Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Self Care In USA.
I looked out over the crowd in USA, a mixture of both veterans and nonmilitary personnel. I asked, What About Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Self Care? The room was quiet. They had come to learn about Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in others, particularly in people who had experienced sexual trauma. They didn’t think they would come to USA and hear something on the topic of Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Self Care.
I explained to them that you cannot care for people in USA with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and not practice Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Self Care. If you are not going to be good to you, who is?
Treat yourself like someone you love.
I think you would find my book ‘#dealwithit- living well with PTSD’ helpful. I talk about what I did to help graduate beyond just being a ‘survivor’ of PTSD and trauma; what works; what doesn’t; what I screwed up. About overcoming adversity and mental illness.
