Note to mental health colleagues: "You can recover from posttraumatic stress. Certainly, you can significantly reduce - not just manage - its symptoms. But - and here's the thing - not with traditional treatment. The problem is, a lot of my colleagues don't know this yet. So they go about it in traditional ways and pronounce the condition incurable, based on the results they get." -- Belleruth Naparstek, from her article "Note to Colleagues: Please Stop Saying Post-Traumatic Stress is Incurable," just published in The Huffington Post on May 1, 2010, and linked here. The whole article is excellent; please give it a read and a think as well...
Editor's note: We've written about Naparstek before on this site, here. Her guided imagery tapes, CDs and DVDs, including "Health Journeys: A Guided Meditation for Healing Trauma (PTSD)," and her book, "Invisible Heroes : Survivors of Trauma and How They Heal," are loved by many.
