Hey Doc-
I know it has been a little more than a minute;) It took a while for me to see the difference and how much the PTS lifted… and it did my friend – we were successful – like magic… lol Below is my testimonial… I don’t know if you can use it but its honest and true.
Im a 53 year old woman who had severe PTSD for 50 years of my life… Only being diagnosed when I was 40 and then on a 13 year journey to treat my PTSD – without drugs. I am an over eater, over lover, over spender… over everything to deal with the intense bout of symptoms my PTSD afforded me… It ravaged my life, my opportunity of finding happiness, finding and keeping love, finding health and more importantly finding peace… I have incinerated all my relationships, my weight has fluctuated by 50 pounds up and down and up again… I have ran my finances into the ground and blown almost every opportunity in front of me with my outburst, extremest nature but most of all I’ve been running from myself into brick walls year after year. Plagued by suicidal attempts, 35 years of therapy, a failed marriage and a career that I could have been the best in my field in – but just barely skated by.
I found Dr Fleming in a moment of surrender – surfing google for something or someone to help me help myself before I was too old for any hope at happiness. On the new year of 2020 I worked with Dr. Fleming for 4 days – they were not the easiest, but they were also easier than living with my condition.
Today is September 19th, 2020… I bought my new home, lost my job during Covid and found an even better one. allowed myself to date, left some friendships and had some friends leave me, fall for someone and recognize the signs of what was not good enough for me… What I am describing is a “healthy” life… During all the changes, disappointments, endings and renewals of the last 9 months I felt no fight or flight PTSD… That intense feeling that brings you down to your knees – emotion over logic, devastation over reality… That incessant pounding of doom, of intense abandonment that would take me to the brink of agony – where my self loathing walls would swallow me whole. today I dont cry like the world is spinning around me, feeling worthless and abandoned with every ending. Today I feel good about me, I can assess situations and people without those distorted eyes, that twisted heart that made me feel unworthy of love.
Today, I feel “ok”… Today I feel love and awe in myself… I feel the ok I assume most people feel around me… the people who seem like they got their shit together, they feel entitle to be loved and to win… today I know i am worthy of winning, of being loved. Dr. Fleming can’t give me back the last 50 years, but he gave me shot at the next leg of my journey. The rest is and will be up to me.
I wish you all well on your journey, and urge you to have the courage to “just do it” – it will save your life, it will give you your life back.
Thank you Dr Fleming, you gave me the chance i had been dreaming and wishing for since I was a little girl. I may a woman now, but this gave me some of my innocence and hope back.
