<\/figure>\n\n\n\nEach approach<\/a> we use is based on the latest neuroscience research to bring calmness to the mind and nervous system. This allows our clients to feel open to connecting with others and building relationships with loved ones, and even begin to have fun, feel joy and have purpose again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many factors go into healing from painful past experiences. Traumatic experiences can leave invisible wounds that can manifest in strange ways. For some people, the memories and emotions associated with trauma can be so overwhelming that they can\u2019t live everyday life. They may have trouble sleeping, constantly feel on edge, or have flashbacks and nightmares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n New advancements in brain mapping<\/a> are changing the game by helping us understand how the brain responds to trauma. Brain mapping \u2013 which uses neuroimaging to create a detailed map of the brain \u2013 provides us insights into how the mind responds to trauma. We use this information so that we know the brain is being repaired from the damage caused by extreme stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s more, these therapies are non-invasive and have very little risk. That\u2019s important because many people are reluctant to take medications \u2013 especially when they come with the risk of addiction. With these methods, Operation Warrior Resolution\u2019s<\/a> therapy sessions keep the client present so they don\u2019t have to revisit their trauma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Brain-based therapies, such as The Cortina Method that Operation Warrior Resolution<\/a> uses, are still relatively new, but the popularity of these treatments has been largely due to the demand from veterans of wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. After exploring experiential therapies for treating post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injuries, addiction, and depression, many former military members have become fervent advocates for the broader use of alternative healing methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Imagine, for a moment, being able to see inside the brain of a veteran with PTSD. We can now do just that with the help of neuroimaging technologies<\/a>. And what we are seeing is often problematic \u2013 vast areas of damage caused by years of stress and trauma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But there is hope. These same imaging techniques are also helping us to see which treatments are effective for PTSD and other conditions. By targeting the specific areas of the brain that have been affected, we have helped veterans heal their wounds and reclaim their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s crucial to our methodology is that nobody goes through it alone. We facilitate organized retreats<\/a> where cohorts of veterans experience the therapies together and participate in other wellness activities like yoga<\/a>, meditation, chiropractic and chronic pain management, equine therapy<\/a>, martial arts such as Brazilian jiu jitsu and workshops on optimizing health and nutrition<\/a>. We are not just healing trauma but creating lifelong connections and a life where veterans can thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Operation Warrior Resolution<\/a> has helped over one hundred veterans through our retreat programs and almost another thousand through other activities and events in the Sarasota, Florida, area. And we are just getting started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Find us online at www.operationwarriorresolution.org<\/a> or on Facebook at www.facebook.com\/OperationWarriorResolution<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
