When love hits a wall
Nina opened the door with a tired smile.
“I’m not quite sure where to start,” she said.
But she started anyway.
And maybe you already recognize yourself in this?
Nina lives with a man who has PTSD. It began with nightmares. Rage. Silence. Guilt. But then she got help.
And the first step was understanding.
That’s why the book Caring and PTSD exists
This book is written for you who are in the middle of it.
For you who want to help—without losing yourself along the way.
Through Nina’s story, warm explanations, and concrete tools, you learn how to:
✅ Help—without being swallowed by the trauma
✅ Understand symptoms like flashbacks and dissociation—and know what to do when they happen
✅ Set boundaries—and protect both your love and your health
✅ Find your way back to yourself—and take care of your own body and mind
“I love him. But I don’t love the illness. And it’s okay to say that.” — Nina
