Vignette:
"Jill, a 32-year-old Afghanistan war
veteran, had been experiencing PTSD symptoms for more than five years. She
consistently avoided thoughts and images related to witnessing her fellow
service members being hit by an improvised explosive device (IED) while driving
a combat supply truck. Over the years, Jill became increasingly depressed and
began using alcohol on a daily basis to help assuage her PTSD symptoms. She had
difficulties in her employment, missing many days of work, and she reported
feeling disconnected and numb around her husband and children. In addition to a
range of other PTSD symptoms, Jill had a recurring nightmare of the event in
which she was the leader of a convoy and her lead truck broke down. She waved
the second truck forward, the truck that hit the IED, while she and her fellow
service members on the first truck worked feverishly to repair it. Consistent
with the traumatic event, her nightmare included images of her and the service
members on the first truck smiling and waving at those on the second truck, and
the service members on the second truck making fun of the broken truck and
their efforts to fix it — 'Look at that piece of junk truck — good luck getting
that clunker fixed.'"
