Even though I am knowledgible about PTSD as a psychiatric nurse and course study in Trauma counseling, I gained new insights into the prevalence statistically of those groups from children to adults who hae experienced some type of trauma. The origins of the past definitions of those behaviors was beneficial. Lastly, I was glad to see that research has caught up with the behavor which demystifies those experiencing PTSD.
On a personal note, my daddy was a WW2 veterance who lost the tipe of his finger with schrapnel. At the end stage of his life in hospice, he fell out of the bed. I asked him how did that happen. His response was he was getting ready to jump from his jeep into the jeep of a German deep and in midstream he realize he was in a dream and at that point fell.
I recall how he used to toss and turn in his bed and we were told as children not to go up to his face, but touch his toes to wake him up. I am glad we have these courses that gives insights to better serve this population.
Any vet thank you for your service.
