Dawn Treader, thanks for the welcome.
I am a retired US Army Vet who suffers from PTSD. I had a very traumatic experience due to a gang rape. I have a serious problem with Jodi not recalling the most significant part of her proclaimed "self defence". It is true that your brain will block out portions of a traumatic event but you still would be able to recall certain elements of the event.
She remembers shooting him only because she had to explain where the gun came from but she cannot elaborate on stabbing him because she would have to admit that she brought the knife with her. It has already been establish that no knife from Travis's home was used in the killing.
Thank you for your service and I'm sorry about your PTSD. I treat returning Vets with PTSD for free in my practice and started an organization that offers these services for free. OT but thought I'd share.

Oh and ON topic, Jodi's descriptions of this event do not line up with any ptsd I've been aware of. The over memory and distinct lack of memory then immediate heightened awareness of feeling. It doesn't line up to me either.
