The Basics
Welcome to my website! I am hopeful that you will find helpful information and feel free to contact me with comments and questions regarding my new book: "Navigating PTSD: A Road to Recovery".
PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) is a serious and real mental and physical reaction to experiencing trauma. Sometimes a person can experience trauma and the PTSD reactions won't surface until years later, or the symptoms can occur immediately after the PTSD causing event. Everyone is different. Everyone handles extreme stress differently.
The two constants that accompany PTSD is that, first, the symptoms are very real. The second is that getting the appropriate help is necessary to learn coping mechanisms and understand how to live happily with this disorder. It can be done.
I am living proof that multiple PTSD events from my childhood through adulthood effected my outlook on life, people, events, etc. I looked at the world with fear. After intense PTSD counseling, I have taken control of my life. I am no longer a victim, but a VICTOR. I have identified the PTSD events that occurred in my life, acknowledged my symptoms, and worked hard to develop coping mechanisms to assist me when something triggers my symptoms.
Is it work to get better? YES! Is the work worth it? ABSOLUTELY!
It is perfectly NORMAL to develop and experience PTSD after trauma. There are numerous agencies, therapists, doctors, support groups, clergy, family and friends who are available to help those who reach out. Do not suffer silently and needlessly. If you need help, just ask. You may be surprised at the positive response you receive.
Blessings and Love,
