Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can occur in anyone who experiences a traumatic situation. If you’re a Veteran who has served in combat, what you experienced, saw, and felt may have contributed to a change in your mental health. It’s similar to those who are first responders who are heading to highly dangerous and horrific scenes to provide first aid. It’s the intense experience that can create trauma.
PTSD is a life-changing condition. The National Institute of Mental Health notes that 3.6% of adults in the U.S. experienced PTSD in the previous year, with 6.8% of people experiencing some form of it at some point in their life.
Experiencing or witnessing a terrifying event can lead to trauma, which makes it hard for a person to engage with life, maintain good self-care, and manage stress. Many people with trauma disorders experience intense flashbacks, nightmares that keep them up all night, and anxiety that can be so severe it’s debilitating. PTSD can also feel like a forever situation, something that’s never going to get better.
That doesn’t have to be the case. Treatment programs, including Tactical Recovery at The Ranch at Dove Tree, can offer a way forward with far less pain and suffering.
What Is Tactical Recovery?
Tactical Recovery is a program designed to address the very specific challenges Veterans and first responders experience. There’s nothing quite like experiencing terrifying events and also having to put yourself at risk for others in those moments. When trauma results, effective treatment requires specific techniques and approaches unique to the situation.
