Modalities
Depth elements
Operates from a fundamentally different paradigm: instead of treating PTSD as a disorder to be managed, applies the science of Posttraumatic Growth to help veterans and first responders transform suffering into genuine psychological development. The 18-month Warrior PATHH model engages mind, body, heart, and spirit. Closer to depth psychology's vision of individuation through suffering than standard medical-model approaches.
