Chadds Ford Hypnosis helping veterans with PTSD

Posted by Press Release on June 11, 2014

May 26, 2014 – Chadds Ford, PA – In appreciation for all that our military veterans have done for us, Chadds Ford Hypnosis is proud to announce ‘The Veterans’ Care Program.’

“Far too many of our veterans return home from combat filled with anger, fear, guilt, shame or remorse,” says Thomas McGurn, Director of Chadds Ford Hypnosis. Mr. McGurn continued, “Many who suffer with Post-Traumatic Stress do not get the help they need to relieve the stress and anxiety that has been tormenting them. Many also refuse to talk about their experiences.”

McGurn is an Air Force veteran who served in the Dominican Republic in 1965 as part of the Organization of American States Task Force to combat the communist insurgency. He knows first-hand what veterans experience in combat. This is one of the reasons why he created a special Stress Management Program designed specifically to help veterans who experience flashbacks or nightmares as a result of Post-Traumatic Stress.

McGurn is a master practitioner of neuro-linguistic programming and certified hypnotist. He first became a certified Hypnotist in 1979 after studying at The Ethical Hypnosis Training Center under Mr. Harry Arons. He is a proud member of The National Guild of Hypnotists and is also a Certified Hypnosis Trainer.

The Stress Management Program teaches veterans how to identify and control the danger signals that drive unwanted behavior. Chadds Ford Hypnosis teaches strategies necessary to prevent having negative reactions to triggers by utilizing effective stress management techniques. Veterans learn how to identify and control stress triggers, overcome obstacles and increase optimism.

In addition to the Stress and Anxiety Reduction Program, Chadds Ford Hypnosis also offers veterans both individual and group sessions that range from stopping smoking to helping them with relationship problems.

As a partner in the Delaware County Veterans Discount Program, Chadds Ford Hypnosis offers programs to veterans at a 50 percent or more reduction in cost. For those who qualify with a 100 percent service related disability, the services are provided at no cost to the veteran. The Web site has a complete list of programs and services offered - www.ChaddsFordHypnosis.com. For veterans who do not have access to a computer, Chadds Ford Hypnosis can be reached at 610.361.4446.
