Don’t Wait for the Government to Help Veterans Struggling with PTSD
More than 400 veterans or their family members responded to our Veterans Day offer to download for free our 4-hour Energy Psychology video training program. The appreciative comments we have received were poignant and gratifying.
There is hope.
Energy Psychology is proving to be an effective treatment for PTSD.Warfare leaves psychic scars on everyone involved — soldiers, their families, entire civilian populations. We are deeply committed to making the most powerful therapies in existence widely available. The fact that therapies that understand the energetic dimension of trauma are proving to be among the most effective is gratifying, but it also places a greater sense of responsibility on us. Having been repeatedly rebuffed, we are hopeful that the new administration in the V.A. will prove more open.
A group that has not waited for institutional support is the Veteran’s Stress Project. They have rolled up their sleeves, gotten 300 therapists or life coaches who are trained in Energy Psychology (generally EFT) to join their efforts, and they have provided free or low-cost Energy Psychology treatments to more than 7,000 veterans.
While they cannot guarantee that every veteran who participates in their program will be helped, the most promising research on treating PTSD is based on tracking a sample of their participants. Of those, 86% went from above the PTSD cutoff on the military version of a standardized symptom inventory to below the cutoff after just six sessions.
If you know a veteran who is struggling with PTSD, you might suggest that he or she watch the 10-minute video clip, which shows excerpts from the successful treatment undergone by four military veterans. If they want to learn more about the approach being demonstrated, the Veteran’s Stress Project is a potent resource.
