
HEY super genius! get off your ass RIGHT NOW and go to the social security disability office, you'll have to probably wait 3 hours if there are more that 2 people in line so use the bathroom first. Then talk to the lady at the desk and ask her if being afraid of being touched is a disability that you can collect so you never have to work again. Now you wont be allowed to record anything there because they don't want proof on the internet of how cruel they are, but have a friend outside the door video the point where she LAUGHS loudly in your face before falling of the chair and rolls on the floor for 10 minutes laughing and pointing at YOUR DUMB ASS!
🤨 If your "trauma" causes you to have a "Episode" When someone walks up behind you, you just shouldn't be in the workplace. And i'm saying this as a combat veteran with four combat deployments.
As a combat veteran, you should know the reality of trauma and PTSD. You need to reevaluate your life if you’re gonna sob bc someone else has PTSD. You’re vile and judgmental and need to shut it. How do you get to be such a mean person and be okay with it?
It’s crazy how many people in this comments section are giving unsolicited advice and opinions to this service dog handler! She is trying to educate people! Service dog handlers live with their disability, they know what things can mitigate or worsen it. For a lot of people, that mitigation IS their service dog. My service dog allows me to live my life in relative normalcy when my mental illness would otherwise not allow! You would never tell someone with physical disabilities to just stop going outside! That is not a realistic accommodation. A service dog is for many disabled people (not all, of course). Please don’t give advice to service dog handlers unless they explicitly ask for you to do so!
I have to say for someone with PTSD that bad, I have to give her credit for working at a place like that. All the loud noises, people walking everywhere and just so many people in general it can be uncomfortable and so much potential for things to trigger her. I also have to add, what a beautiful dog she has!! Those dogs are usually so well trained and do some amazing things for their owners. What an awesome tool to have in such a wonderful, adorable and loving package that is, her puppy. God bless her, I wish her the best as well as anyone else in a similar situation. Random fact, being a beekeeper is a great way to help with ptsd, specifically PTSD from the military and its been proven. Apparently the note produced by the bees wings when they fly is actually calming and healing to people. Spending time around them and it's very beneficial to sleep near where the hive is as well. Plus when you consume honey made from the area you live not only will it have antioxidants it'll put local allergies in your body and help prevent or lessen your allergies just consume I think at least a teaspoon a day but you might want to double check that because I'm not 100% on how much.
@@picachugirl2036 because who wants to work with a person who freaks out every time talk to them or touch them they need to sit down and have a hour break to get them self together while you have to pick up their work she should find a job that suit her problems
Are you seriously wearing headphones? and blaming someone else for triggering you? Anyone would be startled if they were tapped on the shoulder unknowingly...I don't think this kind of workplace setting is for you. You're around a roller system, wearing headphones without hair tied up, and you're concerned about people taking you on the shoulder?
She’s wearing headphones in this **training video** because in this setting, she’s in a location that requires ear protection. Don’t just assume everyone’s a narcissistic manipulator. You never know what anyone’s going through
I'm a tornado Survivor which happened in late 90s it was an EF5 225 miles an hour wind and we were in a trailer, we survived by the grace of God. It took me several years to get over that, for the first year I would not go outside after dark because I couldn't see the clouds I needed to be able to see the clouds. I had to have two TVs in the living room just so I could steady watch the radar map. I did not know until years later that I had PTSD if i was in a room by myself and you came in and said my name I would scream bloody murder. It was bad for a long time I've since gotten better but, I still get freaked out when we have tornadic weather so I totally get that
Pov: your therapist asked you if a service dog would be something that would help with ptsd, panic and all that, but you were brutally attacked by a dog last week so now its not possible to trust dogs anymore eventhough it was a humans fault. 😞
Exposure therapy my be your first stop and maybe learning how to trust one dog at a time might help you. Service dogs are life changing maybe you can work up to it one day. But I’m so sorry that has happened to you best wishes moving forward! Xx
There's multiple reasons they may be wearing headphones. I wear them because I am highly sensitive to noise and if it's too much/too loud then I have an extreme panic attack. Please don't assume things like this about someone's medical history.
I didn't have a service dog but my coworker scared me by grabbing me and screaming out of nowhere. I jumped so far away I threw myself at a whiteboard and started crying, I was so embarrassed because it was my first week I tried to explain I had a panic attack and everyone looked at me like I was crazy. My amazing therapist has helped my through my CPTSD and I don't get episodes like that anymore and my coworkers now all know they shouldn't scare me as it can still trigger me
I have severe PTSD, and we are supposed learn to cope with it, not let your symptoms go wild and uncontrolled. Ptsd is a livable disorder if you do therapy and learn to let go of the trauma. It still affects you just not as badly as when it first happened. The first 5 years were ROUGH. But you learn to control yourself.
@@godsangel67able I don’t need your compassion or sympathy, compassion and respect are 2 very different things. If you have a severe allergy or fear your welcome to ask for your own accommodation form the business what your not welcome to take away mine because you don’t like it. You can ask to be moved feed or shop elsewhere or have the place cleaned before your use, what you can’t do is tell disabled people not to go out into public because it makes you uncomfortable. Do your part to make your own life more tolerable not make someone else unlivable. That is in basic terminology is what the law says and what legal you are ablated to abide bie wether or not you like it to do other wised is not only DIS respectful but illegal.
@@godsangel67able People with service animals need them to function and often just live in general. So what...someone who has fainting episodes or seizures or is blind just shouldn't be allowed to have their NEEDED service animal because someone who is fully capable of walking away is upert by it? I think other people's lives and safety is more important. Why should this person have to deal with PTSD so you don't have to? They're working and can't leave....YOU can.
I understand the reaction you had. It's no joke and the man didn't have a right on touching you like that when they KNEW they hired someone with PTSD. This was irresponsible behaviour but your dog should've alerted you when someone is near or about to approach you. He/she is a good boy/girl for checking you are ok, and doing their job properly
I will never understand the people's morbid need to touch people they don't know personally, especially at work. It's not complicated to keep your hands in your pockets. The other humans around you are not objects at your disposal to be touched at your good desire, you do not need to touch them.
It’s hardly even touching it’s a light tap on the shoulder for like 0.1 seconds. How else are they gonna get her attention? She had headphones on and the dog didn’t alert that someone was there… are they just gonna stand there for half an hour waiting for her to eventually turn around or is there some other way?
Pup was 8 months old in training for cardiac alert and response this was sponsored video requested bye Amazon the shipping company to show there associates how not to interact with service dog handlers. Watch the full video on my page instead of being a dick.
Even though I don't have a service dog, I wish everyone knew not to do this to me. I will respond really badly when my Fight or Flight reflex kicks in. All Fight.
Sadly, then you are a danger to society if you get violent whenever someone approaches you or you get startled. I understand what youre going thru, as i too have severe anxiety and ptsd. But i know that in order for me to be out in public, i cant be a inconvenience or a danger to people. I make sure to be aware of my surroundings, and position myself in a way that people cannot walk up behind me, and startle me. Yes, we should all have empathy and try our best to accommodate those who have disabilities. But we too have a responsibility to also be considerate and safe. Have you not been arrested for fighting people who startle or approached you? Assult and battery is illegal whether you have a disability or not.
Imagine being so sensitive you need to get down on the floor and be the center of attention cuz some guy tried to get your attention. Furthermore, just ponder the idea of getting a dog, training it, and taking it everywhere you go just so you can get that much more attention You'd never see a guy doing this. Just work something out with your boss or something and sit in your car if you cant handle something
How about not wearing headphones and prevent yourself from being warned of someone coming up from behind. What do you expect people to do when calling out your name doesn't work because you are wearing headphones? The safest thing to do at work is not make yourself def by wearing headphones. What if a fire or other emergency had happened and the only way they can contact you to warn you is by yelling out? But you you cannot hear them because of your headphones.
Lol I come up to her Susie are you gonna be done with that order today AHHHHHHHHHHH and then your on the ground petting a dog for 45 minutes I think it’s best you prob find another more suitable job
A person needs to inform coworkers of triggering things, just having a service dog isn’t enough. You can’t expect people to just intuitively know the depth of your triggers
Newsflash we don't know them all either...many ppl with PTSD have Complex-PTSD, which means the trigger list is never ending, hence the dog is there when it happens. This is a basic sketch, it isn't supposed to be realistic, it is supposed to just demonstrate some things. And no, a traumatized person should never have to get in front of their co-workers and disclose private information and traumatic info, for that matter.
@@cielonehellofaservicedog4648 you are correct others don’t need to know the intimate details and depth but it would be to the persons benefit to inform others, please don’t come up behind me, please approach me from the front, please don’t reach out or touch me to get my attention if I have ear protection on. This isn’t about being nosy it’s about not inflicting trauma on another person that can be avoided with communication. Not every situation can be avoided but many can.
If you can’t handle being tapped on the shoulder when you wear noise canceling headphones and faces away from everyone then please find another job. This is unfair to everyone else trying to work! Your service dog should be trained to alert you when someone approaches in that scenario. That’s the start of the issue and you are the end. Stop requiring everyone to confirm to you when you need to confirm as wel.

You should NEVER approach ANYONE from behind suddenly and make contact to get their attention. Whether they have a service dog or not. You do not know what that person may have gone through recently. I really hate it when someone comes up behind me and touches me, when I do not know who they are. I've had some bad experiences with inappropriate touching from behind. Just don't do it. Approach from the front and SPEAK to the person. And always, always ASK before touching! As my kindergarten teacher used to say, "Keep your hands to yourself." And don't argue with the person or get bent out of shape if the person says, No, I do not want to be touched.
Take your headphones off, pay attention to your surroundings if someone touching you on the shoulder makes you freak out like this... this cant be real, and I am definitely not getting you a glass of water after you act like that, you need to go to time out or something.
everyone's been upset when this is clearly a "what if" scenario, notice how the camera is perfectly aimed? this video isn't a "this is my daily life" it's to inform what the plan is if an episode happens at work.
disabled people have just as much of a right to participate in this society as any able bodied person.
edit: for everyone who still doesn't get it. this video is S T A G E D. it is SCRIPTED! an actual episode is not triggered here! it is literally just to show what to do if one is triggered NOT *how* it might be triggered!! they probably just needed something quick and simple to act as a F A K E trigger!!!
IT IS NOT REAL.
Fact that this needs to be stated is somewhat sad....
I love videos like these that actually help you become a better person in public settings... Knowing not to touch service animals is one thing, but showing the entire inpact the service animal has... Cannot be enough videos of...
Nobody is upset tho

No one should do that to anyone. I'm partially deaf. It totally freaks me out when people come up behind me.This is very helpful for people who don't know.
I have ptsd from being SA from the age of 9 to 12 and the last time someone snuck up on me, I'm not proud of what I did but I ended up putting him in the hospital, again I'm not proud of what I did, my fight or flight response kicked in and I chose fight, I found out what hospital he was at and what room he was in so I was able to apologize and he said it's ok and he understands because he's a veteran with ptsd and he should have known better than to do that, him and I talked and I visited him every day he was in the hospital and even after he was discharged him and I went out for coffee or lunch sometimes, sadly he passed away from cancer and I still visit his grave and pay my respects and to keep the groundskeeper his grave sight clean along with the graves of other fallen soldiers, first responders, and more.
Im sorry for doubting you but this sounds like some grade A bs. Its not that I dont beliebe you, its just how it reads.
@halflifeW283 I am a combat veteran with 15 years in the Marines and 2 tours in Falluja Iraq, and a woman could put me in the hospital because i wouldn't fight back, and if i didn't understand the situation i could try to grab her to calm her down and unknowingly trigger her more by trying to hold her still till she calmed down.
All she would have to do is grab any nearby sharp object and stab me in the throat; lots of sharp objects in a bathroom, by my sink I have a wooden box with a hand made Japanese straight razor, some grooming scissors, hell stabbing someone in the eye with a toothbrush handle will put them in the hospital.
Anything is possible when you are terrified and triggered. Don't assume all men are invincible and that all women are fragile and helpless.
As i said i spent 2 combat tours in some of the most violent fighting in Iraq and all that constant neural stimulus of death or life situations rewired my brain to be numb to shock. But when i got back the opposite took over. I get startled by fireworks or a loud bang and my legs shake and i fall over like a feinting goat or have a full on seizure. I have to take 8 pills a day just to reduce the seizures so i can get through the day and i had my drivers license taken away because I started having seizures while driving. Most vets get the "you don't LOOK disabled" and they get harassed with you look fine why are you pretending to be disabled.
I however don't have that problem much, i have missing body parts and visible scars on my hands, face, and neck (all the places body armor and a helmet don't protect)
And to be 100% honest with you...if i triggered a woman by accident and she tried to kill me, at this point i would hold my hands behind my back look to the sky to expose my neck and let her try her best to kill me with a smile of sweet relief on my face as i hope the darkness takes me for good this time.

Why didn't the dog alert her? How is someone supposed to get her attention with headphones on?
He can’t bark at every person that walks behind her. His job is to work on her if she has an episode.

Edit: like what is the reason behind it obvious not my business but i have seen alot of people with un trained dogs putting a jacket on them and calling them service dogs.
Most service dogs for ptsd in a position where someone is scared of attack are trained to warn if someone approaches from behind for this exact reason.

@@rbdb8953 they have a work station in front of them how else are they supposed to approach?

shocking how many people feel that requiring accommodations makes someone unsuitable for employment because it "inconveniences" others.
Reasonable accommodations. The key word is “reasonable.” That aside, she has both her headphones on in a work environment. I don’t know any workplace that allowed headphones outside of PPE, for one. But if she’s this traumatized, to the point of shutting down and having to sit for who knows how long from just a touch on the shoulder? Why would she put herself in a position where she can’t hear someone approaching, especially if the dog clearly isn’t trained to alert her to incoming strangers? It’s not just an inconvenience, it’s a liability. This is all on top of the way she sort of demanded a glass of water from someone who is presumably a stranger to her- I imagine that rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.

Not to mention that your useful employees won't enjoy working with someone who curls up into a ball when you speak to them. You're just destroying the workflow at multiple points. Disability pay exists for a reason.
I have PTSD and people have not respected this at work, so yes this scenario really does happen in real life. So grateful for the work of service dogs ❤️
That's because a dog can't do shit for PTSD that means there a emotional support animal not a service dog cause they actually have to perform a service not just sit there for you to pet when you have a bad day.

This is the most reasonable comment by far
PTSD, like Autism, is a spectrum and some people suffer GREATLY from it. I can only imagine the trauma she went through to have episodes this bad. She needs empathy and understanding while she works through recovery.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can develop after a very stressful, frightening or distressing event, or after a prolonged traumatic experience. Types of events that can lead to PTSD include: serious accidents. physical or sexual assault.
A disorder in which a person has difficulty recovering after experiencing or witnessing a terrifying event.
The condition may last months or years, with triggers that can bring back memories of the trauma accompanied by intense emotional and physical reactions.
That’s a lot of explaining for saying she’s afraid and has been taught her whole life to play the victim card. She probably blames others for her being whale sized too.
You know how many vets could actually use this dog and it’s training? Instead some entitled twat gets it? And your standing up for it? No wonder this world is FUCKED
Shut up
As someone with PTSD, I don't rely on people being accommodating to me. I feel it's not fair to make them feel guilty for simply doing things like tapping your shoulder. That's why I always position myself as to see where people might come from, and if I can't do that I just stay wary. It's an instinct.
Same!!! IMO this is some BS!!! You react that way to bring tapped yet you're wearing both headphones and not at all aware of your surroundings. Clearly not the job for her🙄
How does an exacerbation of your condition make someone else feel guilty? If it was an accident, shii happens. “I’m sorry, I’ll be more cautious moving forward. Thank you for letting me know” that’s isn’t hard at all and no guilt should come from it. Neither from the person who triggered you without knowing that would set you off, nor from the person with PTSD who just had an attack

Emotional support animals. I'm so glad my son's are not the snowflakes that the rest of this generation seems to be. Either work from home or go one disability. Or toughen up. I had to. And I did. So tired of wiping the butts of the entitled spoiled brats they make up today's generation. Sorry🤷🏼♀️

@@givenfirstnamefamilyfirstn3935 underrated reply fs😂😂😂
Exactly what I came to say! 😉
This gives ptsd a bad rep, we are all certainly not that socially awkward and unavailable to society. I’m proud that I have a ptsd service dog but this is only 1 interpretation of what it’s like to suffer from ptsd and definitely only 1 interpretation of living with it and going to work with a service dog.
A sicurity guy did similar to me he came up really close thankfully he didn't touch me but he then accused my Phyciatric assistance dog in training of being a emotional support animal which made things worse
@Storm Mist yh they should I haven't seen him in the shop since so I'm hoping he got strongly disciplined or fired I emails the shop and they didn't get in contact at all but I message other shops to say thanks for the staff being educated and kind and I mentioned to one of the shops it was so nice the people were cominting on how well she is doing and things like that and I said to them that we had just had a bad access issue with a shop and it really shook us up and them saying that made our day they said they would get in touch with the shop so I think they might be partners or somthing. Lots of shops are very uneducated they should have a yearly chat/reminder about how to act and what to do or not do like health and safety
I think there should be some id for service dogs, something people would carry with them much like ur own id, or a drivers license, that way we can weed out the fake service dogs, and get rid of so many arguments over wether a service dog is real or not

As someone with PTSD, there is no way that employers are going to deal with this. Unfortunately, even though people with PTSD and mental health issues are "technically protected" by federal law, scrutiny and judgment at work from coworkers can be awful. And because essentially every state is an at will employer, they are also protected by firing you for any reason. Employers will just get rid of you and find a reason or make up one. My advice to others dealing with severe trauma. Focus on self care and self respect, find emotional support through animals, groups, AA, whatever it may be. But in the workplace, you have to stay strong. Arguably unfortunate, but it's reality
It is, really unfortunately
This is so true.
I have a PTSD service dog. But when I work she stays home but goes everywhere else with me. .
But work is work my employer doesn't see it fit
For those asking about their employment:
So here's the thing, people need money to survive. And I agree that they should be eligable for Disability, but that sort of thing can takes YEARS to get. I have reactions like this out in any public space and have been denied 2xs already for govt assistance, despite having notes from my psychitrists, my therapists, ect.
For me, I'm fortunate I have friends who are letting me live with them for free, but most peope do not have that level of luxary. Meaning this person may NEED to work to sustain themselves and their animal. While I do HOPE that OP gets a better job, and/or gets approved for disability benefits, sometimes you got to work with what hand you're dealt.
Yep, also health insurance doesn’t pay for everything and isolating from people can make PTSD worse. If anything, they need support from people
I have a dog for PTSD as well that dogs position is so that your dog can let you know if someone is going to approach you that dog did not do that is it still in training? Also you literally have to hold his head to stop him from getting up like 😅
It’s usually never an actual trained dog
@@anoy8937 this pup is but he may have missed an alert
I mean the dogs vest does say "service dog in training" on it
She's acting guys. She makes example videos like this all the time.
I noticed that too instead of comforting her the dog was trying to get away
I have no service dog. But i collapsed after a strabge man touchdd my shoulder to ask me something. It was outside a store and i woke up, because a dog was licking over my face. The owner saw what happened. And did not wanted to touch me, so he let his dog help me.
It was a pure moment of gold for me. And I know a pet will help me, but my financial situation is not giving me the option. So i am happy that others can have the furried comanions they need.
While this is just an example: Keep in mind that ptsd is on a spectrum, similar to autism or downs or other mental disorders, and many people can experience over stimulation, over sensitivity, heightened anxiety... Ect with ptsd. This may explain why some people use or wear earphones or earbuds at work, as long as your job has no issues with it or is willing to accommodate that, it shouldn't be considered an issue. Another thing to add, people with physical disabilities are allowed accommodations because it's a visible disability, this should also extend to all disabilities. Even if the needs or accommodations are different, everyone should have the abilities and opportunities to try to live a productive and somewhat normal life. If you find yourself judging people with disabilities, consider this: People are involved in car accidents, or tragic work incidents every day, people are constantly crippled in one way or another. Throughout the world there is a heightening rate of physical and s*xual assault. You could very well be in that person's place at any time any given day. The world is a dangerous place, regardless of how carefully you live, someone else's stupid decisions could permanently effect you the rest of your life. You don't have to understand, but try to be kind, or, like many people have said throughout the years, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
True and some workplaces require ear protection! Which I believe was what this video was demonstrating. If you work in a noisy environment and need to get someone's attention who has an accommodation of a dog
What happens on the day that she no longer has this dog why I like the idea of these dogs to be with people but people also need to learn to get away from the problem that they need this dog for.
Most psychiatric conditions that are properly treated with a service dog are conditions that will not improve with help from therapy or medication and that is why the service dogs is an appropriate accommodation for a psychiatric condition. For example TBI is managed with a service dog in may cases, schizophrenia, autism, all conditions that there is not long term improvement from. PTSD is the same way you don’t simply get a PTSD service dog emeditly after a traumatic event. In fact Inorder for you to even legally have PTSD your symptoms must prevail 6 MONTHs after the traumatic event. And inorder to receive a service dog form a program you need to provide proof of valid diagnosis as well as a lack of adequate improvement from medications and therapy’s. So tho I understand you wishing improvement on people with PTSD however the reality is that that’s not realistic and can be an often damaging comment to make because yeah we wish that was an option also.
It is extremely difficult to recover from severe PTSD. Unless someone is actually suffering from it themselves it is hard for them to understand. Your body feels like it is in a constant state of fight or flight. You feel like you are losing your mind from triggers that are associated with your trauma. You can also recover with time and get better. You can't just suck it up and deal with it.
Her dog enables her to work and live a normal life. I don't have a dog myself but I have learned to adapt and get better with time. It has taken over a decade. She isn't asking people to walk on eggshells around her, instead she is educating on PTSD. This isn't an issue she can just build and get over.
Your comment made zero sense. Periods?
@@learningservicedogsi dont really think thats what they were asking…
Never walk up behind a person without notifying them first. Never touch them either.
Half of the comment section doesn’t realize what’s going on. It’s an EXAMPLE of what to do. Don’t act dumb people. Be nice.
i have a ptsd service dog. i’m 16, and most people wouldn’t know from looking at me that i have a disability, but i had a very traumatic experience about two years back that just sent me over the edge. my dog is aware when i’m sent into an episode, and he also knows some of my triggers, such as being touched suddenly. he’s very good at what he does, and i love seeing representation out there. :)
My dog was trained for PTSD (corrections) to the point he wakes me from night terrors. Downside: he can no longer be in public because dipwad people constantly antagonized him and gave HIM anxiety being around other people. He does great at home and will even alert me to an oncoming panic attack if we're out walking. But the ability to take him into stores and be around the public? Absolutely not. I hate people.
aww your service dog is so sweet!
After sifting through all the ignorant/insensitive comments, it’s nice to see a comment that is simply sweet and compassionate💛
Also if you’re that sensitive to people approaching from behind you shouldn’t be wearing earphones at work that’s a dangerous situation…. I feel bad for this person or people that suffer this type of way
They taught us at school that if an episode does happen that we just need to let the dog do his/her job. Heck the service dog of a classmate noticed me getting an attack and helping me you know how much I said thank you over and over again to the owner? These people deserve to participate in society as much as u do so people need to get off their high horse smh
Holy crap this comments arehorrid. People aren't really taught those kinds of boundaries, nor is it clear to see what kind of service dog this is, so that may lead up the situation. Maybe a leash badge for the part that goes over your shoulder could help if someone is coming from behind. I'm sure someone somewhere makes one.
If you had a company to run would you want someone like this on your staff? They would never get any work done.
At my school, my friend has a service dog that helps with cardiac and I have an emotional support animal. Her service dog and my support dog are like good friends with each other-
Without meaning any disrespect but honestly if you can’t be approached by people in a workplace where it might be loud or your wearing headphones and need your immediate attention you should find a job that allows to work from home because this is what happens in most workplaces
Pretty much

The dog was like don't worry mum I got u
I thank god everyday, i dont have to go through what people like her have to go through in society
Anytime i see a service dog, i take the opportunity to teach my children that they're working and were not to interrupt. Its so instinctual for a child to run up to a dog, i am grateful that people like you have taught me to teach my children these things. 10 years ago i didnt know it was not good to come up to a service dog, i thought doing so was being supportive when in fact standing back and just watching and teaching my kids is the best way to support ❤
Thank you for doing this, you’re a good mother, and you’re teaching your kids something extremely valuable.
How do you approach from behind without triggering then?
I go over this in this exstended video! ruclips.net/video/rjTrGLuEWug/видео.html

@@dflaming1371 she appears to have had headphones in(or hard of hearing/deaf). Kinda hard to get someones attention at distance when noise is being blocked out.
But in general more people even without ptsd triggers need to learn not to flippen touch to get attention.
@@restinwalken In this case it might be good to try to approach to the side, and tap the surface she was working on maybe?🤔 /gen
Right
I’ve seen customers at my old work with similar triggers! Someone was triggered into a panic attack and needed to sit on the floor, I asked them if they were okay with me still scanning their items or if the beeping would be too much, then asked other customers to switch to a different checkout lane as I would take a while and would be trying my best to help the customer. (I did break a rule of being on the clock and bought them some bottled water but my manager okayed just that once) I’m glad that person had a service dog! I felt so out of place that I tried not to talk much to let them focus and let their service dog do his task, all I really did was ask if they wanted water and I made sure to speak softly while asking
I'm really ashamed of all the people who refuse to show any compassion or understanding. It's so apparent how little people truly understand about ptsd and other mental health issues. People will act all sympathetic towards veterans w. Ptsd but do not make any real effort to understand the condition and how it effects people. It's almost like people will pretend to be pro mental health until it's inconvenient or not prety.
Love how nobody actually noticed she doesn’t put the headphones on until she is having a reaction

You have no idea. Neither do I. And that’s the point. You don’t get to decide if the cause of their trauma is bad enough to justify their condition. And from your joke, it clearly wouldn’t matter what it actually is…you’ve already decided it isn’t a good enough reason for you.

@@shadowrealm6013 What do you mean? Ptsd?
It’s crazy how many people in this comments section are giving unsolicited advice and opinions to this service dog handler! She is trying to educate people! Service dog handlers live with their disability, they know what things can mitigate or worsen it. For a lot of people, that mitigation IS their service dog. My service dog allows me to live my life in relative normalcy when my mental illness would otherwise not allow! You would never tell someone with physical disabilities to just stop going outside! That is not a realistic accommodation. A service dog is for many disabled people (not all, of course). Please don’t give advice to service dog handlers unless they explicitly ask for you to do so!
I have to say for someone with PTSD that bad, I have to give her credit for working at a place like that. All the loud noises, people walking everywhere and just so many people in general it can be uncomfortable and so much potential for things to trigger her.
I also have to add, what a beautiful dog she has!! Those dogs are usually so well trained and do some amazing things for their owners. What an awesome tool to have in such a wonderful, adorable and loving package that is, her puppy. God bless her, I wish her the best as well as anyone else in a similar situation.
Random fact, being a beekeeper is a great way to help with ptsd, specifically PTSD from the military and its been proven. Apparently the note produced by the bees wings when they fly is actually calming and healing to people. Spending time around them and it's very beneficial to sleep near where the hive is as well. Plus when you consume honey made from the area you live not only will it have antioxidants it'll put local allergies in your body and help prevent or lessen your allergies just consume I think at least a teaspoon a day but you might want to double check that because I'm not 100% on how much.

Are you seriously wearing headphones? and blaming someone else for triggering you?

You're around a roller system, wearing headphones without hair tied up, and you're concerned about people taking you on the shoulder?
She’s wearing headphones in this **training video** because in this setting, she’s in a location that requires ear protection. Don’t just assume everyone’s a narcissistic manipulator. You never know what anyone’s going through
I have the same reaction when it’s Monday.
I'm a tornado Survivor which happened in late 90s it was an EF5 225 miles an hour wind and we were in a trailer, we survived by the grace of God. It took me several years to get over that, for the first year I would not go outside after dark because I couldn't see the clouds I needed to be able to see the clouds. I had to have two TVs in the living room just so I could steady watch the radar map. I did not know until years later that I had PTSD if i was in a room by myself and you came in and said my name I would scream bloody murder. It was bad for a long time I've since gotten better but, I still get freaked out when we have tornadic weather so I totally get that
The way the dog looked at that man at the end lol

Pov: your therapist asked you if a service dog would be something that would help with ptsd, panic and all that, but you were brutally attacked by a dog last week so now its not possible to trust dogs anymore eventhough it was a humans fault. 😞
Exposure therapy my be your first stop and maybe learning how to trust one dog at a time might help you. Service dogs are life changing maybe you can work up to it one day. But I’m so sorry that has happened to you best wishes moving forward! Xx
@@learningservicedogs thats so sweet, thank you! Wishing u all the best ♥️🍀
Call me crazy but you might hear the approach if you’re not wearing headphones.
There's multiple reasons they may be wearing headphones. I wear them because I am highly sensitive to noise and if it's too much/too loud then I have an extreme panic attack. Please don't assume things like this about someone's medical history.
I didn't have a service dog but my coworker scared me by grabbing me and screaming out of nowhere. I jumped so far away I threw myself at a whiteboard and started crying, I was so embarrassed because it was my first week I tried to explain I had a panic attack and everyone looked at me like I was crazy. My amazing therapist has helped my through my CPTSD and I don't get episodes like that anymore and my coworkers now all know they shouldn't scare me as it can still trigger me
That pup looked back like.. "you better leave my momma alone"
I have severe PTSD, and we are supposed learn to cope with it, not let your symptoms go wild and uncontrolled. Ptsd is a livable disorder if you do therapy and learn to let go of the trauma. It still affects you just not as badly as when it first happened. The first 5 years were ROUGH. But you learn to control yourself.
Having a service dog can be a good coping mechanism for people. Everyone heals differently
Dogs trigger my PTSD but they're allowed in public spaces. What about people like me?
Walk away from them and continue on with your life.

@@learningservicedogs you talk about respect but your reply to her comment was disrespectful. People in glass houses...
I understand the reaction you had. It's no joke and the man didn't have a right on touching you like that when they KNEW they hired someone with PTSD. This was irresponsible behaviour but your dog should've alerted you when someone is near or about to approach you. He/she is a good boy/girl for checking you are ok, and doing their job properly
I will never understand the people's morbid need to touch people they don't know personally, especially at work. It's not complicated to keep your hands in your pockets. The other humans around you are not objects at your disposal to be touched at your good desire, you do not need to touch them.
Sometimes work is loud sometimes we have headphones in, got to tap you or throw something at you
It’s hardly even touching it’s a light tap on the shoulder for like 0.1 seconds. How else are they gonna get her attention? She had headphones on and the dog didn’t alert that someone was there… are they just gonna stand there for half an hour waiting for her to eventually turn around or is there some other way?

Even though I don't have a service dog, I wish everyone knew not to do this to me. I will respond really badly when my Fight or Flight reflex kicks in. All Fight.
Sadly, then you are a danger to society if you get violent whenever someone approaches you or you get startled. I understand what youre going thru, as i too have severe anxiety and ptsd. But i know that in order for me to be out in public, i cant be a inconvenience or a danger to people. I make sure to be aware of my surroundings, and position myself in a way that people cannot walk up behind me, and startle me. Yes, we should all have empathy and try our best to accommodate those who have disabilities. But we too have a responsibility to also be considerate and safe. Have you not been arrested for fighting people who startle or approached you? Assult and battery is illegal whether you have a disability or not.
@@cattfishingshut up
Imagine being so sensitive you need to get down on the floor and be the center of attention cuz some guy tried to get your attention. Furthermore, just ponder the idea of getting a dog, training it, and taking it everywhere you go just so you can get that much more attention
You'd never see a guy doing this. Just work something out with your boss or something and sit in your car if you cant handle something
How about not wearing headphones and prevent yourself from being warned of someone coming up from behind. What do you expect people to do when calling out your name doesn't work because you are wearing headphones? The safest thing to do at work is not make yourself def by wearing headphones. What if a fire or other emergency had happened and the only way they can contact you to warn you is by yelling out? But you you cannot hear them because of your headphones.
This is very helpful to know thank you!

A person needs to inform coworkers of triggering things, just having a service dog isn’t enough. You can’t expect people to just intuitively know the depth of your triggers
Newsflash we don't know them all either...many ppl with PTSD have Complex-PTSD, which means the trigger list is never ending, hence the dog is there when it happens. This is a basic sketch, it isn't supposed to be realistic, it is supposed to just demonstrate some things. And no, a traumatized person should never have to get in front of their co-workers and disclose private information and traumatic info, for that matter.
@@cielonehellofaservicedog4648 you are correct others don’t need to know the intimate details and depth but it would be to the persons benefit to inform others, please don’t come up behind me, please approach me from the front, please don’t reach out or touch me to get my attention if I have ear protection on. This isn’t about being nosy it’s about not inflicting trauma on another person that can be avoided with communication. Not every situation can be avoided but many can.
Start looking for a new employee 😂😂😂
if ur that sensitive you shouldnt be working in the first place
Don’t wear head phones then, how else are people supposed to get your attention
If you can’t handle being tapped on the shoulder when you wear noise canceling headphones and faces away from everyone then please find another job. This is unfair to everyone else trying to work! Your service dog should be trained to alert you when someone approaches in that scenario. That’s the start of the issue and you are the end. Stop requiring everyone to confirm to you when you need to confirm as wel.
Looks like a pain to work with 😅
Well, people put up with your dumb a$$…so this would be a walk in the park.😑
no
Beautiful dog 😍
