TONIGHT’s Topic: “PTSD & Relationships!”
The symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can make any relationship difficult. It is hard for many people with PTSD to relate to other people in a healthy way when they have problems with trust, closeness, and other important components of relationships. However, social support can help those with PTSD, and professional treatment can guide them toward healthier relationships.
Many of the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can interfere with having a healthy relationship. The four types of symptoms include having flashbacks or nightmares about the trauma, staying away from situations associated with the trauma, feeling nervous or irritable, and having increased negative thoughts and feelings.
These symptom types can exhibit themselves in a variety of ways. For instance, a sound or experience might suddenly trigger a flashback, and the person with PTSD could stop wanting to spend time with loved ones, feel down a lot, have trouble trusting people, avoid certain places, and suddenly become angry.
These kinds of reactions can make relationships more difficult on a daily basis.
However, relationships can help people with their PTSD symptoms, in addition to the on-going support and guidance of guidance of professional treatment.
Tune in TONIGHT with the “Colonel” as we discuss “PTSD & Relationships!”

Thank you my friend COL Mikel J. Burroughs for making us aware that you will be hosting the Saturday’s Warriors for Life (WFL) Online Peer Support Group, 6 March 2021 where “Sharing is Caring!”
The topic of “PTSD & Relationships!” will no doubt resonate with many. Since there is a range of PTSD symptoms from mild and intermittent to acute and near constant, I hope you focus will benefit most who participate

Unraveling PTSD and its effects can be as intricate as an archeological excavation.

Amen brother Steve, I don't think about killing people anymore, but just in case, I'm always ready! ;)
