Ugh, I dislike autoplay videos. Good message though.

That is great if true. Soldiers with PTSD often need a safe place to go to.

I’m pre 9-11 mine happened in ‘77.. it started out as serious and went Down the scale to moderate.. when mine happened it was classed as a “closed-head injury“. I went to some sessions, they asked us for our Driver licenses... I had come that day
On the DAV van and still needed them to sign off.... so my story that I didn’t have one was accepted ... I’d found at another session then guys didn’t get their license
Back.. and had a hard time requalifying..
I was determined they wouldn’t get mine..
after a few more sessions I didn’t go anymore.. it was voluntary, so no worries..
I thought then the VA called... Mom told them to talk to me.. Dad took the phone and said he doesn’t want to come anymore and hung up.. and they didn’t bother mr any
More about it.. that was back in ‘83..

As w/ other provider alerts appearing on this platform, as a clinician w/ over 40+ yrs. I suggest you proceed w/ caution since I find some of these providers as over-estimating the impact of their interventions. They seem more to me as advertisements and promos.

There were times when I felt like all the king's men couldn't put me back together.
