Gabrielle Union
After surviving a violent sexual assault, Gabrielle Union was diagnosed with PTSD at 19 years old. On her book tour, the support from fans took an emotional toll on her. “I didn’t realize how big the need was for so many people to just get it out, to have someone look them in the eye and say, ‘I believe you.’ I cried a lot.
I Skyped a lot with my life coach, because the horrors that I was taking in triggered my PTSD,” she told Redbook in 2018. “But I feel a responsibility to offer that sense of safety and support. And luckily I have the means to help myself at the end of the night.”
