Saw your video and loved it. Great information on Understanding and Treating Chronic Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. You should consider making a course on this. There is site out there called topointc.com. I guess they allow you to post your course for free and every time a student takes your course you get paid. I think your material would do great on a site like that.
