Resilience BS still being pushed to prevent PTSD
Resilience BS still being pushed by people that do not understand PTSD.
Does TM work? Yes because it helps the body to calm down, but so does Yoga, taking long walks and listening to calming music, praying, writing and you name it. When they work on teaching their bodies to calm down again, it all helps. Is TM the answer to all? No. Nothing is. The most harmful thing about this report is they are still pushing Resilience Training which has proven to be a failure. The results of the military suicides from last year alone prove that it does not work and they cannot prevent PTSD unless they do the one thing that has been proven to at least help. Having someone with the proper training to listen to them RIGHT AFTER THE TRAUMA before it has time to sink in.

On May 3rd, 2012 the David Lynch Foundation held an international summit on the effects of Transcendental Meditation (TM) on veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and other stresses, as well as how TM can help build resilience in the brain in active duty military.
Since 2005 the David Lynch Foundation has shared Transcendental Meditation with our most stressed populations.
