You've probably been as heartbroken as I have over the news stories about our men and women returning from war with PTSD, or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. The news reports have focused mostly on those returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, but there are still thousands more who are veterans of Bosnia, Viet Nam, and other conflicts.
The suicide rate among soldiers seems to be at an all-time high and still climbing. And sadly, it seems that the resources available to our returning (and serving) soldiers just aren't adequate to meet the need. Even sadder, no-one suffers from PTSD alone - the families are innocent victims as well. Rarely is the person who returns from combat the same as the person who left, and loved ones don't know what to do, how to relate, how to help, and they generally just don't know how to cope.
EFT has been a huge help with vets, lots of times succeeding where nothing else worked. Now, I'm a Native American pastoral counselor, not a medical doctor or a psychologist, but I know EFT and I've used it for a number of conditions with really astonishing success. I'd like to make this technique available to vets, and I'm looking for volunteers who'd like to work with me. I'll offer treatment at no charge for a limited number of veterans while I conduct a study of the effectiveness of EFT on PTSD symptoms.
If you're a returning vet, or even if you're still in active service, or you know someone who is and would like to try an experiment that just might get them past the nightmare of PTSD symptoms, please call and we'll get started. I can't guarantee success, but I can guarantee that I'll work with everyone without judging, with total respect, and with love, compassion, and completely confidentially.
