Sufferer Supporter and Sufferer. Realizing symptoms from childhood trauma AFTER help with Army PTSD.

I see allot of similar threads that are quite unique to childhood trauma and military as well, I've been through both. I have gained a tremendous amount of clarity now that I have experienced cognitive behavioral therapy related to PTSD as a combat medic. I'm just now discovering why I have the habits and attributes that I do. I've been living with childhood abuse for decades. I really hope to share my experiences with several others and hope that I can help out as much as I can. I'm 52 and a good listener. It will only get better!!! If I can get through this, you can as well!!

Yep - did the military thing, did the 911 thing, did the ptsd thing and then found out I had childhood trauma (medical stuff) so got to add that as a thing

welcome!

Welcome!

I did the reverse… golden childhood, military, massive family trauma.

Which makes it super fun to kick knowledge with people who have both military and family trauma, in different orders. As both the points of connection, and facets of difference? Are. Just. Useful. As. Hell.

haha yes, there are lots of people here with that experience it seems!

I have gained a tremendous amount of clarity now that I have experienced cognitive behavioral therapy related to PTSD as a combat medic. I'm just now discovering why I have the habits and attributes that I do. I've been living with childhood abuse for decades.

I'm sorry you had that experience, but glad that cbt helped you. Can relate a lot to this experience of learning why you are the way you are- even before going to war- and how that might predispose you to getting ptsd.

I really hope to share my experiences with several others and hope that I can help out as much as I can

welcome. i'm really glad that you posted this, and hope you find what you need here.
