Just a reminder to everyone that posts are moderated for all new

members for a period of time.



a post request we just received is part of the reason.  It was a post

with very little information about PTSD at all and only a link to a

blog promising hypnotism as a mircale cure that instantly cures PTSD.



While hypnotism may help some people it is not a cure all and not all

people are able to reach the relaxed state required for hypnotism to

work.  As a person with PTSD who sought this type of help at one

point i was told after several attempts (with different

therapists/drs) that because of the ptsd and the fear of loss of

control that comes with PTSD hypnotism was not possible for me, as

with many people who suffer from PTSD.



I am not saying hypnotism will not be possible, and i am not saying

that in some rare cases people may think it to be a "cure", but i am

saying i will not allow 1 person who claims to have a miracle cure to

post to this blog without supplying any evidence other then the

sentance "it worked for me"....because as you all know from the

infomercials on TV...things rarely work as advertised when the only

proof is "it worked for me".....whether it be hypnotism, a pill, or a

special dance to be done naked in the moonlight...you need to supply

more proof with your post...

Thanks for the good call Moderator, it is appreciated by me and I am certain

many of us.

thanks it feels good to know your behind me - i understand how much

a "cure" means to all of the people here - so i dont want to post

something that could lead anyone here to sink all thier money into

this cure only to have it not work then feel like there is something

wrong with them because this supposed cure that cost them everything

they had - was just not for them...
