CranioSacral Therapy Releases Stress
Yes, there is an upside to PTSD. The upside is called PTG, Post-Trauma Growth, which enables you to develop a deep appreciation of stronger relationships, increased personal strength and new life possibilities after trauma.
But of course, first comes overcoming the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD, you may be experiencing. If the trauma was a sudden, unexpected incident, from my perspective, your ‘inner animal,’ aka autonomic nervous system, is in hyper-alert. Something in you thinks it can and probably will happen again. And there may be an element of truth in this BUT read the stats.
If you live on the San Andreas fault line in California, your chances of experiencing an earthquake are definitely higher. What to do? Move away when you can, though that may not stop your stress response.
If you have had a medical emergency and the doctors have declared you clear, but your inner animal doesn’t think so, what do you do? Same with a car accident. Yes, you need to be more vigilant, but not super-hyper-vigilant, even if the car accident was not your fault. What else can you do?

Use Your Mind to Calm Your PTSD Stress Response
Your intelligence will tell you that what you fear is not what is happening in the moment. This is the truth. And then you need to talk yourself and your inner animal down from high overactive stress response. No one else can do this. Baby steps are needed. Support may be needed as you navigate a new normal. Understanding why there’s no quick fix for trauma can itself be a relief—it reframes slow progress as normal, not failure.
Your New Normal
Actually, every step of your life’s journey is filled with a new normal. And everyone is navigating PTSD to some degree. You may not have released your perceived issues with your parents or the drama of their love life. You may be reliving their life or your younger years over and over, like a bad ‘Groundhog Day Movie.’ If this resonates, exploring body-centered somatic therapy explained can show you how working directly with the body helps interrupt these deeply held patterns.
This is where finding support, whether this is physical activity, body-centred therapy, or meditation that is not medicating, will serve you well. This is especially relevant for those navigating somatic healing for chronic conditions that have roots in unresolved trauma.

Post-Traumatic Growth: Living in the Moment with Gratitude
The upside of PTSD and everyone else as well is to discover and empower your potential. The potential is to live in the moment and make the most of it. Appreciation and gratitude are essential for expanding your consciousness and letting go of the past to come into this very moment.
