I personally believe that the PTSD begins during the adrenolin rush of the trauma, when the brain and body are just trying to survive. Adrenolin or some other brain chemical overload.
Counseling even one hour after that trauma can reduce PTSD, but not eliminate it or prevent it. |
I think the counseling you are talking about is commonly referred to as "debriefing". I feel that if debriefed properly one's chances of having PTSD is a lot less than without it.
