Thank you for this. I have PTSD and for a long time debated this and decided against medication and for trying to reprogram my responses to triggers. It wasn’t easy and I’m still not done but when I think of the progress I have made over the years I far prefer it to medication. I personally believe the brain can change and for me this was the right choice, and I got sick of hearing people tell me it was because of some mix of chemicals and a pill would fix it. My startle reflex isn’t that bad now and I can say I am happy and able to experience the moment without anxiety and be present.
