With Warmest Greetings to All! This article was very close to my heart. I suffered for over 30 years from PTSD and did not realize it until recently. As a young child growing up, I was exposed to emotional and sometimes physical violence in my home. This, combined with the historical truama passed down from ancestors- I was a mess!
Through much inner work, I have found peace and understanding. I write now to try to help others on the path of healing. I would enjoy hearing from you. The path is lonely sometimes, still. I send you thoughts of Love.
As a race, the Native population in North America has experienced an unusual amount of trauma. The results have been very clear emotional, physical, and behavioral responses to this trauma. From a spiritual perspective, PTSD can be viewed as negative energy trapped in the body.
