yes here where I live and wirk the mental health community and I believe a person can heal from PTSD....PTSD is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. its just a big label / category for symptoms that come from going through a trauma.

example I went through a work related trauma where an abuser shot their victim in front of me. I wasnt physically harmed but being a witness to that crime caused me to experience hypervigelence, panic and anxiety, nightmares and flashbacks. Just the idea of going in to work would send me into an anxiety/panic attack. I would walk the floor at night checking and rechecking windows and doors to make sure that abuser wasnt going to shoot me, I had a startle reflex when ever I heard any noises related to what happened.

I took time off from work and worked with my therapist. now I no longer fear going to work, I no longer have nightmares over what happened, I no longer have flashbacks from the traumatic event, I am able to go to work, meet with abuse clients, help them to break free of their abusers, confront their abusers and testify in court about the abuser, the victim and how our agency is helping the victim. I no longer walk the floor checking windows and doors at night and no longer startle at noises that resemble what I had gone through..

because I no longer have any problems with PTSD symptoms over the traumatic event that cuased these problems I am considered to be legally and mentally healed from that event and the resulting PTSD that, that traumatic event caused.

That isnt to say I can never have PTSD symptoms resulting from other traumatic events.

PTSD is one of those mental disorders that can be caused by many kind of stressful and perceived traumatic event. a person has PTSD symptoms related to a trauma and when they no longer have PTSD symptoms from that trauma they are healed. they are done having PTSD over that traumatic event.

its like a person who has allergies to peanut butter. they go through allergy testing and shots and they are no longer allergic to peanut butter. their allergy (peanut butter) has been healed.

that doesnt mean they are immune to a very allergen out there. they could some day find out they are allergic to bees. their finding out they are allergic to bees doesnt mean they were not healed from their allergy to peanut butter. it just means they have a new allergy to heal from.

my PTSD from my work related trauma is healed and gone, and over time a new trauma may cause me to have new PTSD symptoms related to the new traumatic event.

for example what if another abuser harms their victim in front of me. this may ****remind**** me of that past trauma but the anxiety, panic, nightmares, hypervigelence... is because I witnessed a new traumatic event.

That doesnt mean I wasnt healed from the first traumatic event, it just means I have new PTSD symptoms because I witnessed another traumatic event.

just like you can be healed from having allergies to one thing and then have a new diagnosis of allergies related to a new allergen here where I live and work we believe you can have PTSD from a traumatic event, be healed from that so you no longer have PTSD symptoms and then have a new diagnosis of PTSD from a different traumatic event.

how many traumas cause a person to go through and be healed from PTSD is different for everyone.
