There are many ways to help with trauma, including:
- Self-care: Try to maintain a routine for sleep, exercise, and meals. Eat a healthy diet, drink enough water, and get enough sleep.
- Relaxation: Try relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, muscle relaxation exercises, yoga, stretching, swimming, or listening to quiet music.
- Social support: Spend time with supportive friends and family. If you're ready, you can talk to them about your feelings and experience.
- Physical activity: Exercise can help reduce stress chemicals, muscle tension, and improve sleep.
- Get back to routine: Try to do the things you normally do, even if you don't feel like it.
- Get involved: Volunteering can help create a sense of meaning.
- Seek professional help: If symptoms persist, you can talk with a mental health professional.
- Validate your experience: What you've experienced is real and hurtful, but it's a normal response to abnormal experiences.
- Respect boundaries: If you're helping someone else, respect their privacy and boundaries.

Governmental actors violate due process when they frustrate the fairness of proceedings, such as when a prosecutor fails to disclose evidence to a criminal defendant that suggests they may be innocent of the crime, or when a judge is biased against a criminal defendant or a party in a civil action.
