Page 217 - Total War on PTSD

I had avoided doing this for two years but I could vividly see myself opening one box, knowing exactly what items were in the box and finding a place for each item, whether stored inside the house, in the garage or thrown out. I then moved on to the next box, and the next, and I saw the entire process in my head, one box at a time until there were no more boxes left. And just like that, my time was up. I spent the entire time in the pod in my own head and sensory deprivation had allowed me to avoid distractions and acknowledge my own thoughts. I left the spa with a very clear and realistic plan to clean up my garage. Since then I can say I have been very aware of my emotions. This doesn’t mean I don’t get anxious or have panic attacks. It simply means I am aware of and can make plans that counter that state-of-mind as it occurs as opposed to wandering lost with no explanation for my actions.”
Chris: "It is exciting to see the progress that is being made over the last couple years with the scientific studies. Hopefully someday soon there will be enough peer reviewed data that float therapy could be adopted as a legitimate treatment for PTSD. In order for that to happen we need to create more public awareness of floating in general and ask that more studies are done to demonstrate its efficacy. This would then allow governmental agencies and insurance companies to help cover the cost of treatments, thus providing it to a much wider audience."
"In the meantime, we highly recommend that any Veterans suffering from PTSD search for a float location near you. By simply searching online for "float center + (enter your city name) you should find that most major cities have a float center within an hour drive.”
