If one dimension is wounded, turn to one of the other three.

If your physical, mental, spiritual and emotional health are all out of balance (like mine where when I was a teenager), this episode may apply to you. This podcast is presented as if there is a problem in the Mental and Emotional Components. The recommended solution here is any one of hundreds of physical, body-based approached to PTSD that can help with body relaxation, parasympathetic shunting, self-acceptance and, hopefully, bad energy release.
 
Brene Brown's parent resources were also mentioned in the podcast, but appears to be taken off of her website as of 11/3/2021.
If you are the parent of a teenager with PTSD, there are no doubt other issues from regular life happening so this can be a different lens for you.

Teenagers represent a reflection of their parents, grandparents, their absence, love and trauma. The combination of PTSD and ADHD certainly makes things more interesting.
