Your welcome Cindy, must appreciated for the feedback.
What some never think about, is that the content here is actually the content written by professionals within the industry, nothing new or exciting. What I and others have done here though, is removed the bullshit, removed the majority of nonesense that just doesn't work, applied a harder approach because that is what PTSD requires, and then laid it all out on the table for anyone who is sick of attending therapy year on year to take hold and use for themselves.
It makes me laugh how some people call think the content here is mine or just made up... very very wrong. The content and methods are those that have been used time and time again, the approach is the only thing that has changed here. I discuss certain things with physicians behind the scenes of the forum, and as a result of that you now have the mental health profession testing the very things which I use here in my approach, such as; how facing all your fears through exposure actually produces a near optimal outcome for a severe PTSD sufferer to actually re-engage society, social aspects and even part-time employment. All achieved in a specific way, specific time of healing, using my approach that has worked time and time again.
This forum is helping not only those who come here, but professionals are taking the methods applied here through approach to PTSD sufferers and studies to not redevelop the techniques that already exist and work, but simply re-engage the approach and application to a PTSD sufferer. The techniques and methods of CBT for example, they work great on someone who is being counselled for normal trauma, death of a loved one, etc etc.... works well with a person who actually does the techniques and pushes themselves hard in immediate therapy after an abnormal trauma, however; they don't work when used these ways with someone who has developed PTSD. Application needs amending which is what this forum implements and I did develop and publish here in all my posts and the information sections of the forum. There is a specific way in which you must approach healing PTSD, and therapists are picking it up from here and other places that use it because it works.
Again, all the knowledge is not new, just the approach and application of known knowledge and techniques.
People really do have to think about how they approach healing their PTSD. How many times have you read here that someone did EMDR for one or two sessions, then stopped going because it made them ill? Lots.... It is supposed to make you ill because that means its working. Its not supposed to give you brain damage which is a danger of EMDR on "some" trauma sufferers, though if experienced and done correctly, any such technique or method WILL make you ill when done right and applied correctly. If it didn't make you ill, then its not working. This is why people are in therapy for 10 years with little resolve, because they are not getting ill enough from being pushed hard enough. That sounds bad, but its a fact that you will get violently ill, on the edge of suicide even, your absolute worst ever, if you are pushed hard enough at your trauma. Then.... suddenly you come up and feel a huge relief. You will go up and down for usually the first month when pulling apart your biggest trauma, it will shake your world more than living it in the first place. But it works.... the long term results are proven here, they are now finding the same results from studies that are using the technique I found works.... it worked on me, it worked on mates of mine that I used it upon, it has worked on so many here who have used it and applied it correctly.
It will never work though on someone who really just wants to run away from their trauma when it all gets too hard. It will never work on a person who wants sympathy because they are ill or its too hard. It will never work on someone who denies there is an issue in general, their application of medication, self medicating, etc. It has a process..... if not done in order then it doesn't work. |
