I urge you to go to Vets Prevail for an online coping skills training to aid in well, coping. If you are not in therapy, please do so. At the top of this blog you will find links under the banner with information of handling VA appointments, how to prepare for mental health emergencies, what to expect in therapy, how to talk to your doctor, etc. I have recently began looking into ways to creatively express my trauma through writing about something other than war and art.Scott Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17861938200417302754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207713177773691778.post-50699734127234968612012-08-13T11:20:56.123-04:002012-08-13T11:20:56.123-04:00Scott,

Lot of change in the past 3 years and a lot of stress have forced me to deal with things I thought were long dealt with.

Unfortunately, the brain does not easily shift from this mode and the mechanisims must be reset. I am a naturopath who works in this area. I also use the work of a psychotherapist specializing in EMDR.
