Soldier Suicide: what would be a Solution to You as our Military Men and Woman? What is needed most? I want to listen to your ideas.

Now, this wasn't done too good when I was in, I have no idea how it is done now, but judging by how many vets have ptsd, I believe it still isn't done properly. when a soldier leaves, all should receive SOME type of follow on care/consideration/mental health follow up and treatment. The military breaks you down, and rebuilds you as the warrior they need you to be. Now there are MANY types of ptsd. I wonder how many studies are done (if any) on 'the old vs. new' Basic training modules out there now for the armed services. Strict screening must be done at all levels of the military prior to basic. The new/next generation of soldier must be re made. Should earlier modes/models of basic be broght back? Not necessarily. But new modes must be adapted. PTSD has been around forever, but it wasn't known as that even when I was in the army. All levels of NCO's and Officers should understand this and be taught these things from day one of enlistment...

As a Suicide survivor we need to remove the "Stigma" associated with soldiers going to mental health. When I speak at events I always get the same reason why soldier are not seeking help, it will hurt my career and I will loose my clearance which in reality it not true. DOD wants a quick fix to a complex problem that wont be fixed over night.

I have had 3 major depressive episodes and PTSD. I even put off getting therapy for over a year for my last one until 2013. You can't force someone to get help. However, many are afraid of getting it. There's negative stigma that 'it doesn't help' or 'drug's don't work' or 'they have too many side effects'. Medical and mental treatment of each person isn't that simple. We all respond to drugs, medical treatments, and therapy differently and the same. People who need help, need people who have gone through similar experiences. It may not happen quickly or right away.
Our female Veterans are getting the backlash. They exist. Many might feel that speaking to another woman is scary but speaking to a male veteran is easier. You won't know what works for a person in need until you ask. Even then they won't be as forthcoming with the info.

Great question!
First let's get straight with what research in repetitive behaviors is learning: Suicide Ideation is a behavior that is controlled an amnesic memory earlier in life. Often in early childhood.

PLEASE Google this new behavior buster!

Diagnosises like spiritual injury And TBA need to be explored further. Both of these have a suicide component. Taking a more holistic approach to depression, anxiety and PTSD would help also. You cannot treat each individual patient with suicidal tendancies the same. People are depressed for very diffrent reasons. The horrors of war are just one aspect. It's how and which value system they feel was violated. TBA and post concussion syndrome are still things non medical personnel do not fjlly understand. it seems like PTSD is the catch all for these signs n symptoms and in some cases it leads down the wrong path. Throwing meds at people will treat symptoms but it won't heal.

During a CR Session we help a client to circumvent normal memory recall by having them use their five senses as descriptors. This way the client is able to arrive at a level of cellular memory. The primary objective of this sequencing model is to neutralize emotions in an event and permanently remove the emotional hold from that specific event. Many patterns of behavior throughout the individual’s life are then neutralized. This creates an environment clean from distracting emotions.

Clients, CR Practitioners, and Master CR Practitioners live on 5 continents, in 12 countries including 24 US States. CR is online and therefore, clients can reach us from anywhere in the world without counseling, therapy, or meds and no office visits.
