A Pain That Drives 18 Veterans to Suicide Every Day – – a Total of 6,552 Veterans Each Year

In this compelling and powerful video, Dr. Peter Levine, The Meadows’ Senior Fellow and developer of Somatic Experiencing®, demonstrates this treatment with an Iraq Veteran diagnosed with severe PTSD. Somatic Experiencing is a proven method for treating PTSD in combat veterans.

As Dr. Levine explains, many soldiers bring the war back with them and if they don’t resolve the war experience, then they bring that kind of violence back into the home. It makes relating to their spouse and children almost impossible. Watch as Dr. Levine helps this veteran move past his traumatic war experiences.
