An astonishingly large number of soldiers suffer, or will suffer, from the traumatizing effects of direct involvement in war--the VA anticipates that the rate of PTSD among Iraq troops will reach 35 percent--along with severe anxiety and depression, but many hesitate to get treatment out of shame at having to admit to severe emotional difficulties. In this workshop, you'll learn about a comprehensive model of mind-body healing that offers troops and veterans a supportive, nonstigmatizing approach that's been demonstrated to be highly successful in several large trials with traumatized populations. This approach is easily learned and applied, provides a powerful supportive structure for military personnel and their families, and includes specific techniques directly addressing symptoms of PTSD, depression, and anxiety. We'll have time to discuss how to integrate elements of this model in your own work with any traumatized adults and children, both within and outside the military.
