PTSD and Trauma recovery

JeepSakes..... I am still amazed 54 years later with the depth of my increased startle response from PTSD. Sometimes, when it goes into full-on mode, I feel embarrassed. Done what I can to decrease it, but, such a stubborn buggar it is! I have decided to just accept this part of me as it is. I just explain it to people that matter to me. This does cut my anxiety some.At least now, I do know I won't haul off and smack someone when startled.
