Consider helping with PTSD management & healing

A quote from near the end of the article:
"In addition to the research into the causes of PTSD, new treatment is being developed, drawing on neurolinguistic programming, relaxation techniques and even Eye Movement Desensitisation Therapy..."
As hypnotherapists, we are needed where the healing & personal support is needed. We can help support the healing and treatment of PTSD by teaching sufferers self-hypnosis and deep relaxation as well as NLP techniques (if you have that training). Inductions for insomnia, depression and anxiety may be helpful in many cases.
The need is certainly great and growing. Check with the psychotherapists and physicians in your area to see if they would like a referral source for hypnotherapy, relaxation and (if you are qualified) NLP work around PTSD. And, of course, always seek a medical referral if you should get a walk-in client that wishes to work specifically to heal or manage PTSD.
