Meditation Eases Post Traumatic Stress Disorder!
Early findings from the Oregon Health & Science University study show meditation has helped ease Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms.
Iraq War veteran Jeff Bounds, 46, of Vancouver says he “noticed a big difference” when he tried meditation. Bounds served two tours in Iraq. He was badly hurt, and spent more than a hear in the hospital. He said his PTSD was overwhelming at times.
“You’re always looking (over your shoulder). I still am (getting) nightmares, flashbacks,” Bounds said.
Bounds said classes to help with PTSD did not work, so in August, he enrolled in the small Oregon Health & Science University study. Bounds saidl meditation changed his life. He said it helps him daily “stay present in stressful situations.”
Many veterans come home from war with strong reactions to sudden noises.
