When you go online, you see the same definition on every website, and it’s not even a definition. It’s not an explanation. It’s just a list of symptoms with the implication that you have to have all of them or you have nothing. Unlike your therapist or doctor, I have actually talked to thousands of people with PTSD. I also have it myself. This is the definition that I came up with: Your brain has adjusted in a healthy way to an unhealthy situation and now you have a lot of adrenaline, which helps you to be on your toes, ready for anything, but it also never really goes away, which can make ..read more

Trauma can be caused by a single event, such as witnessing violence and death, or repeated events like abuse. Trauma changes our brains and makes it difficult for us to function normally. Rapid Eye Movement Therapy (REMT) can treat trauma. In REMT, the sufferer’s eyes move from left to right and foster higher levels of connection between the logical and emotional (fight or flight) sides of the brain. Rapid Eye Movement Therapy helps overcome the fear of a traumatic event at the deepest levels within the brain. It works by getting the brain’s right (emotional) side to listen to the (logical) l ..read more

During my career as a Psychologist, I have had the privilege of interviewing over 5,000 people with PTSD. While I conduct psych evaluations, one of the questions I always ask my clients is, “Have you ever been prescribed medication for your PTSD, and do you feel it helped you?” Why do I ask this? I am genuinely curious!  Because as a PTSD sufferer myself who has been prescribed over 17 different psych meds, I’ve never personally found relief in any of these medications. But doctors prescribe them, so they must be safe, and effective right?  Maybe, maybe not, but what we know f ..read more

Conventional talk therapy is good for some things, but sorely lacking in my opinion in that it engages the left, logical brain and not the emotional, fight or flight brain that is the province of PTSD. EMDR was the first therapy to make use of horizontal eye movements, although some would argue that it started 150 years ago with the stereotypical swinging of a watch to induce hypnosis. Waji’s use of eye movements is borrowed from EMDR, but it uses them much more strategically to interface directly with the right side of the brain. I believe that EMDR misses golden opportunities to have great ..read more

Why Even Science Cannot Explain PTSD?  By Dr. David Bonanno  For years now the hot topic in psychology has been PTSD. But who can say what PTSD is? Go online to any website and you’ll see the same vague rhetoric that does not even amount to a definition.  The best you can find is just a list of symptoms. I talk all the time to different people who have massive PTSD and barely understand it for themselves. Sadly, most therapists and doctors do not get it. Most people believe that PTSD is only for combat veterans or people who survive t ..read more

I know a lot of people think talk therapy is the answer to all their problems. But I want you to in-depth understand why this doesn’t work for PTSD and usually leaves them feeling worse off than before they started going through these motions over again thinking about what could’ve, would have or should happen next! A therapist telling us “just let go” or giving different perspective on how we are feeling does not fix anything. You just can’t change the past. Going over and over the worst events of your life just doesn’t resolve anything. I know you’ve been through it all in your head 1000s ..read more

Are you tough? If you have PTSD, there are two routes you can take: You can talk about it and try to get help, or you can tough it out. Ironically, the people who can control their emotions more, end up being less in control of their lives in the long run. Veterans and first responders are some of the toughest people around. AND they are much more likely to be divorced, addicted, violent, and suicidal than the rest of the population. Why is that? To answer this question, we need to look at compartmentalization. That’s when someone dissociates from their emotions. It’s not inherently bad, a ..read more
