Trying to explain PTSD to other people was one of the most difficult challenges in my recovery journey.

I found it difficult to explain to those I was closest to, especially right after I was diagnosed in 2006. (Curious if your trauma symptoms are related to PTSD? Take this FREE PTSD Quiz to find out!)

That is why I especially love these two resources – video and booklet! Excellent!

Explain PTSD With a Video

This video is great. The only problem is that it looks like there’s nothing here except the play button (lol). Press play and it will make sense.

Or Explain PTSD With a Booklet

Understanding PTSD and PTSD Treatment is a great resource for covering all kinds of basic information about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, including:

Definitions
Causes
Symptoms
Screening and Diagnosis
Treatment

Ready to Learn More? Check Out PTSD Basics

PTSD Basics grew out of my deep anger about how trauma survivors are treated, especially when they have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

There’s no official protocol for treatment and information after a diagnosis, so I made one.

PTSD Basics is a series of 8 sessions, offered virtually on Zoom and in-person (in Milwaukie, Oregon). These sessions provide valuable information and wisdom from a trauma survivor and trauma recovery coach who has overcome PTSD symptoms (this is an excellent pre-requisite for PTSD Remediation).

These sessions are offered one-on-one, but if you’ve got friends you want to work with in this area, let’s talk, I’m open to and certified for small group work.
