ptsd

[BARNETT WEISS]

Dear JOhn:
PTSD of the  worst sort is definitely treatable. I trained with Francine Shapiro who developed EMDR and saw the worst cases of PTSD handled in sometimes one session. In fact, the early research on the method showed rather amazing results with Vietnam Vets and for example a woman who had become agoraphobic as she was gang raped while protecting her daughter who lay under her at the time. This method was also signed on to enthusiastically by the grandfather of the PTSD treatment protocols, Dr. Volpe, as well as many of the heads of the VA treatment programs. I have worked also with NLP in dealing with PTSD.  I really think that a combination of some of the NLP work isolating first one sense and then another building them using something like the mirror technique so as to keep the person out of the scene is some of the best way to work. 
In addition, John Payne www.johnlpayne.com  of South Africa in his work with transgenerational Family Constellations has handled some things that literally defy description, Moreover in the process, it becomes possible to end the victim victimizer process and to see the humanity behind all of this and so it gets integrated in a totally different way. 
Good luck with all, Blessings, BUd Weiss

What is you take: Is it incurable and only treatable by teaching coping shills? John Matteson Grouptalk mailing list
