Andrew Jackson has recently undertaken a course of study in the treatment of post traumatic stress with the National College of Hypno-psychotherapy. 5% of men and 10% of women suffer from post traumatic stress at some time in their lives. This can be due to emotional problems as a result of difficulties at work or within the family, or to some specific event. For example, up to 27% of people involved in road accidentsand 23% of patients admitted to intensive care suffer post traumatic stress. This is often due to a perceived loss of control.
