Great thread, Upstream!

I will answer this in terms of the life and experiences that I have had, and what I have come to make of these.

Peace; to begin with they will come in the samllest of moments, a second of serenity, a minute of tranquility, an hour of calmness, a day of stillness, a week of placidity as if a lull in a storm has occurred. Peace is a state of mind, it is something we have to practice and just as Nic above pointed out it is something that we are all striving for irrespective of PTSD. Peace is not about getting away from, being free of, it is about acceptance of the way things are. We live in a world of chaos yet we set boundaries and conditions on life events. I have come to feel that it is our need to excerpt control and order over our worlds' that causes us to feel less peaceful.

I am finding peace as I tap into this mind set!
