Effective Energy-Psychology
Mental health is a state of psychological comfort. Distinguished by continuous personal development, sense of purpose, ability to focus, self-acceptance & maintaining positive relations with family and friends. Mental health is expressed and gauged by how we feel, think and respond to the stressors and challenges of daily life.
Veterans Mental Health Services
Veterans, like other civilians, can often be overcome by feelings of sadness, anger, frustration, fear and low self-worth. In the majority of presenting cases these emotions and beliefs are temporary, easily relieved, and have roughly no impact on one’s capacity to function. However, if it begins to negatively affect capability and demeanor, seeking Veterans Mental Health Services can be incredibly effective.
Though it’s completely normal for those who have experienced a traumatic event to encounter challenges adjusting afterwards, you don’t have to face these obstacles alone. These challenges can be severe and prolonged.
Know that you don’t have to wait for an emergency to occur before finding help. Be proud and secure in reaching out as there is no shame in self-care.
Operational Stress Injury
Operational stress injuries (OSI) cause unrelenting psychological distress that results from operational duties performed while serving in the Armed Forces. These injuries also impact First Responders as well as members of the Police force.
Operational Stress Injury is a term used to describe a vast range of issues, including diagnosed conditions such as anxiety disorders, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It also includes other less severe conditions that can interfere with daily functioning and impact military families.
Confronting your issues and fighting for yourself is the only path to true healing

Military Grade
You Are Military Grade.
Knowing you need to seek assistance in healing is a sign of pure strength and wisdom, not weakness.
Asking for help requires courage. Actively taking charge of your situation and wanting to increase your ability to help yourself is a vital step to recovery.
Some people feel ashamed to need help or ask for help. But think about this:
- We’re not alone. There are people here to help you right now, just as you’ve helped others before.
- Military Personnel and Veterans who receive support after trauma experience fuller sense of healing than those who don’t.
- Asking for help is normal. It’s common to have difficulties after a trauma, such as sleep disorders, anger issues, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse.
- Seeking assistance doesn’t mean you’re broken or unable to function. In most cases people continue normal daily routines while recovering.
- Never feel guilt or shame for wanting to be you again. Know that you are doing this not just for yourself, but for your family as well. They want you back.
Other trauma related disorders, phobias & issues
Addiction
For Military Veterans, returning home from war marks the start of a lifelong struggle with PTSD and Addiction. For Veterans PTSD coupled with substance abuse can often trigger the anger, pain, relationship/family issues, isolation and sleep deprivation. When Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is left untreated, turning to drugs & alcohol not only creates new problems, but will considerably worsen the underlying condition.
Depression
Veterans who are battling Post Traumatic Stress Disorder can become completely overwhelmed by negative emotions. A Military Veteran may also have trouble establishing trust, experience feelings of guilt, shame and remorse, become disinterested with previously enjoyable activities and find it increasingly difficult to feel happy.
Nightmare Disorder
Nightmares are considered to be the cornerstone symptom of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in military personnel. Studies show that 2-8% of civilian adults have nightmares on a weekly basis. For Military Veterans this number skyrockets. As many as 96% of Veterans diagnosed with having post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) experience vivid and disturbing recurring nightmares. This has a direct negative impact on achieving quality sleep.
Phobia Development
Serving in the Armed Forces is a noble, honorable and highly respected career, though it is definitely not for the faint of heart. During military service, many encounter conditions and situations which the average person likely wouldn't be able to handle. Regardless of physical and mental toughness, these events very often leave an undesirable psychological imprint or scar. Many Service Members and Veterans develop phobias that are caused by events experienced while performing duties.
Suicide / Intrusive Thoughts
Military Personnel and Veterans suffering with PTSD tend to have intrusive thoughts related to the traumatic event experienced. These harmful memories or images normally bring about other symptoms of PTSD, such as sleep disorders and hypervigilance. Experiencing trauma can increase a person's risk of suicide. Among Military Veterans, studies show that combat trauma is directly associated to suicide. For Veterans with PTSD, the strongest link to both suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts is the extreme guilt regarding actions taken during times of war. These intense thoughts are often overwhelming and often unbelievably hard to ignore.
Family Issues
When Military Veterans return home with PTSD, symptoms often weigh heavily on the entire family. Getting along with those closest to you can be an increasingly difficult task, leaving family members feeling hurt, helpless and frustrated Those fighting PTSD can be quite hard to handle. Sharing a home with someone who may now be easily startled, has frequent nightmares, and avoids social interactions takes a toll on even the most compassionate and understanding family. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder has an incredibly harmful impact on families.
Overcome trauma & live the life you deserve.
