by avoidance of stimuli associated with the trauma. The events are so traumatic that
person thought they were going to die or perhaps witnessed a death. Sexual assaults,
any type of physical attack where your person hood was threatened. Being
kidnapped, held hostage and war veterans commonly suffer from PTSD.
Dreams, nightmares, re-living the events over and over. As the anniversary of the

some of the symptoms of PTSD. It is not always known what triggers these reactions,
but what is known, there is help for them.*
