In this episode we do a deep dive into the somewhat mysterious and sometimes controversial topic of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. We talk about the actual diagnostic criteria, the standards used to make this diagnosis, and the options available for treatment. We also talk about what PTSD is NOT - and how to tell the difference between normal, healthy trauma response and a disordered pattern of coping with a trauma that might lead to actual PTSD. -Trigger Warning: - In this episode we talk frankly and openly about traumatic experiences, including sexual assault, rape, and combat.
