A woman describes healing from PTSD after years of failed conventional treatments like CBT and EMDR. Within weeks of a new program, her nightmares stopped and her confidence returned enough to earn a $12,000 full-ride scholarship to business school, something she'd abandoned years earlier.
So back in January, I guess you could say I was a little bit of a hot mess. PTSD had control of my life. I have been in recovery for many, many years. I have been in cognitive behavioral therapy. I have done EMDR, but it just didn't get me to a point in my life where I was functioning. The first few weeks into the program, I, I saw amazing results, and I was so surprised. I had no idea that I would see results that quickly. I was able to eliminate My nightmares. I have completely changed the way I think. I also applied for a business management program. I honestly didn't think I would be chosen, but I was, and I'm getting a full ride. Full ride. $12,000 worth of education for free. And there's no way, no way I would have had the confidence to go for this kind of thing because PTSD forced me to drop out of school. I knew that one day I really wanted to go back to school, but I didn't realize how quickly I would go back to school.
