How can Heart Mom use therapeutic techniques to overcome PTSD and CTSD? What is CTSD anyway? What is mindfulness and how can it help someone suffering from traumatic events?

Djinni Yancey is the mother of 3 young adult children. Lauren is 23, Brianna is 21, and Isaac is 19. Isaac is a Heart Warrior who was born with a single ventricle heart. In addition to his congenital heart defect, he has other medical issues. 

Djinni is a US Navy veteran, a recent college graduate (she graduated in Dec. 2020), and she works full-time in PR for the Federal Government. 

Officially diagnosed with PTSD (or post-traumatic stress disorder) in 2018 after several panic attacks and mental breakdowns. After several months of therapy, Djinni’s therapist suggested she attend a mindfulness group. Fearful of the group at first, it took a lot of encouragement and motivation for her to go, but she has learned that mindfulness is really helpful.

Today Djinni and I will be discussing Djinni’s history as a Heart Mom, what PTSD and CTSD are, what mindfulness is, and how mindfulness might help other Heart Moms or Heart Parents.
