04- Operation DOG TAGS for Our Veterans and First Responders dealing with PTSD

There are traumatic events that take place in our lives that can cause us to develop repressive feelings in the subconscious mind, if we aren’t able to evaluate and address these traumatic events soon after they occur. These events become embedded in our subconscious mind. This is like an athlete becoming dehydrated not taking time to hydrate with proper minerals and develop cramps in their muscles. These traumatic events if we don’t recognize them, identify them, and appropriately address them can become debilitating and can trigger nightmare episodes of:

 

  • Feeling apprehensive.
  • Feeling powerless and fearful.
  • Having a sense of impending danger, panic or doom.
  • Elevated heart rate and blood pressure.
  • Rapid breathing.
  • Muscle tension
  • Sweating.
  • Trembling.
  • Feeling weak or tired.
  • Feeling withdrawn.
  • Not being able to express how we feel or our emotions

 

As noted in the photograph gallery to the left are examples of activities that can be a part of the Therapy for those dealing with PTSD. In World War II Veterans returning from the battlefield rode motorcycles to deal with their symptoms. Exercise, hobbies, and sporting events are great ways to deal with PTSD. At the end of World War I, the PGA used golf to help Veterans suffering from what was referred to as SHELL SHOCK.
