It does not involve drugs or costly equipment and is a relatively quick therapy. It\u2019s administered by Masters level counselors, or by a practitioner legally allowable by the laws of the state they are working.<\/p>\n<p>In clinical trials VDK removed the nightmare and flashback symptoms of PTS in less than half the time of current therapies, often in less than two or three sessions. VDK administered shortly after veterans return home can remove the symptoms and stop the PTS Syndrome from developing. The results to date are phenomenal \u2013 a ninety percent remission of PTS diagnosis and clinical symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>VDK begins by questioning the client until he or she responds physiologically. Typically, this includes changes in breathing, heart rate and vocal pitch. The response is only allowed to continue until the physiology changes. It is stopped before re-traumatization can occur. As soon as this state is identified, the dissociation begins by asking the client to imagine he or she is in a movie theater. On the screen is a still image of the client performing some neutral activity in a safe context, at a time before the trauma occurred. Then, he or she is asked to imagine floating away from his or her body in the theater to a projection booth. From this vantage point, he or she is instructed to watch him or herself in the theater, watching themselves on the screen.<\/p>\n<p>After establishing these three levels of dissociation, the client is instructed to watch a black and white picture of themselves on the screen of the movie theater at a time before the traumatic event. As he focuses on the imagined picture, he is directed to watch himself in the theater as he watches a black and white movie of the traumatic event. He watches himself in the theater watching the event until a safe time after the trauma has fully passed. This process is repeated until watching the entire movie can be done without any observable discomfort. When he can watch the movie comfortably, he is asked to step into it and experience the entire sequence, fully associated, in color, in reverse and at very high speed. When the trauma can be talked about with no discomfort, the intervention is presumed to have worked.<\/p>\n<p><i>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/researchandrecognition.org\" class=\"blue-link\" data-wplink-edit=\"true\" target=\"new\" rel=\"noopener\">Research and Recognition Project<\/a><\/i><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-section e159-e44 m4f-0 m4f-1 m4f-2 m4f-6 m4f-7 m4f-c m4f-d m4f-e m4f-g m4f-i\"><span class=\"x-separator-top-angle-in\" style=\"top: 0px; height: 94px; color: #f5f5f5;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg class=\"angle-top-in\" style=\"fill: currentColor;\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 100 100\" preserveAspectRatio=\"none\"><polygon points=\"0,100 0,100 0,0\"\/><polygon points=\"0,100 100,100 100,0\"\/><\/svg><\/span><div class=\"x-row x-container max width e159-e45 m4f-m m4f-p m4f-q m4f-s m4f-t m4f-u m4f-v m4f-w m4f-y m4f-z m4f-11 m4f-1b m4f-1m\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e159-e46 m4f-1t m4f-1u m4f-1v m4f-1y\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e159-e47 m4f-29 m4f-2a m4f-2b m4f-2g m4f-2j m4f-2k m4f-2l m4f-2m m4f-2n\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h2 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">Transitioning out of the Military<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-col e159-e48 m4f-1q m4f-1r m4f-1t m4f-1u m4f-1v m4f-1w m4f-1x m4f-1y\"><span class=\"x-image e159-e49 m4f-34 m4f-35 m4f-3a\" style=\"--tco-dc4f-1h:10px;--tco-dc4f-1i:0px;--tco-dc4f-1j:0px;--tco-dc4f-1k:15px;--tco-dc4f-1l:5px;--tco-dc4f-1m:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);--tco-dc4f-1o:10px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/22zero.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/man-running-fast-to-jump-over-precipice-between-two-mountains.webp\" width=\"1680\" height=\"1120\" alt=\"Man running fast to jump over precipice between two mountains\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/div><div class=\"x-col e159-e50 m4f-1t m4f-1u m4f-1y m4f-21 m4f-26\"><div class=\"x-text x-content e159-e51 m4f-2w m4f-2x m4f-30 m4f-31\"><p><strong>Talk About A Leap Of Faith<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you are one of the 20,000 transitioning out of military service every month, you are in a high-risk group adding to the stress of dealing with trauma or negative emotions that you experienced while in these roles. Many who choose service careers, such as the military, lose their identity and feel lost and isolated when they retire or leave service. Their purpose seems stripped away to them. The transitioning veteran finds themselves isolated and in an environment where they are disconnected from their peers and misunderstood. The first 18 months out of service is the highest risk group for veteran suicide.<\/p>\n<p>In 2012, Prudential surveyed veterans Veteran\u2019s Employment Challenges. A Survey by Prudential \u2013 NJISJ ) to understand better veterans\u2019 experiences and perceptions around finding civilian careers after transitioning out of service. Sadly, the survey revealed that 64% of veterans reported having difficulty transitioning from military service to civilian life. A few of the greatest challenges of transitioning to civilian life were figuring out what was next, relating to non-veteran civilians, and readjusting to social life. These challenges also apply to our first responders who are retiring or leaving their profession.<\/p>\n<p>The struggle some are experiencing may not be PTSD related but may result from transitioning out of a service career. Isolation, depression, feelings of helplessness can result from this transition.

We train men and women in the active-duty military: first responders, EMT\/Paramedics, National Guard units, military reserves, and veterans. They learn skills that they will use immediately to build the resiliency skills necessary to bounce back from trauma and significant emotional events and coach others through the same process. The training requires the members to go through the Trauma Resiliency Protocol (TRP) and Emotions Management Process (EMP), working on their own emotions and traumas. The TRP and EMP processes use zero content from the person\u2019s events.
