From the very beginning of my quest to overcome symptoms of posttraumatic stress, my goal was to be 100% free of them all. It never occurred to me to accept anything less.



Sure, there were days I thought I’d have to accept never getting better! But when I imagined the idea of ‘recovery’ I imagined if I could do it, it would mean I was no longer struggling with any of those pesky PTSD symptoms that drive us nuts. Achieving the goal of being 100% free is, I think, the biggest…

...... What would your answer to this question be...? President...? Senator...? Congressman....? How about Mayor, City Council, County Board member..... What if I were to tell you that the office of President was the "least" important race on election day...? I've been trying to point out to others and many, that your local elections are far more important than ANY National elections. All the focus has been placed on the National elections for so long now that many do not even bother to… Continue

A very exciting event occurrred recently: One of my clients had his final session with me and is now off to live a life that is free of PTSD symptoms. That’s right, free.

They believed this client couldn’t heal based on their assessment of the fact that PTSD had set… Continue

The couple said they paid cash… Continue

big lie than a small one, for they themselves often tell little lies,

but would be ashamed to tell big lies."

-- Adolf Hitler

(1889-1945) German Nazi Dictator

Recovering from trauma can feel like a full-time job – and it is! Coping, managing, seeking help, getting treatment, doing the work…. It’s a 24/7/365 kind of employment and you don’t have the luxury of leaving the office.



All of this makes it even more important that you schedule time off: Days when you give yourself a break from the usual work and get out of the recovery routine.



Taking the day off can mean deciding you won’t do any recovery assignments, you won’t have a… Continue
