I think it's important to note that PTSD is a response of the nervous system that show's up in our bodies through our physiology to a traumatic experience, whether it was combat, witnessing horrific events, or emotional trauma. All of which, obviously, are part of war. I'd like people to know about an organization that helps people heal trauma in general, and with PTSD in particular. It's called The Foundation for Human Enrichment and the primary souce of healing trauma is through a process called Somatic Experiencing. It was developed by Dr. Peter Levine and is acknowledged worldwide as an effective treament for trauma healing.The website is www.traumahealing.com
I hope you won't think this an advertisment. The foundation is a non-profit and is currently doing leading edge work in helping people heal PTSD. Thank you for sharing this important resouce for people struggling with unresolved trauma.
PS: I think fireworks should be banned for many reasons.
