In all four of the books in the Dreamscape Series, PTSD plays a role that is different for both main characters. One, Dr. Cara Williams, was impacted traumatically in a sexually abusive environment and then killed her abuser as a young teen. The other, Russell Carter, is a former Marine Force Recon Scout Sniper haunted by nightmares of one tragic event in Afghanistan. I wrote Personas for both Cara and Russ that point to PTSD for two different people but for no less debilitating reasons.
A reader reached out to me to offer this resource on PTSD. I liked her focus being Emotional PTSD and the many faces and ways it can manifest.
I’m pleased she reached out and welcomed posting her information. Feel free to share!
Peace! G.

“During a car accident, a series of events can unfold that can cause lasting emotional trauma, including life-altering injuries, the threat of death, and the death of someone else. Emotional trauma is a natural response to such a dramatic chain of events. It is a function of the brain’s complex survival mechanisms.
Emotional distress can have profound effects on your daily life and physical recovery. You may suddenly be afraid of driving or being in a car, making it difficult to leave your home for work, medical treatment, or other needs.
In most legal cases, mental trauma accompanies physical trauma. Some states require you to prove that you suffered physical injuries to recover damages for emotional trauma. You can learn more here: https://farahandfarah.com/traumatic-accidents-mental-health/
Please let me know if you have any other questions. Have a great day!
