Healing PTSD with Ed Tick

Dr Ed Tick talks about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), its epidemic levels, and the devastating effects it has on the lives of our veterans, and his work to help returning veterans heal from these wounds.

Soldier's Heart was formed to heal the wounds of war, educate our communities about the trauma of war, and help veterans re-integrate with their families and communities.

I have been addressing soul pain following trauma since 1999. I developed training programs on how to heal the soul pain of trauma which I deliver to professionals nationally and internationally. I have two books on this topic Journey to the Sacred: Mending a Fractured Soul and Setting the Captive Free, two award winning videos Listening to Soul Pain and Healing Soul Pain.

Thank you for all you do, Dr.

Also - despite my hate of war I can still love the warrior.

ScreamKat: also having grown up with trauma and abuse I can look back some years ago when I thought as you do. At some point I realized that even though I did not create the wound in my heart, it was MY wound to heal. At this time people are returning from the battlefield with very grave physical and psychological trauma. My friend's son was impacted in this way. It is painful to even begin imagining the pain associated with having a limb ripped off, at the same time being permanently blinded.

This brings tears to my eyes at 8:13 as he speaks to the veterans.

@belovedsugarplum- nobody has forgotten the orphans or the families affected by war. Dr. Tick takes groups of vets back over to Vietnam with supplies and gifts to visit orphanages, and the vets also make amends to villagers and survivors of the war. This is an important part of the healing for both the vets and the Vietnamese, although most of the Vietnamese have moved on with their forgiveness, as a people and a country. Ed has even worked with Vietnamese veterans, and wants to end war.

actually this segment is to do with vets ! & what they need! nothing about the rest whose parents family were murdered by soldiers!

infact the results r the same for civilians but again its all about the poor vets! wot about the rest ???

Belovedsugarplum, everyone is forgotten. That is the point of this. The warrior and each person touched by war is forgotten, until the truth begins to be told with exercises on PTSD like meeting people like you and like soldiers, and like all the families touched by war. Peace
