"I was admitted to treatment shortly after and my road to recovery began. Once I graduated, I knew I wanted to give back. So I began volunteering at a Toronto treatment centre. Seventeen years later, I’ve had experience dealing with process addictions (i.e. gambling, eating disorders, sex addictions, PTSD) and substance addictions. I’ve lectured at universities and in communities across Ontario."

This is the first time I've heard PTSD be referred to as "process addiction." Can you explain how PTSD is an addiction versus a response to trauma? I don't mean equating addiction with a response to trauma; I mean how do you get to PTSD being referred to as "process addiction"?

Completely agree. I think it should be deleted too. No helpful information; just generic drivel.
