Common signs of trauma & ptsd in Chennai
- Intrusive memories, nightmares, or sudden vivid replays.

Trauma is not the event — it's how the event got stored
Two people can experience the same event and only one develops PTSD. The difference is largely how the nervous system encoded the experience. CR helps the system re-encode it.
