Review for Starfish Foundation Inc, Milwaukee, WI, USA
I am a disabled Vietnam Vet suffering from PTSD. I was in the very first PTSD group in the nation. It was in Milwaukke, WI, in 1971. I was in a PTSD group from 1988 to 1989. I also had many 1:1 sessons through out my life dealing with PTSD. In 2002 I was in an in-patient, 60 day PTSD group. I continue to be in a group for the last 3 years. Yet I continued to carry alot of guilt, shame and sorrow that came from some experiences that occured while in Nam. I went to a Vets Journey home weekend in October of 2009. Through the processes and staff help I became relieved of the shame and guilt I had been carrying for the last 40 years. It was an epiphany. I was able to forgive myself and my PTSD symptoms have decrease as did my depression. I recommend the Vets Journey home program to any combat Vet that feels they could benefit from some intervention. The staff are extremely kind, gentile, supportive and professional. The staff go out of their way to make sure that the participants are in a safe environment. AND YOU GET A REALLY COOL T-SHIRT.
