In fact, according to (National Alliance on Mental Illness); About 50% of all people will go through at least one traumatic experience. Of course there were many traumatic events like many others. I was in a rehabilitation center that was cult like, which was shut down by the Bergen County prosecutors office back in the 90’s. It was different than other traumatic events in my life time. The typical being kicked out of the house. Falling out of the tree house and even being sent away to the Paramus JDC as a kid. Did thoughts cause P.T.D.S. not at all. The rehabilitation Center was much different. Others tried to get out, jumping out of moving cars, jumping off bridges and other events trying to escape the KIDS OF BERGEN COUNTY corrupt facility. Many aspects of the place left me with nightmares and visions. (FYI another similar center had been shut down).
“It’s ok, to Not Be ok” Therapy and support if symptoms persist is the best way. according to NAMI. Here is an article that may help you understand P.T.D.S. CLICK HERE! “Whether you’re a military service member, veteran, salesperson or elementary school student, PTSD has the potential to develop in any of us. And if it does, please know that help is available. No one should face PTSD alone.”-NAMI..
