WHERE ARE YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY?
His nightmares were relentless last night. And his anger is near to bursting. You know today will be a bad one, but you’re already exhausted from all the yesterdays with his PTSD. Will there ever be a day you’re not walking on eggshells? Is there anyone that could ever understand what your life has become?
Awareness of PTSD relationships begins with this someone who is on the same journey as you.
It’s been months. It’s been years. PTSD has changed the man you fell in love with. And now it’s changing you. You love him and have already given up so much to help support him, so why isn’t he getting better? You’re heartbroken to realise that what you’re doing isn’t working.
You’re looking for clear direction and real-life tools for real-life PTSD relationships, like yours.
This PTSD, you know it’s here to stay. But in the chaos you’ve been neglecting your own needs for too long. There’s never enough time and PTSD seems to interrupt every moment. You know you can’t cure his PTSD. It’s time to move forward. So how do you recover your life and heal yourself?
Challenge the overwhelm. Learn how to change your thinking and take small steps.
