Here's a little about this condition...

Yes, I was in the military. However, the majority of my PTSD came from childhood abuse. My counselor helped bring to light that even my highly emotional and traumatic experiences in church are contributing factors. He has seen people come out of various churches and religions with PTSD.
My counselor has assisted me with Rapid Eye Movement Therapy. It helps. |
I know some here have poo poo'ed church experiences causing PTSD, but let me assure you that they can and do. To this day, I can react to a song service like a vietnam vet hearing a type writer in the background -with sudden shaking and cold sweats along with a desire to run in a random direction as far and fast as I can. My reaction to apostolic holiness religion from 30 years ago has forever shaped my view on things.
