Do you ever recover from PTSD?

I knew a woman once who was traumatized by some childhood events... what are the steps for recovery? Because it seemed like she was in a lot of pain.

there are many steps. the first is to seek professional help. you have to get to know your triggers very well if you want to get better.

personally i don't think you can totally get rid of it BUT i know that it can be dealt with and put in it's place so you can move forward in life.

PTSD is extremely painful and confusing. sorry for your friend's misfortune, and you too if you have PTSD.

YES! you can get rid of it. the trick is finding a psychologist that works in psychosomatic therapy. There are several programs out there. Check out these two books: Waking the Tiger by Peter Levine and Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE) by David Berceli. I started with Waking the Tiger and have been learning how to meditate and working with some of the exercises in these books and some my psychologist gave me and I can't believe how much better I am! please try it. its like a miracle to be released from PTSD

I am a therapist. I practice yoga-breath therapy. In 1984 I was quickly healed of years of emotional problems with yoga breathing. It changed my life and I became a therapist.

One of my clients was a former soldier who told me “I brought Vietnam home with me.” By his sixth yoga breathing session he said, “I no longer think about Vietnam.”

All emotional problems are a form of PTDS. Get into yoga breathing, and heal of emotional problems. Psychiatry doesn’t want you to know about this, that you can heal just be breathing in the right way. They are afraid it will invalidate psychiatry, as it should.

Yoga breathing is also known as “rebirthing” and “conscious breathing”. Find people who are called “rebirthers”. There’s plenty of information on the internet, key words: rebirthing, rebirthers, conscious breathing. When you do the breathing avoid taking any medication, it will diminish the efficacy of the breathing process.

Best wishes to you.
