Living with and
controlling PTSD and
depressive disorder
Trace Dann
Lockhouse Productions,
Australia
Trace Dann presents a 60
minute (flexible) entertaining
presentation on how he
has suffered from PTSD and
Depressive Disorder for 10 years
but kept it suppressed as he went
on with leading life as a successful
sales executive in a multinational
corporation and then building
his own international theatre
production company. He is not
a mental health professional,
nor does he have any medical
qualifications, he is a man who
has lived with the disorders and
now has them under control. He
talks about how he was like a
swan floating majestically down
a river with everyone amazed
at how confident and capable
he was, while underneath the
surface he was paddling like crazy
against the tide of self-doubt,
numbed emotions, hyper-
alertness, guilt, frustration, and
many other negative thoughts.
He has followed his journey,
since diagnosis, on his own
blog and passed his innermost
thoughts on to anybody reading
so they may learn from his
experience. Covering areas
such as: Recognizing You Have
a Problem, Knowing Recovery is
Up To You, Seeking Professional
Support, Climbing Out Of The
Pit of Despair, Reconnecting
With Friends and Family, Doing
Something You Love, Chasing
Dreams (Goal Setting) and
Ongoing Management of Mind.
His objective is to let people with
the conditions know they are not
alone and hopefully, reduce the
number of suicides-particularly in
the veteran community. Also to
inform family and friends of what
is going on inside the mind of
their loved one.
