Is this what we've been waiting for? Nope!

UPDATE.........then again, maybe not.

I took a look at the site and was not impressed by what I read.

This was there,

Folder 8 - THE Burris Life Coach for Warriors

THE Burris Life Coach for Warriors is considered the only legitimate fix for PTSD. The reason for this is the Program Process of THE Burris Life Coach is the only proven process for depression which is the primary symptom for PTSD.

I could not find where or who declared "THE Burris Life Coach is the only proven process for depression which is the primary symptom for PTSD" especially when considering according to the website, they have been doing this for 25 years. I never heard of them before this. Who considers it the only "fix" for PTSD? Any ideas? Do police departments use it? Do fire departments use it? Has any veteran's program used it?

Along with this piece of information I'm really scratching my head now.

22% Success rate?

From their site

The recent studies, conducted by a growing team of "Master SR Coaches," show the process having widespread and consistently dramatic results on depression symptoms. One such study, conducted by Master SR Coach Dr. Ron Clark, has delivered an average 22% reduction in depression symptoms in just 4 hours. While another study, conducted by Master SR Coach Dr. Janis Smith accomplished an average 68% reduction in depression symptoms over a five week period. Dr Burris's company, THE Burris Life Coach is challenging these numbers against results shown by medications and traditional therapy.

Looks like I have to take back my optimism on this now. This PR release plus almost $4,000 for a two day mail course and no outside studies published on the effectiveness of what they claim,,,,,,looks like more of the same claims we've read for a very long time and now, I'm completely depressed all over again.

It very well may be what we've been waiting for, simply because of this part,,...

all human behavior is emotionally driven and you cannot change an emotional state unless you fully understand how an emotional state comes about

I don't know but it sounds a lot better than some of the other things they've been talking about doing.

Rand Study Supports Evidence-Based Subconscious Restructuring Process for PTSD

The only evidence-based program process in mental health uniformly complies with an extensive Rand Study on PTSD in the Military

Henderson, NV (PRWEB) June 24, 2009 -- A Rand study from the Center for Military Health Policy Research titled "Invisible Wounds of War" supports an evidence-based plan for intervention and prevention of PTSD and Suicide in the military. Subconscious Restructuring or SR has 25 years of research, development and documented results with the primary symptom of PTSD and suicide. The Rand study just confirmed what we have been attempting to convey to the mental health system for almost 20 years states Kelly Burris, PhD, developer of the SR process.

The SR process is based on the reality that all human behavior is emotionally driven and you cannot change an emotional state unless you fully understand how an emotional state comes about.

The "Implementation of Evidence-Based SR Process into the Military" proposal covered every issue and beyond brought up by this extensive Rand study. Following are the four recommendations made by Rand after the study and how they would each be addressed by the implementation of the SR Process.

1. Increase the cadre of providers who are trained and certified to deliver proven (evidence-based) care, so that capacity is adequate for current and future needs.

Implementation and integration of the Burris SR process will begin with Burris SR certification of selected Military leadership, psychiatrists, psychologists, chaplains, and Family Support Center staff, then proceed to workshops involving PTSD and/or suicidology-identified warriors and their families, then the general unit population, and their families. Burris Master-level SR Certifiers would initially certify the leadership and intervention staff, then assist in the warrior/family workshops. Over time, each unit and base will reach a point of self-sustaining competence, and the Burris staff would then both monitor incoming data from completed units and their families, and begin to implement the Burris SR program for other units and commands world-wide.

2. Change policies to encourage active duty personnel and veterans to seek needed care.

The evidence-based SR process is not psychotherapy and therefore would remove the stigma of seeking help. Everyone from new recruits to returning Warriors would go through the SR Process as part of their entry and exit from the military. A simple Follow-up with the emotional checklist could be done all throughout the term of military service which would eliminate guessing who might need help.

3. Deliver proven, evidence-based care to service members and veterans whenever and wherever services are provided.

As an already proven evidence-based intervention program with most mental health problems over some 25 years, the infrastructure put in place by Master SR Coaches would allow all service members to become a self-perpetuating healing and wellness intervention unit over time. This would ensure everyone within the Military that needed help would get it.
