The Cure for Combat PTSD is Prevention and Empathy 

The Cure for Combat PTSD is Prevention and Empathy  | Healing Trauma and Loss | Scoop.it
Post Traumatic Stress disorder is considered a mental disorder that affects people who have experienced something painful or unbearable.

 

Luckily, there is a "cure" for PTSD in soldiers—the main cure is prevention and empathy.

 

Discovering Empathy for People Thinking about Becoming a Soldier. True empathy requires understanding what soldiers might go through prior to enlisting (and after enlisting).

 

Discovering this empathy depends on the seeing humans as an end in themselves and not the means to an end. No one wants to see soldiers languish away as a result of their actions or their enemy's actions.

Grief and Gratefulness - online practice | Healing Trauma and Loss | Scoop.it

If joy is gold, grief is silver. But we tend to be as unaware of the value of our “blues” as the 19th-century prospectors were about the value of blue sand. When we’re struck by grief, is the main point to “beat” this mood that seems to be clogging the works so that we can get back to a happy, productive life? Maybe sometimes. But always we can find a profound source of gratefulness right within grief itself.
