Hello, If you have tried to contact me please know my computer has been down for the last several days. My phone, by coincidence also died. The computer is mostly fixed and the phone is still not properly working.
I need to work on catching up on my students’ work and then will return to writing for PTSD Spirituality. Thank you for your patience. Semper Pax, Dr. Z

Am doing research on alternative therapies for treatment of ptsd. Have assembled some 900 articles, studies, and so on, about 290 mb of material…please inform me of what your connection is with the subject; I am fairly light on matters of faith, spirituality, religion, etc.
Thanks.
Stephen
Hello Stephen, Thank you for taking time to visit the site. I am a disabled army veteran with PTSD and also a Catholic Theologian who teaches about scripture, non-violence, and the spiritual dimensions of trauma. While there is a medical side to PTSD there is also a spiritual side. I attempt to address the spiritual side of PTSD and help people to understand that side of it as well as to offer Hope. That all said, I continue to endorse the medical treatment of PTSD. You may be interested in the pages called About Dr. Z and Dr. Z Interviews to help you get a better picture of what I do. Thank You & Semper Pax, Dr. Z
Stephen,
I just want to encourage you to explore the spiritual side of PTSD recovery and the healing it can offer to the wounded soul. Dr. Z has been a tremendous help to me since this past September. I am a person who loves a veteran with PTSD. The spiritual insight and recovery clearly play a very important part in complete recovery. Whether you are Christian or not, we are in fact composed of both body and soul. It appears to me that healing the wounds to the soul can speed up the whole process of PTSD recovery. Ignoring the spiritual side, in my opinion, would lead to incomplete recovery. You’ve found a tremendous resource in Dr Z!
Becky,
You are so right about how helpful Dr Z can be in the healing needed for PTSD. I totally agree that without the spiritual component, complete healing is almost impossible. So glad to hear that you’ve found help as you support someone close to you with PTSD.
Regards and best wishes,
Queta
