PTSD stands for post-traumatic stress disorder. It can occur in a person when they have experienced something highly traumatic such as a natural disaster, abuse or war. Some people relive the event by having flashbacks as if it were happening over and over again or having nightmares. Some people have avoidance issues. They become hypervigilant, emotionally detached, have less interest in things they used to love or they are unable to remember certain aspects of the trauma. Some people deal with sleep issues, irritability, startling easily, suicidal thoughts, etc.

Traditional methods of treatment would consist of possibly pharmacologic care and counseling. For some people this can go on for many years with little results. Alternative healing modalities may be the way to go. Gary Craig, founder of EFT, had wonderful results when working with veterans at a VA hospital. He was there for 6 days and had people sleeping through the night who had not done so since their service in Vietnam 30 years prior.
