i can say that one thing that really worked for me was to find the good hidden inside the trauma... i know this sounds like an oxymoron, but if we survived the actual event, then we learned something valuable, whether we have taken the time to find it or not.
for me, there was a deep sense of self reliance left behind, a kind of self trust under all the anger, denial, and grief. when i began to meditate, and with the assistance of the Holosync brain repair technology (google CenterPointe.com), i am finally finding peace and relief from those flashes of anger and fear that used to come without warning.
i hope all those who suffer find some way of moving on and healing the wounds that are with them in the PRESENT day, for i believe that the past is held only in our memories, mind, body and spirit. best wishes.. Gus
