I choose PTG (Post Traumatic Growth) over PTSD.
How men, and women, are truly made is through adversity, pressure, extreme stress. After all these tests, a person’s level of perseverance, resilience, strength, character and beauty are found. As we go the way of life, we are presented with a number of opportunities to refine ourselves or to be forged. This starts at a …
I received a text message from an old friend this morning stating that they needed to talk to someone. I know this old friend has dealt with health challenges for some time now. I immediately felt empathy for this person because I had been there before myself. Yesterday morning I stopped by my mom and …
Having been involved, passionately, in the PTSD debacle over the past 18 months what I've learned is what the title says, "PTSD is a choice". Stating this to most people who have been diagnosed will strongly disagree without hesitation.

To start off let’s back up a few years. Like 25 years or so. Growing up in a home with a loving mother and father is where it began for me. Things were normal with my two sisters and my folks.
