Seven years ago I attended a July 4th party at the edge of a golf course overlooking a waterway. My friend Jon joined us. Before he sat down he warned everyone at the table that he had PTSD.
We nodded and carried on with our conversation.
For those of you outside of the U.S., a July 4th party is our Independence Day celebration and almost always ends with watching fireworks by the local municipality.
Long story short, when the fireworks started Jon jumped off his chair and ran towards the door, face white, body tight, and he yelled that “I’ve got to go!”
Another friend Betty stopped him and pointed to me: “Dan may be able to help you!”
Jon turned around and sat back down, while I got up and stood behind him.
I held his head with my palms while the fireworks exploded and whistled all around us.
Within a few minutes he shouted, all excited: “My goodness, they have no effect on me! The fireworks don’t scare me anymore!”
His PTSD reaction to the fireworks was gone.
What I did was simple yet the result was miraculous. I simply held a couple of specific points on his head which reprogrammed his brain’s stress response.
In this video you’ll learn how you can manage 5 prime emotions – fear, anger and frustration, panic and anxiety, worry, and sadness – with the technique that I used with Jon.
Additionally you can EFFECTIVELY help someone else, like your spouse, or your grandchildren!
Be sure to leave me a comment below after you’ve watched the video! Thank you!
