Definition: PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)

PTSD is an anxiety disorder whereby a person who has experienced or been confronted by a terrifying physical or emotional event (trauma) experiences persistent, frightening thoughts and memories, or flashbacks, of the event, with high levels of anxiety at or near the level originally experienced.

Not everyone who experience trauma experiences PTSD.

PTSD can be treated using the Rewind Technique (also known as Fast Phobia/Trauma Cure or VK dissociation)
