Some have the belief you need to learn to live with PTSD. Some live with it simply out of habit.
But there IS a therapy that has helped combat veterans be able to truly leave the past in the past. It doesn’t require a lot of talk or a lot of homework. Thus, it has a high success rate and low drop out rate for veterans. It is called EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.
