Feeling better can mean so many different things
to different people.
For some people, it's enjoying their marriage again
or enjoying their family.
I've had Veterans say to me at the end of treatment,
"I knew I loved my baby, but I didn't feel the love,
and now I feel the love with my baby.
Now I'm comfortable holding my baby."
So it could mean that.
It could mean, "I'm just enjoying life again.
I'm laughing, I'm having fun."
And that I see so much, where
at the end of treatment, really, the way the person sits,
they just feel lighter, they feel more present.
They're interacting with me more, whereas
at the beginning of treatment they were looking down,
and their whole posture was just different.
And so it could be just sort of feeling better.
For some people, it means they're ready
to pursue their goals again.
The PTSD was distracting them from working, or from traveling,
or from getting through school.
And now they feel like, "Oh my gosh, I can go somewhere.
I can go to this place that I want to go in my life,
and I can do these things that are so meaningful to me
that I thought were just gone."
