Physical Symptoms Of Ptsd

I would love to hear your experiences of physical PTSD symptoms.

Not the physical symptoms of anxiety or...

I have the some of the same symptoms as many of you do. I have always hated loud noises. I grew up in a house where everyone was yelling. As I have gotten older, it has gotten worse. I don't even want a dog anymore. I became a cat person.

Does anyone know if this is something that we can "heal" from?? or is it like an "old war injury" and will be with us for the rest of our lives. I get embarrassed when I want to curl up and cover my ears. Especially in public.

You know I have often wondered about that. Can we really say that is a good therapist that can recognize that the patient is overwhelmed and still continue just like nothing happened?

Well, Freedomfighter, I think I've learned to mask it well. I don't expect even a good therapist to be able to read my mind, particularly on our 2nd or 3rd appt. I feel it was my responsibility to let her know and instead I just kept pushing myself because I was really interested in what she was saying. When I did let her know she immediately stopped and helped to ground me and made sure I was grounded before I left.
