I would also add in the during: experiencing distrust, stigma, disbelief; over-helpful (this can be a negative if pain of coming out of a possessive abusive situation); over-reaction of others e.g. jumping back with exaggerated hands in the air when you say “can’t shake hands because it’s too painful” instead of “nice to meet you” lovely to see you again” or a comment (if person knows the physical pain situation) re “how are you doing?” etc cheers Suzanne

In my current WIP, a character is badly burned. Your post will help me with this part of the work.
