Happy New Year! And welcome to a year when you can choose how your PTSD healing will progress.
To walk beside you in your quest for wellness, beginning today PARASITES OF THE MIND will feature 3 weekly posts directly geared toward prescriptive PTSD healing methods – that is, things you can do to proactively enhance your healing experience.
In addition, 3 other weekly posts will continue to address PTSD issues of awareness, education, treatment and healing (plus whatever else seems relevant!).
So, let’s dive in. The following list of resolutions are designed to build upon each other to fortify your healing focus and help you visualize the totally healed you. Drawn from my own healing experience, these are the 12 actions that finally brought me to where I am today - PTSD-free and lovin' it.
BRIDGE THE GAP: 12 PTSD Healing Resolutions
#1 – I will create a powerful healing intention.
#2 – I will talk.
#3 – I will reach out.
#4 – I will educate myself.
#5 – I will educate those around me.
#6 – I will seek help.
#7 – I will actively change my unhealthy perceptions.
#8 – I will deliberately construct a post-trauma identity.

Let’s heal together, and then spread the word that PTSD is treatable and curable.
If you’re still not convinced I’m right about this whole possibility of healing idea, I’ll leave you with this quote from Dr. David Baldwin’s fabulous website, Trauma Information Pages:
If we "know" there can't be a cure, we'll never find out if we were wrong. That is the danger I see in arguing "Why there can be no cure for PTSD".
I’m an ex-New Yorker; for many years the motto for our beloved Mets was ‘Ya Gotta Believe’. And so do you.
