PTSD Treatment
That You Can Do On Your Own

This ptsd treatment is in your hands. These are skills and techniques you can learn and use on your own to be in charge of your own healing.

You don't have to suffer in silence any more. This is no miracle cure or quick fix, but in many cases it really does work very well.

Military veterans and others with PTSD symptoms have used and benefited from these techniques that you can do in the comfort of your own home, with or without professional support and consultation.

You have nothing to lose by trying! Let's get started.

PTSD Treatment Number One

Based on the research of Dr. James Pennebaker of the University of Texas at Austin, this approach has been found to be effective for easing and alleviating ptsd symptoms for military vets and others dealing with post traumatic stress disorder.

Here are the basic steps to follow:

• This activity needs to be done in private, where there will be no interruptions.


• The journaling process is described here, and it basically consists of writing a detailed account of any and all trauma that you have experienced.


• As much specific detail as possible is very helpful in the writing. You need to write for at least 15 minutes at a time, daily over several weeks, until all of the past trauma is described.


• This gives the "languaging" part of your brain access to the part of your brain that is storing the emotional trauma, providing healing and resolution.

This type of ptsd treatment is not necessarily easy or fast. But then, there's really nothing easy about ptsd to begin with.

Our goal is to give you some do-it-yourself methods for managing and healing your ptsd symptoms without spending a lot of money or taking strong medications. Here is your chance to become your own best anger management resource.

PTSD Treatment Number Two

This imagery technique goes right along with the journaling process described above. Once you have written a full, detailed account of what happened and how you felt during it, it's time for some emotional healing.

These ptsd treatments work, if you use them. Like any tools, they are useless if you don't. And also like any other tools, the more you use them the better they will work for you.
