Page 134 - Total War on PTSD

David started using the Blu Room in February of 2017 and has been coming twice a week for two years. He still has speech difficulties and his memory is affected but he is doing a lot better. He must pause and find his words but is able now to speak in full sentences. Sometimes he has to try several times to say what he means before it comes out with the meaning he intended.

In the last few months she notes that he is so sweet, completely transformed, moved to tears in his emotions and able to express them with the people around him. Helena notes this is not the old David, he is completely new, completely transformed, and unrecognizable from his old self.
David explains that the Blu Room can help you heal at your own pace. If you add to it by intentionally working on healing yourself and your attitudes, it can help you speed up your healing. He says he added to his healing by looking at this “negative” in his life, his “shadow,” this being out of sync with himself. He explains that if you are adding more to your healing then it will take even less time in the Blu Room, until there is a time where
