UK charity PTSD Resolution helping UK Forces’ Veterans. Trauma symptoms for *78% of Veterans treated were reduced to below the threshold requiring treatment.
Treatment is fast, local, compassionate and free to veterans.
Therapy is brief, an average of just 5 sessions required, and no further reliance on therapy, in one-to-one confidential sessions on an out-patient basis.
The trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is approved by NICE.
*Note: We do not insist on a formal diagnosis of PTSD: we measure trauma symptoms via a recognised measure, the Impact of Event Scale (IES). Using this self-reporting measure allows the person and the therapist to gauge their progress through treatment. The figure of 78% is based on the data that we routinely collect on these measures: it shows that 78% of those who entered treatment with scores that, according to the IES scale, placed them above the threshold for treatment, had reduced their symptoms to below that level at the end of their treatment. Both the person and therapist agreed that no further treatment was required. Their scores do not qualify as a diagnosis of PTSD nor does their treatment outcome indicate a ‘cure’ for PTSD: the data reflects the reduction of symptoms.
