Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and VA

(PTSD) Post Traumatic Stress Disorder will continue to be a focus with returning military service personnel. Post traumatic stress disorder is a very tricky disease process. The individual has been traumatized. The trauma is recorded as energy and has residence in the persons being. This can be felt as a fear that constantly exists and has no known origin. Despite the mind persistently seeking the actual cause of the fear, it is not ever found. Because the cause of the fear cannot be found , the individual will begin to see things in the physical world as causing the fear. This is often called self treatment or taking action to control the fear. Actions can include alcohol abuse, increased or decreased food intake, drug use to name a few. The actions that an individual takes to help control the fear are actually symptoms of the disease process. The trauma has been recorded as energy in the individuals being and this energetic presence is constantly seeking expression. When the individual attempts to relax and fall asleep is an opportune time for the trauma recorded as energy to make itself known to the mind as uncomfortable unwanted thoughts. Initially alcohol may provide enough of a sedative to allow the person to experience some much needed sleep, rest.

A big part of treating an individual who has been traumatized is teaching them about how the disease process works. Therapists believe that if an individual can understand how the trauma is effecting them, the person can begin to have more control over their life. One can begin to understand that Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is not a disease where the person makes a visit to a provider and leaves well, cured, or healed. The person walks out the door and the trauma recorded as energy goes right along with them.
