Scott, don't get me wrong here, your stress from military service is an issue, but its not what your brain is showing as the primary issue. Sorry, but your sub-conscious doesn't lie. Your conscious believes its all about Bosnia, as your admission above, based on your nightmares, however; your sub-conscious is saying that your actual trauma that is affecting you the most right now, is that off which happened to you between ages 6 - 8, not as an adult.

That sounds good that they help you with both, but I will tell you, I believe your barking up the wrong tree with what to treat as a priority. Your admission again above, "I've tried to put that past to the back of my mind" just continues to clarify the real issue. Your in denial, for a better term, of what the real issue is that is currently affecting you.

We all do what your doing Scott, we all look in what we perceive to be the problem areas, but what we think and what our sub-conscious thinks, are two very different things. Our logical brain, being a conscious, does not affect us overtly compared to our non-logical brain, sub-conscious.
