A couple of questions I'd love to have some thoughts on
1) Why are intimate relationships, good, caring relationships, so scary to PTSD sufferers? Particularly specific to women who have suffered abuse at the hands of men from the father on up?
2) When the PTSD sufferer goes into isolation mode; ie, pushed her loved one away, what are some thoughts on how to respond and for the PTSD sufferer is there an "oh my land, what am I doing" a-ha moment wherein the come back?
I know these are hugely general questions . . . but wondering what some of the experiences out there are.
