RP Members and Connection here is a great blog written by a wonderful friend of Sponsor a Vet Life (SAVL) SGT Jeff Decker! He is writing great things and working hard to help our fellow brothers and sisters that are suffering from PTSD.
Many veterans struggle to transition out of the military. One major reason has to do with experiencing PTSD triggers. Fortunately, PTSD triggers can be overcome by reconfiguring your beliefs.
Will you transition successfully or not? The choice really is yours so long as you put in the hard yards to make success happen.
At the root of your PTSD triggers are deep-set beliefs. Beliefs are feelings of certainty about what specific things mean. Beliefs are a vital part to us feeling good and acting appropriately because they influence how we think and act. One of the hardest things returning veterans have to do is reconfigure their battlefield beliefs to suit the civilian environment.
The idea of beliefs is a difficult concept to understand. To simplify, think of a belief as a tabletop. In order for that belief to stand up and make sense, it needs legs to support it. A belief must have supporting references from your past to back it up.

Thanks for sharing COL Mikel J. Burroughs I responded to SGT Jeff Decker's nearly identical post with the following which makes sense to add here.
To be honest I was surprised to transition paired with recovery from PTSD.
Resetting your "beliefs" is a tall order. The "ten examples of useful beliefs" may well be helpful to adjust your mind to "a positive and productive frame instantly:"
1.I am grateful. Thousands fought and didn’t come home. Every day I spend alive is a gift.
2.I can find happiness and joy in little things...a cold beer...a good laugh...a pretty face.
3.I’ve got my friends and families six and help them more than they expect.
4.My past experiences do not equal my future experiences.
5.I am in control of my life and am responsible for its success.
6.I can always find a way to succeed by working hard and persevering.
7.If I can’t do something, I can learn to do it. If I can learn, then I can do anything.
8.If I struggle with something, I am about to break through a new barrier for the first time. Therefore, struggling is a sign of growth.
9.The difference between losers and winners is that the losers fail and quit while the winners fail, learn, and try again! There are no failures, only outcomes. Fail better!!
10.Everything happens for a reason and a purpose that serves me. Oftentimes, I just can’t see the upside immediately.
Kudos to both of you COL Mikel J. Burroughs and SGT Jeff Decker
