My dearest Carole,

Dealing with post-traumatic-stress-disorder is never easy.  The best natural method is purely cognitive.  However, PTSD is a severe disorder that people come by honestly. 

1.  Know that what hit you will probably never hit you again.
2.  Come to grips with what befell you.  Chances are that you may have had something to do with it.  In that case, yoiu can take pro-active steps to prevent recurrence.
3.  Know that you are not alone.  Others suffer PTSD as you do, and they may have an answer you never considered before.
4.  Face what befell you, and overcome it.  If a savage dog attack gave you PTSD, select a counselor who can reintroduce you to dogs a little at a time until the fear has gone.
5.  Once youhave faced it, write the whole story down, find a steel drum, and burn the paper.  The smoke rising toward heaven can tell your spirit that there is nothing to fear anymore.
6.  Give yourself the time to heal.  When you make up your mind to heal, instead of let those wrongs fester inside you, that is your rebirth-day.

It is only natural, and completely rational, to suspect recurrence and look at small things, thinking that this could be yet another trauma in the making.  When you take charge and scour your life of the misery that once beset you, then you can call yourself healed.

No one ever gets past severely depressing PTSD.  But we can learn to control it.
