POST-TRAUMATIC
STRESS DISORDER
(PTSD):
MONSTER
• This monster nurses a broken limb from
prior battles
• Can be mistrusting, hypervigilant (on constant
“red alert”) and fear betrayal
• Often prefers to be alone, detaching itself from
others
(often those connected to prior battles)
• Prone to irritability or outbursts of anger, but
also has an ability to protect itself with emotional
numbness
TYPICAL MOVES
AND ATTACKS:
• FLASH-BACK ATTACK
Can overcome it’s opponent with intrusive, upsetting
visions
• TRIGGER ATTACK
A targeted attack that triggers intense physical
reactions when opponent is struck (includes
pounding heart, rapid breathing, nausea, muscle
tension, sweating)
• SHOCKPLAY
An impulse that causes feelings of intense distress
• BLIND-ATTACK
Can blind its opponent with a view of a limited future
TIPS TO TRAIN PTSD:
• AIM FOR 30 MINUTES OF ACTIVITY ON MOST DAYS
Start small, listen to your body and build gradually
• FIND ACTIVITIES THAT ARE FUN AND ENJOYABLE,
AND WORK FOR YOU
Anything from walking with a friend, to a group class,
DVD at home or try exercising in nature- a bushwalk,
or walk along the beach
• ACTIVITIES THAT PROMOTE MINDFULNESS AND
RELAXATION ARE GREAT
Think Tai chi, yoga, Pilates
• NOCTURNE ATTACK
Lulls the opponent to sleep and implants nightmare
seeds into their dreams
