Psychotherapy for Chronic PTSD: A Vietnam Vet's Journey
How does PTSD look from the inside, and how is it treated? In this unique training video, we find out firsthand from Terry, a Vietnam vet who witnessed his friend’s brutal death in combat. We then follow his post-combat life: the struggle of living with PTSD for 40 years, and finally getting his life back with the help of renowned PTSD expert Dr. Frank Ochberg.

Through revealing personal interviews, commentary, and actual therapy sessions between Terry and Dr. Ochberg, this comprehensive video documents Terry’s two-year-long therapeutic process of healing from chronic PTSD. Terry’s courage in sharing the intimate details of his thoughts, feelings, and behaviors through his struggle brings a rare depth and insight to Ochberg’s step-by-step explanations and demonstrations of PTSD-specific techniques and strategies.

Trauma has become an ever more common life experience, and knowing how to treat someone with PTSD should be a part of every therapist’s repertoire. This video offers a unique window into both the great suffering that PTSD can create in our clients, and the journey toward reclaiming the richness and meaning in their lives.
"I just finished both disks in one sitting, and filled a bowl with tissues from wiping my eyes and blowing my nose--unexpected wisdom and kindness always does that to me. Sometimes it was Frank Ochberg, sometimes it was the veteran, and sometimes his wife, and also seeing this man come to life over the course of the work. 

Frank Ochberg is a master clinician. Take it in as role-modeling: consistent use of plain talk, and talking and acting from a well-informed heart. You will see before your eyes excellent examples of therapeutic tact, timing, therapeutic alliance, and a practical approach in individual therapy of what I have called the “cycle of the communalization of trauma” through survivor narrative and listener retelling. Advice on psychotherapeutic technique with trauma patients is offered in such a quiet, unobtrusive way that you are liable to miss it. My advice on his advice: make a transcript of everything Frank says about why he does what he does and how he does it."
