The Four Over One Breakdown

But what does the four and one mean?

There is significance to why we identify as a coupled number. To start, there are Four (4) different ways to comprise PTSD according to big brains like the National Institute of Health (NIH), Mayo Clinic, and Physciatry.org. These categories are Avoidance, Intrusive Memory, Negative Thinking, and Arousal, better known as Physical and Emotional Reactions. 

It only takes one of these to be a person suffering from PTSD, and we wanted to make this abundantly clear. Just like any fraction, anything over One (1) is a whole and some of us are living with Four (4) times the impact. Knowing this, we wanted to design a way to show PTSD can be and is as little as One (1) or up to Four (4) categories. Hence, Four Over One. 

The Big four
