The discussion went on to discuss methods in which we can identify, in others, the effects of this cognitive overload that accompanies the psychological trauma associated with PTSD. The Shaman would outline some programmatic steps he uses when working with the hundreds of people he sees every year to get to “living” mechanisms that those affected can embrace to move past this and experience true happiness and joy.
