Troy: Finding PC and some other survivor sites has been a huge blessing for me.

Some people find it very helpful to talk their experience through, but they need to talk it through for a very long time. This is how they process the traumatic memory. The difficulty is finding others who can both listen and understand. Of course, no one will ever understand your experience exactly as you do because no one else can ever be you, but people can discover their common ground and help each other through the darkest moments.

The internet can be especially helpful in this regard, all the more so for those who may be living in isolated communities or do not have access to professional caregivers.
