WHAT WE DO
The Road Back, Path to Success is a sub-section of the Research and Recognition Project. There are currently thousands of veterans across the world suffering from the damaging effects of Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS). In the US alone, it is estimated that 22 military and ex-military commit suicide EVERY DAY. During initial research studies, NLP has been shown to treat PTS in five hours. The patients are able to return to the lives they lived before the trauma.
The Road Back, a 501(3)(c) initiative of the Research and Recognition Project, is raising additional funds for more research and a state-of-
the-art, self-sustaining clinic to help our veterans. Our goal is to raise
$3 million for operating expenses for the first two years, at which point economic self-sufficiency is expected.
The Department of Defense medical services and the VA medical system have taken the position that veterans with PTS should be treated with “evidence-based treatment methodologies”. While the regulations are working to keep ineffective cures out of the VA, it has imposed a 10- to 15-year certification process, before the much needed, new, and more effective treatments can be certified as evidentiary medicine and put to use. Following, is a referenced description of three approved therapies for PTS and the new RTM Treatment currently being researched for approved VA use.
This article is presented in three parts. The first describes research into underlying mechanisms of the brain that result in the formation of Post-Traumatic Stress. The second introduces the basis for a unique state-of-the-art treatment based on that research. The third part demonstrates how the technique is applied. Throughout these articles certain words are highlighted with links to additional information if you want to read more.
Every year thousands of returning military, state, and local police officers, and civilians of every description suffer from the intrusive symptoms of post-traumatic stress (PTS). Current treatments rooted largely in extinction protocols require extensive commitments of time and money and are often ineffective. This study reviews several theories of PTS and two important mechanisms that explain when treatment does and doesn’t work: extinction and reconsolidation. It then reviews the research about and suggests an explanatory mechanism for the Visual-Kinesthetic Dissociation protocol (V/KD), also known as the rewind technique. The technique is notable for its lack of discomfort to the client, the possibility of being executed as a content- free intervention, its speed of operation, and its long-term, if largely anecdotal, efficacy. A case study, specific diagnostics for extinction and reconsolidative mechanisms, and suggestions for future research are provided.
