PTSD is attributed to a variety of causes which typically yields unwanted, unpleasant and unwavering anxiety in you.

The cause may have involved the threat of death to oneself or to someone else, or to one’s own or someone else’s physical, sexual, or psychological integrity. These threats overwhelm an individual’s ability to cope.

The individual is literally stuck in the stress response to the unwanted event, which can impair social, occupational or other important areas of suffering.

The individual needs to re-examine this experience objectively, thus gaining learning and understanding from it.  They need practical skills in order to reach a different mental and learning outcome than previously held about the uncomfortable experience.  PTSD sufferers must identify their beliefs around this experience that are causing distress. They would also be helped along by a range of emotive therapy techniques.
