Re: On PTSD (Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder [everyone has it])
Greetings, everyone--
Another way: Guided Imagery (Hypnosis)
Invisible Heroes--Survivors of Trauma and How They Heal, by Belleruth Naparstek, 2004
From the book cover:
"Drawing on more than thirty years' experience . . . Naparstek presents a clinically proven program for recovery using the potent tool of guided imagery. She reveals how guided imagery goes straight to the right side of the brain, where it impacts the nonverbal wiring of the nervous system itself, the key to alleviating suffering."
"Important insights into how the brain and body respond to trauma, why conventional talk therapy can actually impede recovery, and why the nonverbal, image-based right brain is crucial to healing."
"A step-by-step program with more than twenty scripts for guided-imagery exercises tailored to the three stages of recovery, from immediate relief of anxiety attacks, flashbacks, nightmares, and insomnia, to freedom from depression and isolation, to renewed engagement with life."
She used to do talk therapy with her PTSD patients and then she realized that, not only were they not getting better, they were being re-traumatized!
I personally haven't made use of Naparstek's information, but I know guided imagery is incredibly powerful, and this gal knows her stuff.
Peace Love Joy & Harmony,
Genevieve

Waky, EFT didn't work for me either, and I didn't like to do it. TRE is totally different. You don't have to forgive anyone, except maybe yourself. If some past emotional stuff comes to the surface, of course you have to accept it long enough to let it shake off. You just allow the involuntary tremoring to take you over, like animals do naturally, and people do too unless they try to stop it.
You can read a bunch of reviews at : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/189...=ATVPDKIKX0DER
You can also buy the book at amazon, but the dvd or video download in my previous post is better for learning how to do the exercises properly.
