A Personal Appeal from Founder, Bob Paxman

Talking2Minds Desperately needs your help to help those that are suffering from severe stress related conditions and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Bob says "I suffered PTSD after many years working in hostile environments while serving in the SAS. After trying all the traditional medical treatments that the NHS has to offer I became increasingly desperate to get some kind of quality of life.

What I have discovered is that for many of us experiencing PTSD is that the drugs don't work and Paradigm Therapy™ offers relief from the symptoms of PTSD by working at the clients own pace to pick up the pieces and rebuild their lives".

PTSD and severe stress related conditions are complex and can show itself at any time, often years after serving in the armed forces. If we look at the falklands war it is known that 255 died during the conflict but over 300 have taken their own life since the war ended, many displaying the symptoms of PTSD.

If you look at the number of British Forces serving in Afghanisatan and Iraq over the last 10 years then there is a real problem emerging and Talking2Minds wants to help as many sufferers as possible to combat the symptoms of PTSD and severe stress related conditions before they become desperate enough to take their own lives.

 
Since launching Talking2Minds we have transformed the lives of nearly 400 vsufferers and as many family members that have suffered by Proxy with a 97% success rate and the charity offers places on the Paradigm Change Programme™ Free of Charge to all those distressed by the symptoms of PTSD and severe stress related conditions.

Why we use Paradigm Therapy™

Paradigm Therapy™ is non invasive and drug free.

Paradigm Therapy™ works with the client at their own speed to enable them to pick up the pieces of their lives and heal the mental scars.

Talking2Minds Paradigm Change Programme™ uses a holistic approach and works with the client on an individual basis to get to the root cause of the problem without revisiting the trauma as some traditional medial approaches do. 

Talking2Minds survives wholly on the commitment of volunteers.

The money we raise doesn't pay salaries or build rehabilitation centres, it goes to being able to run more courses and help the clients.

Every time I appear in the media, the phone rings with victims crying out for help and we need to respond. PTSD kills people, the incidence of service personnel leaving the armed forces and committing suicide is on the increase. It can turn celebrated soldiers into street drunks, wreck families, destroy careers and lead to long term mental health issues...."

Talking2Minds volunteers know because they have been there and come through the other side.

Talking2Minds know how to help people, want to help people and your support will help us do just that.

Every penny, every run you take part in, every collection box really does make a difference.
