Real Help for Veterans

 

 



One out of five veterans suffers from post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD).  Symptoms vary in intensity but even the mildest can interfere severely with the peace of mind and heart of men and women who have served our country in war.

 

In November 2013, The Contra Costa Times/San Jose Mercury News published an editorial by Harry Croft, MD, a psychiatrist who has worked with over 7,000 veterans diagnosed with PTSD, and Sydney Savion, EdD, a retired military officer and applied behavioral scientist.  In the article, originally published on November 8, 2013 in the San Diego Union-Tribune, these two experts outlined four myths about PTSD. 

Myth #4 is significant:  There is nothing that can be done to treat the condition.  Once you get it, you got it and there's just very little that can be done for you.  Not true at all!

 

Unfortunately, the writers did not elaborate on what can be done.  So let me fill-in that gap.

 

It is well-documented that Energy Psychology therapies such as The Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and The Tapas Acupressure Technique (TAT) yield outstanding results in alleviating the symptoms of PTSD not only for veterans but civilians caught up such in traumatic events such as the 9/11 World Trade Center bombing, Hurricane Katrina and the Boston Marathon bombing.  

 

Why isn't every Veterans Administration therapist trained in energy psychology?  Why aren't the energy therapies widely acknowledged as the go-to treatments for PTSD?  The answer lies in the tremendous power of certain well-funded associations of conventional psychologists who have been blocking such recognition. 

 

We owe our veterans our very best resources and support as well as our thanks.  If you know any veterans who are struggling with the symptoms of PTSD, please tell them about the powerful Energy Psychology techniques that can help them get their lives back.  www.energpsych.org has more info.
