"When we witness violence, death, fear, stress, and suffering, a change takes place in our being. No one is immune and everyone is affected. The question then emerges: 'How do you return to a peaceful life from a defensive posture, emotional detachment, and prolonged stress?' The challenge is that often our subconscious mind doesn't realize that we are no longer in the combat zone... even if we are physically at home. EFT gave me back the quality of life that I remembered from my past. Please, consider these EFT sessions — they are a free service to veterans from volunteers who know where we come from."
