I worked through the stuff.

Leah Parady (US Air Force, 1993 - 2011) talks about what PTSD treatment was like.

Transcript

I'm sort of a student at heart,

so the worksheets really helped me

write down and get some thoughts down on paper

that I could talk to and use with my therapy

to work through a whole bunch of different traumatic events.

So the traditional CPT lasts for 12 weeks,

but I was in that for a lot longer,

but we went through multiple different events

that I wanted to work through.

But it was emotionally taxing, it was relieving,

it was overwhelming, it was stressful,

but in the end it was great

because I worked through this stuff,

and I'll never forget about it

but I can think about it and talk about it

without being completely overwhelmed by it now.
