Dr. John A. King says real self-care for PTSD isn't bubble baths or quick fixes. It's making hard choices that transform your life because you're the only you you have. Treat yourself like you'd treat someone you love.
If you truly love someone, you don't necessarily give them what they want or even what they think would make them happy, but you want the very best for them. And sometimes the very best is, is a difficult thing and a different thing. So I want to encourage you to treat yourself as if you're someone that you love. Don't seek out for the superfluous or the shallow, but seek out for the deep and the meaningful. And those things that over time are going to make a massive difference in your life and have a tremendous impact on you and all those around you. Be good to you. You are the only you that you have.
