Post-traumatic Stress Disorder
“The hardest part was feeling trapped.” Nicole was speaking in short, choppy breaths, her face contorted in a grimace, hands clenched and pushing away from her as if the original perpetrator were right there, pressing down on her yet again.

Pain: What Does Stress Have to Do with It?
