Do you suffer from PTSD?

PTSD, or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, is an emotional disorder that results from having experienced a traumatic event, usually one that posed a serious physical or psychological threat to the person.

More women than we realize are suffering from PTSD.

These women may have suffered physical or psychological abuse as children or after marriage, a difficult birth or miscarriage, or traumas related to their children.

But they don't talk about it.

Because to talk about abuse invites others to comment or further criticize them. They stand a good chance of feeling shamed rather than supported.

So they suffer in silence.

The PTSD symptoms may recur whenever the woman feels threatened. This threat might appear to someone else as mild criticism but to the PTSD sufferer the remark pierces her armor of normality and strikes at her sense of integrity and self-esteem.

She needs help.

She needs you to listen, to understand and to acknowledge her strengths and her gifts to the world so that the PTSD nightmare can end.
