“Do you have 8 minutes?”
Research has shown that most of the time when you’re in a jam and you feel that you need help and just want somebody to help you out, all it takes is 8 minutes. Give a buddy a call and ask them “Do you have 8 minutes?”
PTS
Post Traumatic Stress (PTS) can occur after someone goes through a traumatic event like combat, assault, or disaster. Most people have some stress reactions after a trauma. If the reactions don’t go away over time or disrupt your life, you may have PTS.
