Truths to Embrace when Recovering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

You may hit some rough patches on the road to recovery from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Sometimes, setbacks stem from low expectations of yourself and negative self-talk. Here are some statements that can point you toward the positive side when your spirits are low.



  • Persevering through this time and continuing with my healing is courageous.



  • Setbacks are just bumps in the road — I can get past them and continue my journey.



  • Taking care of myself is important for me and for my loved ones.



  • The stronger I become over time, the easier my road to recovery will be. The beginning of this journey is the hardest part.



  • I’m doing my best each day, and I don’t need to be perfect.



  • I have supportive people in my life who will help me overcome this problem.



  • Just because I feel afraid doesn’t mean I’m in any danger.



  • Often when I feel afraid, it’s because I haven't processed my emotional trauma, putting it behind me, and moving on. After I do this, I’ll be less afraid. I can look forward to that time in the future, even if I’m afraid today.
