Dr. John A. King argues that believing you have PTSD figured out is dangerous. There is no cure, no pill or single therapy that fixes it permanently. The healthiest approach is ongoing self-management that lets you continuously learn and adapt.
Hi, I want to read you a quote from a book. It's actually a fantasy book called Waylander. It's a great book, love Dave Grimmel. When a fool sees himself as he is, then he is a fool no longer. And when a wise man learns of his own wisdom, then he becomes a fool. Let me put it to you another way, is when you think you got your shit together, you're done. The whole thought of being cured of post-traumatic stress, I think, is a total misnomer. The most dangerous times of— and are only really perpetrated by people who do not have PTSD. They want to tell us, take this pill, do this therapy, do this thing. It's all going to be over. Listen, it's not. I've been dealing with this thing for a lot of years and so have you. The best place that you can come to is when you are managing yourself completely. And that really gives you permission to constantly be learning, constantly be growing, and constantly be managing your circumstance and your situations.
