Helping Veterans Who Have Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome

In a previous post we talked about Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD) and the positive impact Neurofeedback can have in treating this debilitating condition. 

Here at IntraLife Performance Center, we've had great success in treating Veterans with PTSD! Here is a testimonial from the wife of one of our PTSD clients:

"Shortly after my husband returned from his 7 month deployment to Afghanistan, I noticed changes in his mood and his sleeping.  He was easily irritated and often fell into moods of depression with little provocation.  It was frustrating for both of us because he didn't know what was causing them and I didn't know how to help him out these moods.  A few nights a week, I would wake to him thrashing and trying to yell out in his sleep.  I felt helpless until he started Neurofeedback at IntraLife Performance Center.  Within a few weeks of treatment, his nightmares stopped almost all together and within a couple months, they stopped completely.  I noticed his whole personality shift back to what it was pre-deployment.  He was less irritable and happier.  I know Neurofeedback was the right answer for him and I'm so grateful we got the help he needed."

If you or someone you know is suffering from PTSD, especially service men and women, please let them know that they are not alone and that there is help!

For more information about Neurofeedback and how it can help PTSD, please visit Homecoming For Veterans, a non-profit organization that IntraLife Performance is a part of. It is just a small way we can give back to those who have given and continue to give to our country.

P.S. Here is another great article HERE that talks more about Neurofeedback as a lifeline for military members suffering from PTSD. Check it out!

What is PTSD and How to Treat It

When people think of Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD) they often think of military men and women. Although these are people who commonly have this disorder, people can also have it after having a traumatizing experiences such as abuse, illness, or being in a car accident. According to helpguide.org, people who suffer from PTSD experience it differently, however, there tends to be three main symptoms:

1. Re-experiencing the traumatic event.
2. Avoiding Reminders of the event.
3. Increased anxiety and emotional arousal.

PTSD can be frightening and overwhelming. The great news is that there is an option that can treat it. That option is neurofeedback. Here is a video from EEG Info that discusses what PTSD is and how neurofeedback can be a source of healing. Enjoy! 

P.S. EEG Info has an organization called Homecoming for Veterans. It is a national outreach program to provide free neurofeedback training to veterans for the rehabilitation of PTSD. Check it out! http://www.homecoming4veterans.org/
