If you are being taught techniques to manage your PTSD, have you tried to use them to deal with SPD triggers? At least long enough for you to figure out the cause of the Fright/Flight response going on in your body?

If I am getting overwhelmed (SPD) or flashbacks, the first thing I try to do once I realize that I am getting hysterical is to try to force myself to meditate (starting with deep rythmatic breaths). This helps me to figure out the cause of the problem. If I am still semi-functional, I ask others to stop the cause of the problem or to move me away from the cause of the problem (I rarely can move myself when it gets bad).

As far as Tornado PTSD goes, that definitely needs to be talked out with a professional. What happened to you would definitely make me afraid of the wind even in small amounts without help. Frankly, mental trauma from like an event like that is normal and to be expected. I would still say anyone who experienced it should get help though even if they don't think they are affected.


As a side question: Does your Trailer Park have any kind of Tornado Shelter that people can go to if the Tornado Warnings are sounded?
