PTSD is definately seperate for me from the event, as one event doesn't compose my PTSD, multiple events over multiple locations, spanning years comprise my PTSD. I see PTSD as the result of the traumatic events, not actually intertwined within the event itself.
Its not a matter of coming to terms with the event/s to come to terms with PTSD, because once you have PTSD, PTSD is much more than the original traumas that caused it. Coming to terms with the past is only a part of beating PTSD. |
