Brain Chemistry and PTSD
PTSD is all about brain chemistry and what happens to the brain during and immediately after the critical, traumatic incident. Essentially, the chemicals that flood the brain during the trauma do so in order to help the person to survive the event, either by running away, or fighting furiously. A third option, to submit to the trauma also has brain chemistry implications. In some individuals, once the brain goes through this chemical ‘rewiring’ to survive the trauma, the wiring stays that way.

Sample Chapter from: 'Gentling: a Practical Guide to Treating PTSD in Abused Children'
5 The Stress Episode As therapists, one of our major tools is our words. Most adults, when they witness a child who is severely upset over what appears to not want to follow a directive, will label the behavior a “tantrum”, or at best “acting out”. In most cases, this is a fairly accurate term for the behavior that the child is exhibiting. When a stress disordered child engages in similar behaviors, the source and quality of the behaviors will be different at different times.

The Gentling Approach to PTSD in Abused Children
Perhaps the most notable flaw in all of the current treatment methods of treating children for stress disorders, including acute stress and post traumatic stress, is that they are modeled largely on the experiences and diagnostic criteria of adults. Not much treatment development has been made from existing research about the bio-chemical nature of stress disorders to address alte ate models for specific treatment of children.

Nights of the Werewolf

Healing Trauma and PTSD SYMPTOMS NOW! (without drugs and years of “therapy”)
Breaking the Trauma-Anxiety-Anger PTSD symptom Loopr You have read all about it in the tabloids, newspapers and on-line news and entertainment sources… Celebrity relationship melt-downs, due to their inability to respond appropriately to repeated trauma-related anxiety that suddenly looms up from the past. While we “look up” to celebrities in many areas of life, such as sports, entertainment, politics and other public venues, they are just “regular people” on the inside, dealing with the lessons of life, both current and from their past.r

Problems With the Use of Traditional Behavior Modification Techniques in Treating PTSD in Children
The use of traditional behavior modification techniques with stress disordered children needs to be done with caution and extra care. The issue of the primary source of the child’s behaviors needs to take precedence over simply “pressing on” with behavior modification techniques. The key indicator to the clinical team treating the child is that they will find the child’s behaviors getting much worse despite using behavioral methods that should be working. This initially can be mistaken as an “extinction burst”, and the team may be motivated to apply more behavior modification pressure.

*** How PTSD Impacts Men and Women Differently

Writing Your Own Subliminal Messages or Affirmations
Subliminal messages in the form of affirmation are some of the best methods to overcome several life issues, from physical to mental health. Sometimes you just want to have them to maintain excellent disposition or outlook about life. Moreover, you have the power to create your own subliminal messages or affirmation. This is excellent since there’s no one else who better knows your current crises than yourself (despite of what professionals may tell you). This can also be a good test on how severe the issues are.

PTSD – The Battle After The War.
We have lost another hero in a very sad and enraged PTSD episode. Staff Sergeant Jason Pemberton, who was a U.S. Army sniper and served with the 82nd Airbo e Division for two deployments in Iraq, killed his 25-year old wife and himself February 4th, 2012. His wife, 25 year old Tiffany Pemberton, was found dead from a gunshot wound in the living room, while Jason Pemberton was dead in the bedroom about 10 feet away, from what reports say was a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head from a rifle.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): What You Need To Know To Take Back Control
Sometimes, we survive an experience so horrific and beyond the boundaries of our coping skills that we get stuck in the moment of the tragedy. That’s what happened to me in 1981. I was just a thirteen year old girl taking an antibiotic for a common infection. The next thing I knew, I was struggling to survive an illness so rare none of my doctors had ever seen a case. Almost ove ight I turned into a full-body burn patient and the medical community didn’t know what to do.

Daughters In The Love
I feel it is an honor and a privilege to have a daughter or more. The more the better (within reason) to adore! As a mother of two daughters, I recollect and reflect on happiness. I try not to think about having to clean their rooms from an unkept mess. Fond is the memory of each one’s birth as their toes were counted from one to ten. Visitors were ward off from coming too close, like an anxious mother hen. Long were the nights kept rocking and nursing at regular intervals, too. Try not to remember those sleepless nights that made us blue.

Caeayaron Says To Wake Up Because The Great Father Is Calling
Let us start by identifying just who is the Great Father, okay? He is the Creator or the Great I AM that has been hidden away. You may wonder at this statement as to who hid who in disguise. The answer is the god of this world is not the Great Father in the skies. That tiny entity acts like the Coo Coo bird by putting his eggs in another nest! He steals others life force energy that is pure light, and should be under arrest. Out of envy he abused the sacred trust he was given to guard the people, too. This one corroborated with the darkest force, and has a nick name for a clue.r

PTSD Is Dead So Now It Is Time To Live
It started with a dream showing letters written to me. The angels were spelling the word “Kyron”, you see. It did not make any sense to combine the letters this way. Then the thought came to look it up on the Internet one day. At first a gentle speaking man appeared with that name, so I watched him three times. Even though he caught my attention at first, another channel rang my chimes! The first man I realized after listening was not really giving much information. It was only when I watched the other (who is a woman speaking contemplation.)

Make PTSD A Faded Memory
Let us take an imaginary, hypothetical journey together, you see. Actually, this is something that is really happening to me. Although, if it could happen to myself the circumstances could be yours, too. It involves looking down on our everyday lives, examining what keeps us blue. This will take a little time for the imagery to take form in each individual mind. Let us propose that we were born with a preset, contract of a particular kind. Those of us who have traveled life’s journey more than once will be more aware.r

PTSD Battle Skills
Each experience that we survive through brings a solid skill. We need to celebrate that PTSD only wounded us, but did not kill! The battle over our minds is the stronghold of the evil enemy. Let us beware of thoughts that negate love, while filled with envy. We must remember that Creator gave us a free-will, and shall not interfere. He will use our bad choices, only not sin to put His glory into gear. Genesis 50:20 puts this meaning into reverse as, “you meant evil against me.” Such is revealed when contemplating on how the Great Father meant it for good, you see.

PTSD Blocked Emotions Have Run Out Of Time
This titled message is not just for those of us going through PTSD. It is time to recognize the signs Creator has given to you, and me. Scripture coincides these signs called, “Trumpets” in the book of Revelation. The book of Daniel eerily gives the same reference coordination. How awesome Creator is, was, and will be forever more with insight! He is timeless, where He knows our beginnings, and ending plight. Too bad that our world has come to this final state of judgement. The beginning stage of sorrows will culminate like birth-pains sent.

PTSD Ending Has A Price
I guess we should identify what we need to get rid of when we want to unshackle ourselves from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD.) That is, the things we need to emotionally throw over-board in order to be able to steer our spiritual ship steady. I was reminded of this analogy when reading about how the Apostle Paul was on his prison ship going to Rome when the ship got in a storm.

PTSD Is Like Gray Clouds
There are light, gray clouds in the sky (that really effect the soul.) They are not really clouds at all, but dark forces with an evil goal! Such awful covering over the blue sky binds those with PTSD, too. One cannot reach the coat of joyfulness while grayness dampens through. The news media focuses on negative events that they skew. Many such reporters, quite frankly, do not have credence, or a clue. This is so wide spread in throughout the world, yet people do not see. Such are too tired, stressed, and busy to worry what the future might be.

Changing PTSD Raiment With The Seasons Of Life
What we with PTSD need to consider for healing is a seasonal, changing strategy. Without a constant attention to where we are, our progress becomes a tragedy! The things like protective mechanisms may no longer be advantageous. Those emotions of anger, and fear prevented us from becoming courageous. Part of our emotional, self-overhaul comes from our internal perspective, too. Perhaps, we may feel we have gotten on in age for a dream to come true. This proliferates becoming bitter, and jealous of other people’s accomplishments.r

PTSD Closes Open Doors
Think earnestly, even if our life’s PTSD experience has taught us to be mean. To continue to mistreat others this way, we only allow misery to glean. By persisting to act out old behavior, we deprive ourselves, too. Instead of moving forward, we endorse what has made us blue! We react to being threatened with misdirected anger to new situations. As we apply old, unspoken rules life endures with complications. With this kind of malicious thinking we become frozen in our past. The little successes we struggled to make (most certainly) do not last.

PTSD Healing Is Not Free
We should beware of merchants offering their goods for free. Examine their motives, with strings attached, for healing PTSD. Satan, and his demons are a type of merchant with strings, too. He may suggest taking the easy way out in suicide, which is true. Doctors, and therapists may make referrals for insurance to pay. Their advice may be full of fluff, without substance, per say. Speaking from my own traumatic experience, healing takes time. It took years for me to be ready to face my issues in Divine rhyme! The difference is that there were not professional people to help.r

Sing PTSD Away For A Happy New Year
The song with words, “Should old acquaintance be forgot” applies here. Those of us with PTSD need to do so in order for healing to truly adhere. New Year’s day is anytime we begin to reflect on how we can smother sorrow. For instance, “What can we get rid of today to proliferate a better tomorrow?” A good habit to use is what we learned in language class at grade school. Reflecting on asking ourselves the, “Who, what, when, where, why” thought tool. All of the above five can mirror the “old acquaintance to be forgotten,” you see.r

Walk PTSD Out Of Life’s Closed Doors
What a strange concept, that seems to pull away from reality. It will make more sense, if we connect PTSD to emotions of carnality. Okay, let us give these emotions a face describing the following list. The carnal man or woman connects to fear, anger, worry, stress, and lust. In reference to such connections we with PTSD disconnect with Spirit. We may be stretching our mind forward (with great therapeutic effort.) There are several kinds of services to try to get our minds filled with some peace. The truth is that, if we do not connect to the Spirit of peace, we have no release.r

When working with SBT, psychotherapy clients focus on strengths rather than on weaknesses; the present rather than the past.
