If you have anger issues, have a look at the expressing anger video on the site for a great way to deal with that. Thanks for your comments.

I do fear the 'tools' and not using them correctly. I don't see my therapist more than every other week. I'm trying to heal based on your guidelines and the PTSD workbook. I'm actually creating my 'torah of trauma' and that is very, very hard and I may be stuck on that project for a while. Maybe you've already answered this in a previous video but how do you change your feelings about the triggers/events? I mean do you constantly remind yourself in those moments that there was nothing you could've done to change that situation? I don't yet know how to replace the way I view the memories..I feel like I stopped making sense here :s Thank you, you’ve answered so many questions I’ve had.

I tried to remember to release anger in the way you expressed in the video. I've got to say I do feel better as if I have begun to truly and safely release my anger. I was proud of myself for not crying..(being a woman lol) I kept going until my arms felt that they were going to fall off. My husband is fully supportive of this expression and every attempt I make to heal my mind. I seemed happier after I had came back up stairs and was able to play with our daughter without having any ptsd triggers....I think it's just what I did do to and thank you for the videos <3 So I went out and bought a punching bag today and only tried it out once.

I know they often feel helpless in those moments and hopefully they will watch this video and research so they better understand my PTSD and extreme anxiety. Yes I'm in therapy but its every other week and at the extreme I feel I wish it were daily. I truly need all the help i can get as I have and 1 1/2 yr old toddler who I DO NOT want to remember me this way. Thank you...truly and from the bottom of my heart, thank you. <3 Thank you so much for this video, I’ve sent it to everyone I love so they can get a semi better understanding.

It must be extremely tough. In my journey, it took me 30 years to have the courage to cry in front of people. From my old perspective, I used to think that I was weak if I did that. So I trained myself to be an emotional Rock of Gibraltar. This is one of the reasons I developed PTSD. For the courage you've shown in sharing I'd like to offer you a free subscription to the E-Course my wife and I put together, Emotional Connections. I send the details through to your email address. Much Love, James G’day Louise,

My Psych tells me they were all very extreme traumas and not normal at all. Because i was so young it programmed my brain to ALWAYS have my guard up. Even when i'm ''tired'' and exhausted, it never goes down, because my brain doesn't know any better. It's never known normality and when it does encounter what most would call ''normal'' i cannot deal with it and it scares me. I would like my first aim to be ''to be able to tell people what happened with emotion, instead of telling people what happened as if i was a news reporter talking about somebody else'' I want to learn how to be able to cry infront of somebody.
