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.

Default Basic Meditation for Emotions
This is the first step in using meditation to help with controlling emotions.

All you have to do is observe the emotion.

For example:

You feel angry. Observe that you are angry.

Do not judge it (as in, I shouldn't feel this way or why do I feel this way, or I should feel this way.) Do not try to do something with it (don't try to stop feeling that way or release the emotion or escape from it.) Do not try to figure out why you are feeling that way (don't look for the reasons, it doesn't matter why you are mad, even if it's from a trigger, flashback etc..)

Now that you have observed your feeling, Observe where it's affecting your body.

For example:

Your angry. Does this make your shoulders tense? Are you shaking? Do you clench your teeth? Etc..

Again do not try to do anything about it. Just OBSERVE It.

This will help you to become aware of both your emotions and how it affects your body.
