Brandenburg trauma counseling for GDR victims faces high demand
Trauma counseling services for victims of the GDR dictatorship in Brandenburg are facing significant demand, with most available appointments fully booked. The program, which serves former political opponents and their relatives, has resulted in the creation of a waiting list due to the high volume of requests.
Counselor Petra Morawe reports that many victims suffer from long-term psychological issues resulting from a combination of repressive state measures. These include political imprisonment, placement in re-education homes, defamation, and professional persecution. Such experiences often lead to post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, sleep disturbances, and a profound loss of trust in authorities and fellow citizens.
