Not Everyone With PTSD Was a Soldier

January 11, 2018 by Schawn Austin Leave a Comment

War is not a requirement of PTSD. Many people who struggle with PTSD have never been in the military nor have they been in a war. PTSD can develop anytime a person feels so endangered or scared that it overwhelms their brains ability to process the events (check out this blog post about the criteria for PTSD: https://healinghistorycounseling.com/know-ptsd-8-parts-pts…/). When this occurs, PTSD can develop. People's minds continue to work to process those events that are stuck unprocessed. For many people this means that over time they are able to process the event. But for some, about 20% of people who experience trauma that could lead to PTSD, time does not lead to change. Their minds continue to try to resolve the memories but cannot. This results in PTSD. People struggling with PTSD can heal. Often it helps to work with a person trained to help heal trauma and knowledgeable about PTSD.
