Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

Yeah - I think touch is an important component. The last thing I find I need during times of triggering is to be questioned or challlenged. The touch has a far quicker settling effect. I think it's knowing that someone actually cares enough to sit with you.

Hi Jake, welcome to the forum. I must agree, I believe just physical touch has a far feeling therapeudic effect with a trauma sufferer. Hell, women knew this without PTSD, being that they just feel at ease, comfort and safe by being touched from someone they feel secure and at peace with, sexual or not. Touch is a huge balance towards the human soul I believe.
