"I only recently got the treatment I needed, and I’m glad I did because it saved my life" - that sentence stopped me in my tracks when I saw Djunah's Instagram feed last week. Donna Diane of Djunah has wrestled with C-PTSD for a long time. She came on Car Con Carne tonight to share her story of treatment, while offering encouragement for others struggling and suffering throughout our chat.
