Abstract
Traumatic events often leave a person with fear. Fear that is allowed to continue without realizing it will become a mental disorder called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD sufferers find it very difficult to escape from the bonds of their past trauma. Therefore, self-healing is needed as a solution to the disorder. This study aims to describe the self-healing process of PTSD in the novel The Woman in Cabin 10. The research method used was qualitative with a trauma theory approach. Based on the results of the research, it can be seen that the special characteristics of PTSD in Laura's character were re-experiencing traumatic experiences (re-experiencing), avoiding feelings of fear (avoidance), and suffering from excessive anxiety (hyperarousal). The self-healing effort in Laura's character was done by fighting self-fear and motivational help from others. Self-healing is an effort to prove yourself and try to break the stereotype of PTSD.
