Just a quick reply to that A, to say that keep in mind PTSD, though a vicious reality, is a label. I think it is safe to assume that if we are on planet Earth that we have past traumas that may or may not be negativley affecting our present lives - whether we are aware of it or not.

For our purposes, the PTSD cases can be judged to be the "worse" ones, the more obvious ones. But I know of a case who developed panic attacks at the end of a Uni course. The root of his problem was traced to a traumatic incident in his childhood wich was specifically addressed and the attacks stopped. So I mean to go after traumatic experiences and sort them out, as each one gotten rid of as affecting us now makes us more free and able to that degree. So as I get clients I will be less interested in any offical diagnoses and more interested in gently and efficiently healing each trauma I find.
