He clarifies that PTSD is a normal psychological response to abnormal, traumatic events, noting that the symptoms experienced after trauma are shared by many people and can be grouped under the PTSD diagnosis. While sufferers may sometimes feel “insane,” this feeling is itself a typical part of the trauma response. Schipke emphasizes that full recovery from trauma is possible and invites viewers to subscribe for tools and guidance on healing.
