Whatever you may have heard about PTSD, your past does not have to haunt your future.

Believe that you can get better and not what you have heard, because people with post traumatic stress are: 

  • Not weak – their brains have been altered by trauma memory.
  • Not violent or crazy – they are alert to danger.
  • Not untreatable – traumatic memories can be defused.
  • Not taking funding away from others – they are entitled to leave the war behind.
  • Not lying or malingering – PTSD patterns are easily identified

PTSD recovery is…

  • Pursuing skills to make the past a dim memory – you are NOT less important than anyone else
  • Living without fear of what could happen next – you are NOT damaged goods
  • Learning to master haunting memories – you are NOT stuck forever.

All the nuts and bolts about PTSD: What it is, what it isn’t, and how to leave the war behind us.
