Reducing the severity or frequency of your PTSD symptoms is critical. There are many things you can try. Below are links to my posts that highlight the methods that worked for me. Obviously, I love to travel so it has played an important part in my recovery.
Mindfulness and grounding
It finally occurred to me that when I travel, I practice mindfulness – focusing exclusively on the things around me in any given moment, sights, smells, sounds, tastes, feelings. I walk the city streets or a path through the woods while absorbing everything I encounter or discover along the way. When I’m mindful of the moment, I can’t think about anything else. It’s wonderful!
