We Carry the Light with Host Dr. Susan Allison: Coping with Post Traumatic Stress with Dr. Susan Allison

Do you ever overreact to situations and people? Do you have a "fight or flight" response when dealing with life's stressors? Do you feel hyper-vigilant, are easily startled, edgy, nervous or otherwise anxious? Whether you know it or not, you may be suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and it is not just soldiers that suffer. Perhaps you had a difficult childhood, may have been abused, suffered an accident or injury, illness or other trauma, experienced the death or deaths of those close to you, lost your job, your home or lived through a disaster. You are not alone. Many of us have PTSD and are learning to cope with its symptoms. Tune into today's show and discover the causes, symptoms and healing techniques for one of our least understood and least talked about disorders. You can help yourself or someone you love.
