This mental health educational video focuses on the problem of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD. PTSD is a delayed stress reaction to either a major traumatic event such as a war or a series of smaller traumatic stressors over time such as growing up in a dysfunctional family. Either type of PTSD creates massive disruption in the life of the person suffering from it. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is a large and growing problem in the world today.
This PTSD educational video explains in detail the symptoms, causes, and dynamics of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. It discusses how the different parts of the brain react which is a major part of how PTSD develops. Treatment approaches are discussed and many of the newer “power therapies” are delineated. These therapy approaches have revolutionized the treatment of trauma. Jef Gazley, M.S., LMFT has specialized in the field of PTSD for over 33 years and is one of the pioneers in these new therapies.
