As someone who experiences PTSD symptoms from a single traumatic event, I've found it difficult to find information that relates to my experience or providers that can offer me meaningful insight.
I think the article is really wonderful and I wanted to share it.
It focuses not just on the PTSD experience but talks a lot about
"post-traumatic growth". It also talks specifically about women's health and PTSD experience.

"What can these women teach the rest of us? As researchers learn more about what makes people resilient, they hope to develop therapies that could lessen negative responses and promote post-traumatic growth instead. "It's not about getting over it—it's about processing it in the most meaningful way," Tedeschi says. "You still have your fears and grief and suffering, but you have made your suffering meaningful. If you can learn to do that, you can get through the bad stuff in life and find value in the struggle."
