Grace Segers: Reporters Like Me Who Covered January 6th Riot Is ‘Suffering from PTSD’

EXCERPT:

STELTER: “Grace, you wrote for Poynter at the end of January last year, you said, 'sometimes I'm fine. Sometimes I want to sob for hours. Sometimes I just want to sleep.' So, that sounds to me like trauma. That sounds like PTSD. Do you feel like you still experience that?"

SEGERS: "I do think so to a certain extent. There are definitely still reactions that I feel and I go to the Capitol on an almost daily basis and every time that I go to the Capitol, I think about that experience that I had on January 6th. And not only that I had, but that my colleagues had, my fellow reporters, lawmakers, Capitol police, just staffers. And it can be difficult sometimes to come to terms with that, and as time goes on, it gets a bit easier to move forward from it. But I do feel as if it is something that's always going to stay with me, no matter how long it is."
