Ptsd Self

This book is critically relevant to health workers and others who may develop PTSD because of extreme stress. In the 1970s, I experienced deep traumas while running a hospital in the Central African bush where I had to ration care because of severe shortages of medicines - a situation very similar to the decisions faced by physicians, nurses and EMTs in our overburdened health systems. During my long career I had repetitive exposure to traumas in places like Afghanistan during the war, Haiti after the earthquake, and Liberia during the Ebola crisis.

Get real about handling PTSD without abusing drugs, alcohol, or prescription meds! Do you ever feel stuck, as if you can’t move past the traumatic experience that took a piece of your life away? You’ve become so good at the “cover-up” that you’ve managed to somehow forget who you really are or what makes you tick. You need a path that leads you from feeling lost and discouraged back to a place where you feel alive again. You already know you need to change your stream of thought from, “What’s wrong with life?” to, “What’s great?”.

Within the layers of our being, like the layers of an onion, trauma gets stored. Many people go about their life with suppressed, unhealed trauma. Take a dive through a journey about how to heal and becoming you through trauma. Brittany has written articles for the Better Because Project, Made of Millions Foundation, and The Rochester Voice.

If you're struggling with feelings of anxiety, depression, or insecurities, then Cognitive Behavioral Therapy may be the answer for you. Mindfulness is a skill that anyone can attain. CBT has been used to combat many conditions and disorders, and give the person a greater degree of control over their emotions and greater awareness of themselves and their issues.
