Do You Have PTSD and Panic Attacks?

You can find help, like I did.

When my partner Gary and I had our daughter, River, four and a half years ago, we decided on an Attachment Parenting approach. This is something that is important to me, because I know from taking child psychology courses during college, that early attachment to a caregiver is crucial for a child’s success early in life.

During River’s infancy, Gary was a stay-at-home dad with her. He held her during her naps, because she wouldn’t nap otherwise until she was about 11 months.

One day while I was at work, my mom came over to check on Gary and River. He was holding her while she slept. My mom didn’t think that was the right approach. She told him, “Sometimes you just have to let kids cry so you can do something.”

When he recounted this to me after I got home from work, a chill went down my spine. I realized in that moment that I had been neglected as a child.

In the months to come, I started thinking about my own childhood, and how I have never felt a close connection with my mother. I started reading books about Childhood Emotional Neglect and Narcissistic Parents.

Since I had spent years married to a man I believe was a narcissist, I was quickly able to recognize red flags between his behavior and my mom’s behavior.

Most people think of PTSD as something that happens to veterans coming back from war, and that is an accurate description, as far as it goes.

Often, when soldiers are returning from war, they have seen terrible things that they don’t know how to process. They have lived on the battlefront, where danger is a constant, and they develop hypervigilance to threat.

When our bodies have stayed in a constant hyper-vigilant state, the fight or flight response becomes activated more easily. This is an evolutionary response to very real danger.

There are other events that can trigger PTSD however, besides being in a war-front. It can be caused by other types of traumatic events, including sexual assault, child abuse, domestic violence…
