Veterans deserving support and healing

Many Veterans believe that they were “one of the lucky ones”, and that help and support should only go to those who have “really suffered”. But the exposure to war changes everybody, and accepting help and support in coping with this is neccessary and important.

More on giving and receiving – a Veterans’ skill

Giving and receiving have to be in harmony. As much as helping others is our human responsibility, being helped and supported by others is the other task. Once we accept help, we learn that true forgiveness is possible and that the consequence of forgiveness is always more freedom and peace.

Returning from Vietnam

One major trauma that most of my Vietnam Veterans share is how they were welcomed home after a long and often horrifying deployment. Clearing this trauma is important, and can open the doors to better trust and healing. It is important for us practitioners to understand that for a warrior, this kind of welcome is a huge betrayal of the tribe. I most often find a lot of rage there, and this can be a great way to start the healing process.

When does a warrior deserve healing?

EFT4Vets stands for helping ALL Veterans and their families, regardless of a diagnosis or known, severe trauma. EFT is a coaching tool that can be easily learned by anybody, even children. If a soldier needs mental health services, EFT doesn’t have to be stopped, as it does not contradict the support someone might get from the VA. On the contrary, EFT can be self applied and Soldiers can help each other, as well as families work with it together.

Veterans can learn how to relax with EFT

Many Veterans prefer the word relaxation over the word healing. EFT is a powerful tool to help a Veteran relax about a traumatic event and regain sleep.
