In our modern world, it seems as if the news is a constant stream of tragedies, catastrophes and traumatic events. From natural disasters and war to abuse and accidents, the aftermath of tragic events often leave survivors with mental and emotional issues, like Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. While we often hear PTSD related to soldiers returning home from war, anyone who has experienced an extremely stressful, life altering event can have PTSD. If you struggle with PTSD, you aren’t alone. It is estimated that approximately 7.7 million Americans age 18 and older struggle with PTSD.
