Veteran’s Day has recently passed but the problems that some veterans bring home from the battlefield have not.  Some have physical wounds but others have wounds that modern medicine cannot address – wounds of the mind and the heart.  These wounds can have far reaching effects on their lives causing difficulty with marital relationships, their ability to establish and maintain a career, or they may live in constant states of fear and stress and suffer from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).

 

Soldier with PTSD

 

Each veteran responds to their war time experiences differently and some can handle the traumas of war better than others.  For those that have difficulty, there is help.  It is not a pill, or a medical procedure.  It is EFT

 

EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques.  Some people know it as Tapping.  This remarkable alternative therapy has helped thousands of veterans heal the emotional scars of trauma allowing them to live happier, fulfilling, lives.

 

The Veterans Stress Project offers free or low-cost EFT sessions to help veterans with PTSD relieve the effects of trauma and get their lives back.  The Veterans Stress Project is an initiative of the National Institute for Integrative Healthcare (NIIH), a nonprofit research and teaching institution not affiliated with the government or any religious group.

 

NIIH has conducted many scientific studies of EFT and has shown that 8 out of 10 veterans who go through the Veterans Stress Project, completing 6 one-hour sessions of EFT, no longer test positive for PTSD.  They find almost immediate relief that is long-lasting.

 

Gary Craig, founder of EFTTo compare these results to traditional psychotherapy, the founder of the EFT process, Gary Craig, was able to work with some Vietnam veterans back in the 1980s.  Despite receiving psychotherapy sessions at Veterans Hospitals,  these veterans had been suffering from PTSD for 30 years.

 

In one weekend of EFT sessions, Gary Craig was able to relieve their PTSD symptoms.  One weekend.

 

Those with PTSD may exhibit one or more of these symptoms:

 

Nightmares                                        Poor Concentration

Guilt                                                   Short Term Memory Loss

Intrusive Memories                           Helplessness

Poor Judgment                                 Depression

Survivor Guilt                                     Hopelessness

Flashbacks                                          Apathy

Insomnia                                             Ulcers

Anxiety                                                  Arthritis

Avoidance                                           Physical Pains

Startle Response                              Mistrust

Poor Self-Esteem                             Isolation
