I took notes while taking this part of the course. What I found interesting was the 5.2 million adults that may develop PTSD. I learned about the various military terms used for PTSD and their evolution of terms. Realizing that there is a lot of childhood trauma is saddening. When I think about the generations today, they are being more coddled which I think in my opinion is leading to more trauma. There is a higher divorce rate now than before which leads to these traumatic events in children and young adults. High school can be difficult for some while for others it is fun experience. As going through this module, one can see that if trauma begins in early childhood, it could continue on into adulthood which makes it difficult to cope and become functional without help.
