That is very true Anthony, and well put. Anything IMHO other than just the persons true determination to work on the long term healing by therapy, meds (if they help) and facing the trauma head on, mostly facing things and learning new ways to deal with them are the best. I know for myself even though only not quite a year into this, meds just do not have enough of a benefit to continue with them, so I went this route. Long term use of Brody porbably not but right now the comfort of having him with me and to provide the assistance that he does makes my stressing going out in public ALONE alot less. For me looking into the future and knowing where I will be is useless, I just take this one day at a time, just like 12 step program. I am determined to have a life again. So yes what you stated is a very valid point.
