PTSD and its Relation to Beliefs in Causal Time

It seems, when we are faced with a situation that threatens our core beliefs, and yet we cannot fight or flee, or in other words when we have no response other than submission to what MUST been seen as dramatic and radical change, out of this comes what we call trauma.

And it is from trauma that we believe PTSD arises.

But the CURE for PTSD I think lies in alleviating a belief in causal time, that allows for the possibility of trauma to lead to PTSD in the first place. That is to say the cure to past trauma is to seek and reside in the present moment.

With awareness of the present, one starts to dissociate with the terror of the past, and the anxiety it brings in the present (PTSD IS after all psychological?).

It is NOT "dissociation from reality" though, rather a dissociation from a past reality, that is not necessarily relevant in the present (hence the mental illness).

The basic "trick" here is to teach the mind to observe its own illness, but without trying to cure itself or escape from the notion that it is sick.
