Do you realise, that when you said your a black belt, that is what is actually saving you now? The reason I say that, as I am one also from years ago when I used to train hard, is that martial arts is about the mind, and whether you know that at the time or not, that is exactly what its about. It is to build mental toughness, one's ability to process logically, to see past just pain and to the options. I think that has a lot to do with why your doing so well actually, and why you will recover quite quickly compared to others who are more battered without that experience. I personally believe my martial arts training has helped me immensely to deal with my trauma, and help me learn management of PTSD itself.
