THE NEED for TIMELY EFFECTIVE INTERVENTION
As a recently returned vet from Iraq or Afganistan does this story ring a bell?
You are severely wounded in mind and body requriring effective treatment hopefully immediately. You register at the VA, meet with a social worker and a Doctor, given a diagnosis of PTSD (post traumatic stress syndrome) and invited back for counseling. Hoping to see a counselor as soon as possible you are disappointed with the news that your first counseling appointment will be in about 3 weeks. Hearing this, both you and your family members experience rising anxiety, tension, and frustration, fearing you might not be able to wait that long maintaining a collective precarious sense of balance without exploding or imploding.
To reduce your intense negative feelings many like yourself will be given anti anxiety pills. The drugs may for some reduce the 'sting' but you are generally not told that it takes about two weeks for the drugs to get absorbed into your system so the pills may or may not work well enough to meet your needs.
During this delay many will find that the predictable reactions of anxiety, frustration, depression and stress - all natural not pathological responses to unenviable human traumatic intrusions - will likely intensify.
What to many non injured a delay of three weeks probably would seem to be no big deal - to the injured this time delay of only 21 days is often experienced as traumatically overwhelming.
Never a day goes by when it is not reported that a returning Vet loses control and comitts outrageous actions.
What if the three week delay could be notably shortened?
With this need in mind I want to introduce you to a revolutionary guide for both caring lay people and trained professionals wishing to be effective first responders in helping those suffering from anxiety, depression, frustration and stress, often without the need for drugs.
The following is the foreward to a guide called ATTITUDE SHIFTING:
Most people over 12 years old are likely to agree that whatever else one’s life means it is an undeniable fact that it is a struggle. Life appears to be a series of unending problems. No sooner master one problem than another soon follows. If this viewpoint is valid for you then it follows that the key to the “good life” is choosing to become an expert problem solver.
All problems are not equal. Some are much more difficult to solve than others. Indeed some problems seem to defy any satisfactory solution at all. Problems like this make us feel overwhelmingly “stuck” generating feelings of frustration, depression, anxiety, and stress which are often experienced as helplessness and hopelessness.
We want the opportunity to show you a method by which you can get “unstuck” in which you will neither feel inconvenienced, nor obligated to invest excessive amounts of money or time. If you will simply read the following contents with an open mind you can expect to be shown a pathway enabling you to potentially develop or recover a normal three year olds natural optimism in meeting each new day. This attitude might be characterized as “Bring it on.”
We hope and sincerely believe that your interest in Attitude Shifting might be a life defining experience for you.
