Calm, private discussion
Fear and worry are heard without judgement.
Since what you saw, you jump at every sound, and they say a shadow is on you
There was an accident on site, or an explosion in the distance, or something on the road that you will not describe. Since then sleep brings it back. A slammed door sends your heart racing. You avoid that stretch of road. A workmate says a shadow has attached itself to you and that you need to be read over. You only know you are no longer the man who arrived.

Fear and worry are heard without judgement.
We separate genuine concerns from ordinary stress or health.
Guidance on prayer and protection from anywhere.
Only protective and peaceful remedies are advised.
A crane operator sees a colleague badly hurt. For months afterwards he has nightmares, startles easily and feels numb with his family on the phone. His mother, hearing him, is sure something has taken hold of him. He begins to believe it.
After a frightening or horrifying event, many people have nightmares, flashbacks, jumpiness, avoidance and a sense of being changed. For most it eases in weeks. When it persists it is called post-traumatic stress, a recognised and treatable condition. Across the world it has been understood as a spirit or shadow clinging to the person, because that is how it feels.
A consultation gives you a safe place to say as much or as little as you wish. Prayer and recitation can calm the body. We do not treat trauma and do not believe anything has attached to you. We will encourage you to seek proper help.
Nightmares, startle, avoidance, numbness. A known pattern.
The mind's alarm staying switched on after danger has passed.
Talking, routine, sleep, and treatment where available.
You need not describe the event itself. The main service page gives the session format.
How the consultation worksSilence keeps it fresh. One trusted listener makes a difference.
They worsen it over time. Ask a doctor for safer help.
Tell someone immediately and see a doctor.
Tell one person you trust what has been happening since: the dreams, the jumpiness. You do not have to recount what you saw. Ask your company's medical officer or a doctor about it; many employers in such settings have support for exactly this.
Keep a steady routine. Exercise, eat, go to bed at a set hour, limit caffeine. When a memory surges, press your feet into the floor, name five things you can see, and breathe out slowly. A familiar prayer or verses recited with the breath are an old and effective way of steadying the body. Tell your mother it is the shock of what you saw and that you are getting help. On leave, see a doctor at home too.
The session is online and can be joined from Iraq when you have privacy. We go at your pace. Birth details are optional.
No. What you describe is how people react to trauma, and it can be treated.
For most people it eases, especially with support. Treatment helps where it persists.
A prayer may comfort you and your family. Please also see a doctor.
No. It happens to the strongest people after such events.
