The Fourth of July is meant to be a celebration. Cookouts, sparklers, time with family, and fireworks lighting up the night sky. But if you’re living with PTSD, this holiday can feel like something entirely different. The loud pops, crowded events, and unpredictability can trigger intense reactions that are hard to explain and even harder to control.

At Alleviant, we understand that for many people, the Fourth isn’t easy. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to just push through it. With the right tools and support, you can take care of yourself and get through the day in a way that feels safe for you.
