Alternative Medicine For PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder In Soldiers

Healing the trauma and stress of a soldier is more than the incident of the injury/s. The life of a soldier in the combat zone has daily fears. They experience the potential of death every day. Although the soldier is in combat only a limited number of days the possibility lingers that they could face danger in any given moment. As we look at the American soldiers in Iraq or Afghanistan they will live from one day to another not knowing when the next crisis will occur.

The daily creation of fear from the mind added with the real possibility of danger creates an internal mechanism sometimes called” The Grid” that lives in overwhelm in the soldiers mind and body. At least or it is perceived that way. Soldiers carry the weight of their internal dialogues and the energies of that consciousness not knowing if the worst will happen to them in any given moment. It is a constant pressure to contain.

To be a soldier is to set aside the individual needs in order to function as a group. Beginning in basic training soldiers are trained to function in a group mentally.  People’s lives are dependent on each and every soldier to operate within the unit’s purpose. Somewhere in that process the soldier intertwines not only in their purpose but on a deeper psychic level with all the soldiers they practice with. What one soldier feels in a routine or on a mission the rest of the group experiences on some level.

For example, if one soldier is injured in a skirmish everyone in the platoon feels that in some way. The bond between the soldiers not only lasts through their tour of duty the soldier continues after they have left the war zone and have gone home. A part of the post traumatic stress disorder, PTSD source is from the energetic connection that a soldier has with his fellow troops. Their military bonds bind them together in their past.

As an intuitive therapist using energetic clearing techniques the unconscious ties can be cut and cleared from the person to the group. The trauma that is created as an unconscious bond with fellow soldiers changes and does not hold the memories of the unknown trauma. Once the unconscious connections change the inner healing of the personal experiences of the stress can calm and be transformed.

Toxic shame is when we are raised in a home where we are placed in situations that we are controlled in an abusive way/s that create our self image as less than.  We create us in a false way to be able to fit into a dysfunctional home environment and lose a part of the truth of who we are as a result.  Those who have had toxic shame as children and then as adults are in a shaming environment we revert back to those old behaviors through out our life.  We can break the patterns created in a toxic shameenvironment by addressing our shamed child within us.

I recently worked with a woman who seemed to be in kind of a shock.  She told me the word that described her self was ungrounded.  Especially in situations that were stressful with others, she could not have the focus to speak her own mind.  She also found it difficult to remember details such as what she had read, the information appeared to pass right through her.

As we explored her life she told me of her mother and father and the unsafe environment that she grew up in.  She had little control with two parents who were intimidating and sometimes physically punitive.  It made the young girl feel overwhelmed with her interactions with the parents.  She was always nervous that she would do or say the wrong thing leaving her with a sometimes overwhelming anxiety.

The most brilliant thing she could do, as a protective device was to bring her awareness outside of herself as the little girl’s mind and spirit left in some ways.  She went out of her present state of being to function in daydreams, fantasies and in states of minor shock.  The benefit was that the painful experiences with her parents were not so intense.

Being partially disembodied or out of body is a common experience for those who grew up in stressful homes and/or were abused in some way as children.  It is a defensive mechanism that directs us away from feeling so much of the pain back then. Often these people as adults are triggered by the same behaviors that they experienced as children.  For example, my client would become extremely nervous and would begin to stutter when people began to raise their voice, she lost her concentration.  The belittlement in her childhood was the toxic shame that would always guide her back to the behaviors of her past.   Also these people who ‘go out of themselves’ are often more psychic and/or more in tune with their surroundings.  They often develop their intuitive abilities as a way to predict aggression in their environment.

I began to work with the ashamed young girl that existed within the woman, those places that were suppressed deep inside that created the need to go out of her body.  Many of these were fractured parts of the woman existed.  As an intuitive therapist I began to help her identify the body memories of these suppressed experiences to find the part of the girl/woman separated. For example as she talked about how her mother yelled at her we could feel the tension in her stomach react to the recalled memory then we would begin the journey of finding a part of her that left as a result to the traumatizing experience with mom.  When the split part was reintegrated the tension in the stomach permanently went away and the person felt more present in themselves when around intimidating people.

By reliving the childhood experience my client learned how to feel them again inside of her as they resurfaced.  When the past energetic memories came back she had an opportunity to begin clearing them herself or with me.  The woman’s anxieties and fears continued to be relived as her body showed these old stressed memories to her, such as a tension in her stomach.  They were the same places she felt them as a child when her parents mistreated her.   Now the woman did energetic clearings to shift the memories to a neutral experience so they would no longer trigger her to being anxious or to stutter.

As dozens of these traumatized parts resolved the woman became more present within herself, her body felt better and happier.  Through several weeks of work she was able to be present when others were angry and loud.  The ashamed disembodied places inside of her were integrated back and she did not revert to the nervous stutter when the stress was on. The woman’s actions to the toxic shame of her childhood had changed greatly and she was enjoying the fruits of it.

I recently became angry with one of my neighbors.  At the time it was quite distressing but I knew that I would not be getting so angry with the issue at hand if it did not have previous experiences similar to the incidents.  True I was angry at my neighbor I knew my consciousness was offering me an opportunity to discover a deeper limitation in my own little anger disorder.  As I felt the raging discomfort in my stomach and heart I used common anger management techniques; I yelled in pillows to release the most immediate anger and mentally processed the emotions.  However I as I felt a dense discomfort on the left side of my colon I knew there was something deeper that was stimulated from the conflict and my body wanted to reveal it to me.  This was suppressed way down inside me; my intuition told me this was would take some time.

The above story is a good example of how we can use our anger disorder for our benefit.  According to John Bradshaw the definition of anger is an energy to take action.  This is true in an outward way.  However, we can use anger on an inner journey to discover a greater repressed painful memory.

In this situation I knew the incident with my neighbor stimulated a deeper anger because the intensity of the experience did not match to incident’s intensity.  It was much greater and deeper.  I was enraged for something that was not that big of a deal.  Second I felt an area in my colon become inflamed and heavy.  That was the energetic memory of my past that was re-stimulated.

Now, I had the opportunity to take my anger and focus it inward on my past memory.  If I did this my anger with my neighbor would resolve within me as well.  I began the process of meditating with my angry area and asking what it had to reveal to me.   I did this as a daily exploration and each day I found new information about my past going back to my earliest childhood experiences.

What it required of me was to maintain my attention to my colon, open my heart and allow the memories to come up.  They literally felt as if they were coming out of my colon and then to the cerebral area.  Then I would do energetic clearings on the topic and forgive all those involved.  Within a couple of days of maintaining my inner acknowledgment of anger the deepest memory came up.  Once it was released my angry colon area immediately became relaxed and there was no more inflammation.  I felt whole inside and joyous.  I felt OK about my neighbor as well.

This success would not have occurred if I have not acknowledge that my anger was a tool for me to go inside and discover a big issue.  I gave it permission to stay active inside me until all of the answers arose and were released.  Anger makes a demand of us to take action whether it be though something direct or an inner resolution.  When anger arises inside of me I listen to it let it guide me in my life to resolution.

Sometimes when we feel we are stuck in our personal growth we are close to breaking through to something greater in our therapeutic progress.  It may feel like we are totally in our limitations when actually we are making great personal progress.  Like the saying goes, “The darkest hour is right before the dawn.”

One of my clients told me that after doing sessions with me he was feeling more anger and rage than he had experienced in years in his spiritual growth.  He saw the sessions as counterproductive, however it was really progress in his personal development.  Finally my client was feeling what was occurring in his body, anger and shame.

Children who are shamed, aggressed upon or live in fear, there is the one thing that many of these young ones are not permitted to express is anger.  They have a knowing back then that the situation would only become worse if they asserted themselves.  It is a brilliant strategy to stay out of the way.  Many children do this but unfortunately shame themselves later for it.  As a result the anger then is suppressed even deeper in their psyche and body.  There it is held suppressed as a part of their unconscious.

This type of suppressed anger becomes an unconscious influence in our life guiding us to health issues, addiction, depression and more.  So many of my clients do not come to me to resolve anger but other by-products that are created from suppression of emotions.  Many do not realize the rage that is within them.  However when the issues are explored and cleared the anger and rage began to come up.

It is predictable for anger to reappear because the body desperately wants us to let this huge weight go.  Repressed anger and rage is a degenerating force inside of us.  When we begin the process of exploration to resolve the past the body brings the energetic memories of the old show angers up.

My client’s body was so ready so ready for him to release his rage that it came up in prolific ways.  Unfortunately it scared him and he stepped back from doing therapeutic work.  After time he realized this and came back to do my personal work.  When we feel the angst and/or in crises it is the perfect time to go deeply into the situation.

When we have issues from our past come up, look at them as an opportunity to permanently release pains of the past.  Our body and unconsciousness is trying to present this to us.  We have the possibility to change if we choose to continue to do the self-improvement work.

We hold all of our life’s experiences through our body memory.  Included in the recording is the emotional memory along with the imprinting of the event in the cellular structure of our body.  The emotional memory can be happiness we experience, the sadness, the anger or the trauma paired together with the memory of the experience.  We store all of this away not only in our mind but in the body as well.

The emotional memory seems to affect the well being of the cells as well.  For example if we have both the cellular memory trauma or body memory of abuse from the experience in the body, the cells are not as healthy.

We also seem to hold emotional experiences in certain areas of our body that pertain to the experience.  For example if we stuff our resentments of anger we may hold the memories in our abdominal areas or not express our anger the energy may be repressed in our throats.  If we have lots of unresolved crises and live in that kind of cellular memory trauma it may be held in our heart.

They may fester creating abnormal cells and are the impetus for disease in our bodies.

A friend of mine years back told me his dysfunctional behavioral patterns were so ingrained in him that it would take the rest of his life to change the way they were hardwired in his body.  This was said in the days that we used only our intellect to process our emotional sufferings.  I believed it was true in those days.

However since then I have learned that the cellular memory of emotional pain can be released.  We can have energetic transfers in both directions.

There are many body-based therapies out there but I like using Access Energy Transformation to release cellular memory.  Since I have been using these tools in my life the vitality, health and flexibility in my body has improved dramatically.  Incidents of sickness have greatly reduced.  I have more energy because there are less parts of me holding my suppressed past that seem to block or inhibit my energy flows.  I have seen tremendous changes in my clients as well.

I am a believer in body-based therapies as one of the integral tools to let go of a limited past and step into our lives with more health, energy and joy.

Michael Jordan is one of the greatest athletes of our time.  One of his lesser known talents was his ability to use anger as a motivating force.  Michael would become angry at rival teams, owners, and players before and during a game to use that anger as an motivating energy.  The expression of anger would go inward and Jordan would use it to energize himself, a point of focus that he would build within himself.  When Michael came out onto the court for the game he was honed and managed the anger to where he was charged to play at a higher level of intensity.  He was an expert at building from his anger to make himself a better player.  In fact Michael looked for reasons to be angry at an opposing team so he could create his own anger management techniques.

The whole purpose of anger is it is a energy for us to take action, however many people they do not take action and the anger stays inside and festers.  Or for some one like Michael Jordan, to use it as a energy, to intensify it.  To become angry and say “I don’t like this situation and I am going to do something about it.”

I recently hurt my foot and the injury just seemed to linger for weeks.  Symbolically a foot injury represents that we are not moving forward in life.  For me it meant not getting out into the world enough to find a relationship with a woman.  I got mad at my foot, my body for being so slow in healing and said “I disgusted that you are so slow, how can I go out and meet new people if I cannot walk.”  The next day my foot felt better.

In some way we need to take action with our anger.  Even if it is recognizing we are angry or screaming we are doing something.  Maybe the question to ask is “What is the anger directing me to do? Or resolve?

Bart Sharp specializes in helping people resolve suppressed anger and come to a new awareness with themselves in their anger’s release.

Shame is a limiting belief within all of us that helps us recognize we have limitations.  However when we are raised in homes that are dysfunctional and operate from a viewpoint of toxic shame it leads us to anger, depression, various addictive behaviors and more.  Overcoming shame is the underlying component that must be recognized if we truly wish to be completely clear of our dysfunctional past. Below are some insights in overcoming shame.

A child’s perception of power is in how much they are loved by their parents, family and allowed to discover themselves.  When a child is raised in this environment they grow in their own identify and are affirmed that they are valuable.   As adults this power is transformed into all what the person wishes to become and achieve.  The love the adult received as a child transfers to the belief the adult deserves to receive their dreams.

On the opposite perspective the child who is not loved as much and taught they are lesser beings have the outlook that they deserve less.  The messages that the parents gives to the child that they are wrong transfers to their beliefs as adults.  Unconsciously the adult believes that they should receive less in life.  The shamed that was projected onto them becomes a core belief that they deserve less in life.

Shame is an unconscious belief within an individual that affects them in a variety of ways.  It becomes an invisible sabotage that affects how they manifest.

If we wish to have a fuller power it is imperative that we explore our past in how we were deemed lesser.  It can be projected onto or taught to us in obvious and subtle ways.  We as adults can change the way that we create our lives by exploring our shamed self.  Then the basis of our person power can change.

One of my friends, Barry was sharing about his life and the dynamics of what created his pattern of painful relationships. He had been doing therapy to learn how he created a painful relationship.  He had learned that most painful relationships were with his father, oldest brother and first wife.  One of the things my friend learned through therapy is none of these three people had an intent to hurt him.  For years he held a perspective that his father and former wife must be trying to destroy his life because that is what it felt like.  Barry held himself in a judgment of blaming his loved ones for his painful life.

Through therapy Barry was able to see they were operating in their own illness and what happened in his interactions with them was done in good intentions even if it was dysfunctional.  When my friend stopped seeing the past through a judgment of blaming that they were wrong and he must be right he could start to see the cycles of the relationships, especially between his father and former wife.

For starters Barry began to see he had an important part in creating the problem and finding that gave him a perspective in how he triggered and was partially responsible for many of the conflicts.  By not judging them as wrong enabled my friend to see the fears his wife and father were coming from, he began to have more compassion for their position.

Therapy was no longer finding the bad parts of people from his past but seeing they were misguided.  Soon his exploration of the past was less inflamed with emotions but one of discovery, therapy for his pained relationships and past became much more relaxed.  He began to enjoy the process more.

As Barry explored the dynamics of the painful relations with his father and former wife he begin to see what triggered him the most was how the relationships seemed to take him through a cycle feeling ashamed, then angry and after the charge of the distress was gone the willingness to forgive the other person.  However it never seemed to resolve the issue because Barry never dealt with the anger or shame of feeling belittled.  It was the unconscious part that Barry could never see or feel was what it was like to be ashamed from his father’s aggressiveness to him.  It was an unconscious emotional triangle that he lived.

Barry began doing a therapy with himself reliving his memories as a young boy feeling those experiences again.  It was very different because my friend was no longer judging himself or others.  He just felt what the memory was for him and dialogued with himself through the young frighten boy inside of him that he was OK and no longer needed to feel bad about himself.  It was not the little boy’s fault.  Through these simple perspectives, techniques and practice Barry changed how he attracted relationships.   He now loves himself more and has attracted someone who does not belittle him.
