Happy Memorial Day

Did you know that there have been more than 6,000 Veteran suicides every year since 2008?

-

In fact, we have lost over 100,000 veterans to suicide since the start of our current war. This war started in 2001 has claimed (according to the Department of Defense) 7,047 US military serviceperson lives.

-

The sacrifices that these individuals make don’t end when they leave the battlefields or the barracks.

-

PTSD only became a diagnosable disorder in 1980. Those that were suffering, had to do so silently.

-

40 years later, we know that there is now hope. Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) are the only currently accepted forms of evidence based practice in treating PTSD.

-

I am one of the growing field of EMDR practitioners and am here should you or anyone you know have any questions. Anything you message me will be confidential.

-

Whether it’s through my services, or help getting linked I’m here for you.

-

There is a dire need to get these brave veterans support for their own personal battles when they return home.

-

Thank you to those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms.
