A Question for Veterans with PTSD

Description

I've been asked by a number of veterans in the past to put together something that would help warriors suffering with PTSD. This time, when a Navy veteran asked me, I took it more seriously, and want to reach out to all of you to ask what, for you, would really make a difference. Please share any ideas.

Video Transcription

greetings this video is specifically for that we're suffering with PTSD or if you know a veteran who is suffering with PTSD so in the past I have been approached by a number of veterans to put together some kind of a a program or a challenge camp or something that would help veterans to come and find a way to transform what's going on inside of them I've in the past have just stayed away from that because I felt like I was not qualified obviously I am NOT a psychiatrist and our psychologist and I absolutely have not seen or experienced anything like the horrors of war so recently another veteran approached me and asked me about this again and I began to think about it more seriously I went on to the he suggested I go on to the military mines Facebook group and website and and there I started to learn why some veterans are are not turning towards Orthodox treatment methods and you know where veterans are feeling like those treatment methods are failing them and and I started to think you know I do I do have some very unique in different ways of of approaching our mental health of approaching transforming resistance inside of us fears inside of us frustration anxieties so I'm not saying I'm going to do this but I do want to reach out to veterans and ask you if there was going to be something created that would be your just your your go to kind of dream program whatever that would look like you know with this how long would it be would it be a week long would it be a weekend long would it be a month long why what would be involved would it be challenge based where you're facing really strong challenges and learn to transform things within that context would it have just a lot of campfire talks you know obviously some of the aspects I'm aware of you know there has to be an atmosphere of mutual respect the eye opening for me on the middle military mines website was to see you know people talking about they they faced such incredible incredible challenges and horrors but they've done that as as a warfighter they've done that as someone who is strong and expected to be strong and then you go into this treatment and you're expected to just be completely vulnerable and give yourself over to somebody who often isn't even listening to you and isn't really willing to to understand that even that first step of walking in into somebody's office is is a huge challenge so that's my question for you what would this look like if I was going to put something together what do you think would really be life-changing for you what would really make a difference and from those suggestions I'm just gonna think about this more carefully and more realistically and see if if something could be created so that's my request please share in the comments any thoughts any ideas and also educate me you know tell me what treatment have not worked for you what have worked for you share anything thank you my friends
