This solo episode discusses what PTSD really is, common symptoms and some of my own personal experience.  The definition of PTSD and general description along with symptoms is based around Lisa Najavitz descriptions in her book Seeking Saftey mixed in with my own experience.  The purpose of this discussion is to help those with PTSD recognize the symptoms that are so very common to others who are also experiencing PTSD so we understand the process better as well as to help others understand and better to relate to us.  If you're experiencing PTSD, it is extremely beneficial to see a counselor or join a support group of others who can work through this with you.
