In our everyday lives, any of us can have an experience that is shocking, overwhelming, frightening, and beyond our control. It could be as a result of a serious car crash, violent personal assault i.e. mugging, sexual assault, domestic violence, abuse or physical attack. Witnessing direct or indirect military combat, being diagnosed with a life threatening illness or being taken hostage are some of the many instances where PTSD can originate from.
The military, fire fighters, police or ambulance workers are more likely to witness such events but it can happen to any of us. Given time, most people recover without any long term issues and do not need extra help. For some this is not the case. Symptoms can develop from days, weeks to months, even years, after the event and the effects are very debilitating.
Symptoms of PTSD include recurrent memories or flashbacks of the trauma, nightmares, insomnia and/or lack of interest in family, friends or hobbies. Depression is not uncommon. They may also suffer from survivor guilt, have overwhelming emotions and can be irritable or nervous.
Using modern advanced NLP techniques, one example of which is Eye Movement Integration and, for some, can greatly assist in terminating symptoms. (The original techniques were formulated and refined by US psychologists who worked with Vietnam veterans). They are predictable and safe for the recipient.
