Educate yourself about PTSD, which really helps to normalize the experience. A great website I just found: http://giftfromwithin.org/

I started an 'emotion book'. Sometimes words seem to get in the way of feeling, so I would sit down with my blank book and a bunch of markers, and draw whatever I was feeling. I only use the book to explore my emotions...simple words, pictures, colors...whatever comes out.

I try to remember my dreams, and work with the images in therapy and on my own. I've had some powerful breakthroughs with dreams.

When I was having a particularly rough patch, I started regularly exercising. I decided I *wanted* to feel better, and after exercising I always felt better. It has really helped.

I eat as many fresh fruits and vegetables as I can. Again, this helps me feel better, and it helps my body process the by-products of the stress.
