I presented to a group of intelligence advisers during a meeting at the Naval Intelligence Building in Arlington VA back in early 2002 and predicted exactly what was going to happen to soldiers relating to PTSD in the upcoming war and why it would be much worse than previous wars.
There’s a big difference between feeling you were “Just following orders” and “Taking personal responsibility for everything you do” in a combat situation.
It’s obvious when you step back and look at the bigger picture.
I’ve had pretty good success at totally removing PTSD from combat, rape and other traumas in one session of a few minutes. A similar technique works well with parents who have lost children and can’t get over the pain of the loss.
Emotional trauma is not that hard to heal once you locate the perceptual programming memory which often occurred prior to the actual trauma and was just applied to the larger more traumatic event.
Please note, there is a huge difference between healing a trauma and blocking the ability to retrieve it. Drugs merely block.
Do you still counsel? I thought the 25% of PTSD sufferers was due to fetal growth and mother stress but interestingly I read that Britain’s soldiers suffer at only 5%. Could be their mum’s temperaments or definitions but I am going to do a world wide by nationality search.
The thought of your presentation is making my monitor go blurry because only now are they taking precautionary training measures. We have lost so many precious people to suicide that this late response is so horrendous. Also, since Extortion 17, the suicide rate among our Special Ops members has proven that (yes, Hillary) for them, including Benghazi, it made a big difference. I believe it is the straw.
If you still counsel, could you private message me and I will keep you on file?
