Overcoming PTSD

Those serving in uniform are not the only people who suffer in silence. Greetings Everyday Spy, I’ve always felt a special relationship with soldiers, medics, police, first responders and all everyday warriors. Service is something that doesn’t go away when your work day ends. The things that you do and see on the job stay with you long after you want to forget them. And when you want to express your thoughts, fears, or worries with others, it's hard to find anyone who can relate. But those serving in uniform are not the only people who suffer in silence. Victims of sexual violence, psychological abuse, acute physical injury, and major accidents also know what it feels like to be haunted at night. They remember the day when they could once quiet their mind and smile easily. But those memories fade each day, even while other pain does not. Because trauma changes everything in an instant. CIA trains us to deal with trauma… but everyday warriors are not given the same training. When a traumatic event overloads the chemical and electrical wiring in your brain, things get damaged. It's no different than running an extreme electrical surge through wiring built for normal use. The surge can come from anywhere; muggers, family members, combat. It’s not important where it came from… only that it happened. In covert operations, we train for trauma through exposure. We put ourselves in situations that gradually expose us to increased stress, fear, and other low-level trauma. In the field, we gain more exposure as we encounter violence head-on, collaborate with dangerous people, and constantly evade trained spy hunters. But exposure training is not a solution - it's a crutch. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. And when it doesn’t work, nobody discovers it until decades later. At its core, trauma is a biological challenge. And like all biological challenges, it must have a biological solution. But despite modern technology and the seemingly infinite budget spent on national security, we don’t have the solution yet. But there are people out there dedicating their talent, time, and treasure to finding the biological solution to PTSD. And not just for those that wear a uniform, either. I’ve been fortunate enough to cross paths with the scientists and researchers at InnerDefense.org. I’ve seen their work, heard their passion, and absolutely love their mission. Jihi and I are both trauma victims and [we are both participating in the InnerDefense.org trauma study.]( The personal data is kept totally anonymous, the biomarkers have been proven and vetted, and the process is simple and safe. If you want to play a part in beating PTSD - for yourself, or for others - this is an awesome opportunity to join the fight. I promise, you will be in good company.
