Have you ever had that happen? It feels terrible, especially when it comes from someone you care about or someone you need.

In this conversation, Dr. Henry Cloud is going to walk you through what PTSD is, and how it tries to work through the brain.

Five hundred twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes
Over two decades ago, the Broadway musical Rent featured the iconic song "Seasons of Love" that captivated audiences with a simple question: "How do you measure a year in the life?
"525,600 minutes. One year." That is my answer to parents when they ask me how long it will take them to begin feeling better about their son or daughter's struggle with sexual or gender identity.

They feel better because moms and dads learn how to love better; and when they know how to love the right way, they get a glimpse of God's perfect love, which casts out all fear. It is this love that heals hearts, restores relationships, and transforms families.
