It is possible to be productive, it is possible to be happy again, it is possible to feel healthy again, it's possible to feel stable again, and I hope that everybody does know that there's hope and that things can get better, and that there are a lot of people out there who are willing to help you along that journey.
How do you move forward when the past keeps pulling you back? In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', Mary Woods sits down with Tracy Stecker, Ph.D., a psychologist at The Dartmouth Psychiatric Research Center, to explore the complex world of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Tracy sheds light on how PTSD can develop long after a traumatic event, manifesting in symptoms like irritability, sleep disturbances, and avoidance behaviors that can strain relationships and daily life.
She delves into the unique challenges faced by military personnel and the often-overlooked struggles of civilians who have experienced various forms of trauma. But it’s not all about the hurdles. Tracy shares uplifting personal stories of healing, including a soldier who found peace by sharing his comrades' stories.
She emphasizes that recovery is within reach and discusses evidence-based practices and common-sense approaches used at Westbridge Community Services to support individuals and families dealing with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. This episode offers a compassionate look at PTSD, providing valuable insights and hope for those affected. Whether you’re dealing with PTSD yourself or supporting a loved one, you'll find this conversation both informative and inspiring.
