Have you ever felt overwhelmed by life’s challenges, unsure of how to cope? Today, I take you through my personal journey with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), sharing the relief and validation that came with understanding my diagnosis. We’ll explore the critical importance of seeking professional help, navigating through the historical context of PTSD in the Diagnostic Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM), and understanding how trauma uniquely impacts each individual. 

Join me as I recount my experiences living with PTSD, including memory lapses, hypervigilance, and sleep disturbances. These symptoms profoundly affected my everyday life, but therapy, medication, and support programs like Lauren Starnes’ “When the Body Talks” played crucial roles in my path to better mental health. This episode aims to shed light on the complex interplay between trauma and the mind, emphasizing the need for consistent care and professional evaluation. 

In our concluding discussions, we focus on the healing journey, exploring effective treatments such as EMDR, cognitive behavior therapy, and complementary therapies like mindfulness and yoga. Reflecting on the biblical story of the man at the pool of Bethesda, I encourage you to ask yourself if you truly want to heal and take those necessary steps toward well-being. Embrace the beauty in everyday moments, create lasting memories, and recognize the everyday miracles that affirm your worth and presence.
