I attended this Retreat with a lot of anticipation and
skepticism. I was very much thinking this would be
smoke and mirrors. As a couple, we now know that there
are tools that we are taking home to work on as a couple
and as a family. Just admitting that there is a problem is
the first step and now we need to go on with life using
these precious tools. – Ernie D

their time during the veterans’ retreats. They are
professional, compassionate, attentive, and answer
veteran and family questions.
Things that were beneficial to me were T.A.T., E.F.T., and
the Guided Imagery. The major thing was realizing things
from my past childhood affected my present, but with
the few techniques I’ve learned in just a week, these
things WILL NOT affect my future.— K.A.B.
The concept of an alternative form of therapy is important ~ one that should be explored further. The program should be used as a model across the country. –
Mike M.
This has been a terrific eye-opening week. I’ve made
breakthroughs in thinking, learned new techniques for
handling my PTSD, and learned new skills for relating as a
couple. I highly recommend these retreats for any veterans affected by PTSD. I have never been to a retreat that
was so beneficial. I had heard of tapping, but dismissed
it as “weird” stuff. IT WORKS!!! WOW!! – Tish M.
