Brad Schipke explains that PTSD comes from any experience that shatters your sense of safety: abuse, accidents, loss, betrayal, medical trauma. Trauma is measured by its internal impact, not how big the event looks from outside. Full healing is possible.
Is PTSD only from war, or can it come from other traumas? PTSD can come from really any experience that overwhelms your sense of safety, not just war. It can come from abuse, accidents, loss, betrayal, medical trauma, or growing up in constant stress. War is just one type of trauma, but it's not the only one. Trauma isn't measured by how big it looks from the outside. It's measured by how deeply it impacts you on the inside. So yes, civilians can have PTSD. Children can. Literally anyone can. You don't need to compare your pain for it to be valid. If your body still reacts to the danger like it never ended, that's trauma. But the good news is that you can heal from it 100%.
