Treating Post Traumatic Stress

An NLP Approach

It is estimated that over one quarter of the USA population is or will be suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PSTD). Victims of rape, domestic violence, terrorism or disaster often are unable to escape the symptoms of PTSD. Each encounter with situations, items people, or places that are similar to the traumatic events propel them back into reliving the event. Their lives remain controlled by threats of reoccurrence.

Through the utilization of NLP models, we will explore reactions to events. We will use techniques that provide step by step strategies to separate the victim from their attachment to the trauma.

These models were developed from the work that resulted from the Active Ingredient Project held at Florida State University. Changing Psychological Landscapes include NLP techniques, Visual Kinesthetic Dissassociation and Redecision Therapy. You will be able to blend these models with your current therapeutic millieu and enable the client to use their own strengths and personal resources.
