I have P.T.S.D. from a violent sexual assault at the hands of strangers. I spent a long time dismissing the idea that pain can make you a better person. Around 2003, I was involved in a study with the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto. I began thinking about rape as if it were an earthquake or a flood: it took away everything I had when I was too young to realize I had anything at all. But what was important was what I built out of the rubble — that was what mattered more than the event itself. Today, I sleep soundly, I have successful long-term friendships and relationships with family and I haven't had a panic attack in four years. I hope to see the kind of training in this article make its way to those of us who fought solo wars on different fronts. The Postwar Attitude Adjustment
