Patrick Weichert and other psychologists who specialize in counseling military veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder have helped many women veterans to develop coping mechanisms to help them regain control over their lives. For women in the military, exposure to terrifying and disturbing events increases substantially due to their involvement in combat itself; however, many female soldiers develop PTSD because of the sexual assault they suffer at the hands of fellow soldiers.
