Trauma leading to PTSD is often the result of the destruction of our reality. A confrontation with Chaos results in our trust and understanding of the laws of nature becoming unmoored from our perceptions. The earth falls from beneath our feet. We are left floating in a void of the unknown. Who can we trust? How do we know what's real? Who are we? And how do we regain our ability to "be" again? 

Once known as "Shell Shock" WebMD defines Posttraumatic stress disorder as a "serious condition that can develop after a person has experienced or witnessed a traumatic or terrifying event in which there was serious physical harm or threat. PTSD is a lasting consequence of traumatic ordeals that cause intense fear, helplessness, or horror. Examples of things that can bring on PTSD include sexual or physical assault, the unexpected death of a loved one, an accident, war, or natural disaster. Families of victims can develop PTSD, as can emergency personnel and rescue workers."

The PTSD Bunny also includes elements to capture certain aspects of C-PTSD. But due to the complex nature of C-PTSD and the resulting range of projection mechanisms, we've designed an additional line of Mental Health Plushes related to C-PTSD and Childhood Trauma. 

PTSD Bunny Set Includes: 

• PTSD Bunny
  
• Non-removable cuffs
• Tiny Trauma Rabbit
• Two interchangeable emotion masks
• Sturdy Tote Bag

PTSD Bunny measures approx 55cm tall (ears to toes)

True expression hidden under the mask

Chains for being chained to your past

IMPORTANT NOTE Regarding the design of our mental health-related Plushie Dreadfuls. We take the topics of mental health and mental health awareness seriously. That's why our design team only creates plushies related to mental health issues with which they have direct experience. In cases where our team does not have direct experience, we assemble an external team of experts to help guide our creative process. In addition, we use Crowd Design to engage a wide range of voices via platforms like Instagram and Facebook. We gather and respond to feedback from our audience - many of whom have direct experience with the mental health issues we're exploring. And while we strive to represent as many aspects of a particular mental health issue as possible while avoiding stereotypical symptoms, we hope you understand that plush toys as an artistic medium do limit the full expression of a particular issue to those things that can be crafted in fabric and stitching.
