    Ptsd Recovery

    Another trauma can be so many things. Not necesarily the same as happend the first time. In my case is the feeling of others having the control over my life or me that is retraumatising. Like that Im now on social welfare. I belive I would be fairly symptom free in many ways if I had a...
