EJ, Service in N.Ireland, Iraq.

"I became traumatised while serving in Kuwait during the First Gulf War, although it took about two years for its full impact to be felt. When the nightmares and unwanted images started, I didn't know where to turn. My wife provided constant support, even though I drank heavily, and, after some internet research, my family found out about PTSDR. "It was wonderful to have someone listen unemotionally to my experiences and the rewind technique helped me to view those traumatic events as things which happened a long time ago. These events no longer trouble me and I now sleep well all the time, without fear of another nightmare. I believe that my treatment opened a gateway through which I could build a new life; I now feel in control instead of being controlled by my trauma. It really was perfect for my problems and I can't think of anything I would do to improve this service."
