Remember that Ptsd does not mean that you are refusing to let go of the past, but that your past is refusing to let go of you.
PTSD isn't just for combat veterans. In this eye-opening episode of 'A2D - From Addict to Disciple', host David Hain sheds light on a different angle of PTSD by introducing the concepts of post-treatment stress disorder and post-time stress disorder. Ever wondered why anxiety and panic attacks seem to persist even after rehab or prison? David breaks down the classical PTSD model and adapts it to the unique struggles faced by those in recovery.
He poses five crucial questions to help you dig deep and uncover the root causes of your emotional turmoil, from feelings of shame and guilt to the daunting task of building a new identity. This episode emphasizes the power of sharing your experiences in group meetings or one-on-one counseling sessions, creating a space for safety, trust, and friendship.
David's empathetic approach offers a roadmap for walking in authority over your memories and focusing on the present to build a brighter future. If you're navigating the choppy waters of post-treatment or post-time stress, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice to help you find your footing.
