Do you know someone who is stuck in their trauma recovery? In trauma recovery, transitioning is difficult for many when their identity has become rooted in their woundedness. Send your questions in to be answered in webinars posted for free on my YouTube Channel. #MHCTALKS begins on Twitter Thurs. Feb. 4 8-9 EST.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs Thanks for the post, Sir. It's unfortunate that some of those who are "stuck" in trauma recovery never make it out.

Yes in passing with an E-5 who could not defeat the guilt in his heart.

Luckily I do not know anyone in this situation. But I will keep your resource in mind if I ever come across someone like this.

Yes, I do, and I see it everyday. Go to any VA Medical Center and you can see them in the ER, and the CBOC-outpatient treatment, in the lobby, see them on the streets, I see them while reading their PTSD blogs. I share my personal experience and I listen to them and it seems to make the connection. A real problem is a lot of the mental health treatments are in a group setting. A lot of Veterans have been asking for years requesting for individual psycho therapy. The problem is the therapists do not what to hear about "the details" of the incident, or personal experience. The clinicians do not want to hear about the evil, the demons in detail. The Therapists are afraid of it the
soldiers baggage in their rutsack.
