John UK Veteran

“Throughout my career in the military and police service, and the personal challenges I faced, I self-medicated with alcohol. 
“Following an intensive rehabilitation programme, I successfully overcame my alcohol dependency and subsequently received a diagnosis of PTSD. While this diagnosis proved beneficial in my recovery journey, ceasing self-medication led to a decline in my mental health. I sought therapeutic treatment through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). Unfortunately, I found EMDR particularly re-traumatising and was unable to continue after three months of treatment.

“I discovered PTSD Resolution when I was at a very low point. After a self-referral, I quickly commenced a series of one-to-one treatment sessions with a PTSD Resolution therapist. These sessions introduced me to the Human Givens approach, which significantly supported my recovery. I initially began with six sessions - and was then able to extend for a further six.
“While I would like to say that these sessions completely cured me, that is not the case. However, they provided me with an approach to recovery that differed from EMDR and proved to be more beneficial. The treatment was forward-focused, equipping me with tools and techniques that I can utilise in everyday life.

“I am grateful to have found PTSD Resolution. I am further along in my recovery journey than I anticipated at this stage, and I feel more experienced and prepared for the future as a result of this treatment.

“I wholeheartedly recommend PTSD Resolution to any Veterans dealing with PTSD and seeking an effective approach to aid in their recovery and personal growth.”
