Abstract
Self-control is an interesting and timely topic in the mental health field. It is important to
understand that self-control is an essential key to success in life and is the central function of self
(Baumeister, Vohs, & Tice, 2007). Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder stems from a traumatic event,
but trauma is in the eye of the beholder. Something that may have been traumatic for someone
may not be the same for the next person. After many years of studying self-control, Baumeister
(2007) found that it is a set of regulatory skills that can deteriorate over time from repeated
exertions. This paper will examine the relationship between adaptive self-control and PTSD
symptoms. Patients with PTSD often suppress their symptoms leading to long-term health issues.
Moreover, the ways in which one can cope with their traumatic intrusions. Meditation practices
have been expected to reduce physiological arousal symptoms.
