“Do PTSD symptoms ever really go away?” was a question asked on "Paging Dr. Gupta": a new feature of CNNhealth.com, where their team of expert doctors answer readers’ questions."
Below is the comment I left ...
" ... YES – YES – YES – PTSD can be helped a great deal and often completely cured! And let’s just make a small change to those letters ….
“‘PTSD = Post Traumatic Stress Disorder’ should be changed to ‘PTSR = Post Traumatic Stress Response’ because your symptoms are a normal response to what happened to you (in abnormal circumstances) and they are NOT a ‘disorder’!”
– Peter Levine, Ph.D.
I recommend EVERYONE, who has or presently experiences any symptoms due to trauma, to look into SE (SOMATIC EXPERIENCING) or STR (SOMATIC TRAUMA RESOLUTION). There are also 2 books I HIGHLY recommend: “Beyond the trauma vortex into the healing vortex – a guide for you” by Gina Ross and if your trauma is car related, please read “Crash Course” by Diane Poole-Heller & Larry Heller.
TRAUMA/PTSD is not about the intensity of the event experienced, but rather how intensely the shock/trauma experience(d) affected your nervous system!
All your body is trying to do is complete an interrupted impulse which happened when you were unable to fight or flight and probably froze in the event because the circumstance became too much to handle at that time and so you had to disassociate somehow in order to survive what happened to you.
Look for SE (Somatic Experiencing) practitioners or STR (Somatic Trauma Resolution) practitioners …. and start healing! Don’t give up on your search for healing …. you don’t have to stay stuck with the symptoms!!!! And like Carl Jung said … find the “right” practitioner for YOU ... "
