A Vietnam veteran and career veterans' counselor who struggles with
post-traumatic stress (PTS) tells how to recognize the symptoms of
PTS and how to begin the healing process. The veteran and those who
care about him/her must understand that: - he/she is not alone in
this struggle - and that he/she is not crazy. Post-traumatic stress
is a sane person's reaction to intense or protracted violence. We
learn to control the anxiety, hypervigilance and behaviors that
tend to interfere with making a living, studying and social
functioning. Making peace with post-traumatic stress means
understanding the nature of the beast that followed you home, and
knowing what triggers PTS symptoms in you. Making peace means
seeking help from Department of Veterans Affairs caregivers who
will give you the tools to deal with PTS. The author tells you what
to expect from VA Vet Centers, VA Mental Health Clinics, and the
trained people who are there to help you. Additionally, we find
that we must make peace with those who love us, with the buddies we
left behind, and even with ourselves. The author gives personal
insights into these issues. He also draws from personal experience
to give practical advice to younger veterans on job searches,
education, family financial management, and the veteran's role in
the American political process. Although money is not a cure for
post-traumatic stress, the author walks you through the process of
claiming PTS (and other conditions) as VA-recognized disabilities
for VA compensation. Examples of stressor statement forms that
resulted in successful compensation claims are provided. For
Vietnam veterans, an appendix provides information on Agent Orange
claims.
