Cannabis for PTG
The goal of cannabis therapy is not to treat symptoms of post-traumatic stress. The goal of cannabis therapy is to transform post-traumatic stress to post-traumatic growth.
However, overcoming PTSD and experiencing Post-Traumatic Growth will not occur with cannabis alone. If you want to thrive, you must implement the lifestyle techniques outlined within the chapter on post-traumatic growth.
While veterans are more likely to be diagnosed with this issue, post-traumatic stress is underdiagnosed and can occur in anyone. Victims of rape, childhood abuse, verbal abuse, and traumatic events often exhibit symptoms of PTSD.
Do you have trouble standing in line in large crowds? Do you have nightmares keeping you awake at night? Do you have triggers causing flashbacks and episodes of panic? These could all be red flags of your own personal onset of PTSD.
In this book, we will explore the symptoms associated with PTSD and why they occur. Unlike many mental health disorders, PTSD has been associated with a deficiency in anandamide (also known as “the bliss molecule”). This book will break down the science behind PTSD and give you a better understanding of why you are experiencing these symptoms. With better insight into why your symptoms are occurring, you will be able to formulate a better treatment plan to live the quality of life you wish for yourself.
All cannabis is not created equal, and within these different plants are many medicinal benefits. After reading this book, you will understand the difference between the two major cannabinoids: Cannabidiol (CBD) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). Not only that, but you will also know when each cannabinoid should be used. We will explore other cannabinoids and terpenes found in the cannabis plant as well, which can also be beneficial for those suffering with PTSD.
Unlike traditional books, whose focus is on getting you back to “normal”, this book will focus on thriving not in spite of, but because of, your illness. We will explore the concept of “Post-Traumatic Growth”, which is when someone uses their illness to become stronger than they were before, and we will show you how medicinal cannabis can aid in that growth.
We’ve all seen people handle adversity differently. Some succumb to its pressures, others are resilient and claw their way back to a sub-par lifestyle, and some find better qualities of life for themselves. This book will provide the tools and technique you need to help you thrive!
