Proven path

We assist our Veteran brothers and sisters along the path to personal healing.  It can be done.  We have done it.

OK, let’s dive deeper together. Listen up, read slowly and carefully. Through personal experience, we believe you do not have a disease and you are not broken.  You are not damaged goods. Why? Because you have had very normal reactions to abnormal life experiences whether in war or in life.  You are not the exception but the norm.  We are not shrinks, doctors or counselors but we are surviving warriors that have helped many other brothers and sisters. Let’s face a fact. You are changed…boot camp took care of that. You are forever a warrior. For that we are not ashamed. You should not be either. Therefore, we call it PTS, Post Traumatic Stress.  Those very intense past experiences form the powerful person you are today. Remember, if it doesn’t kill you it makes you stronger. Don’t feel as powerful today? We can show you how to take back that territory. It is doable, we are on the other side of that mine field.

Those experiences also possibly turned into intense memories or dreams that can disrupt or interrupt our lives…but they can be managed as well.  We do not encourage or even think it is possible to erase the memories, remember they made you the powerful person you are today.  We have found that taking charge of your past experiences and managing them instead of them managing you is simply assaulting the enemy before he assaults you.  You can only retreat so long before the enemy catches up and destroys you from behind.  We don’t believe in addressing the symptoms.  We believe, with God's help, in addressing the cause and controlling the symptoms thru an eternal cause perspective...kinda getting the 30,000 foot perspective.  Simply put, it works.

What you miss

Combat can lead to guilt, excitement, missing the brotherhood, not fitting in and searching for a replacement.

Adrenalin

We have experienced the addiction to Adrenalin.  Managing those desires is a key to starting the road to recovery.

always warriors

We believe once a warrior always a warrior and you are simply downrange in a different kind of mine field.

You were trained how to respond to threats in the military and you can use those same skills to respond to life’s new experience of civilian life.  We further believe that often the real cause of PTS is an underlying Moral Wound.  A Moral Wound is being angry at God or whoever you believe is in charge of this universe.  How could He let such unfair and horrible things happen?  Maybe you don’t want anything to do with such a God. We have been there as well.  Good news is there is a path to work your way through that too.

Or maybe you really have developed a fear of living civilian life and just need a few coping tools to take the offense again. A black dog living in a white dog world can take some training. Either way we have ways of helping you along the path to total and victorious healing. We don’t believe in holding any ground. We are constantly taking ground from the enemy…keeping them on their heels…making them defend…making them afraid of us. We don’t fear the storm, we and our God are the storm.

Lastly, when returning to civilian life, we lose our military identity and have to find our new place in civilian society. That can be an amazingly difficult and painful experience. We’ve learned answers for that as well. Our team can also give your tools for your tool belt that create a new mission for the continuation of your training and productive past.

It's your move

You'll heal yourself and every loved one in your life.  You know...the ones who waited for you, prayed for you and hugged your neck when you got back.

 Now, a tough but true and honorable fact.  You also owe it to the ones who didn't make it back.  What would they say?  Their message would be simple.  Live for me!  You are honorable enough to understand that obligation. 

You know the drill.  Recognize / Improvise / Overcome.  It takes true valor to step up and take the next steps.  We encourage you to contact us and allow us the privilege of guiding you along the path already cleared by others.  There is hope and there is verifiable history to the success of these programs.  Once again think of your family and just pull the trigger.  Call us immediately.  We are waiting to serve you brother and sister.
