This article written by US Army Retired Colonel, Dr. Sharon Richie-Melvan was published in the American Organization of Nurse Executives Journal, Voices, November 2011 Edition. Dr. Richie-Melvan shares her inspiring story of strength and resilience. "Being on the other side of the therapy equation and facing my own invisible wounds proved to be just what I needed to heal. It left me rejuvenated and within a few weeks ready to terminate my sessions, but my therapist wanted me to deal with a physical assault I had experienced 30 years ago. She felt strongly that I had Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and the traumatic memory needed to be cleared. She ordered me to see Dr. Jon Connelly, founder of a special type of therapy called Rapid Resolution Therapy® to help me get past this issue. While I was initially skeptical, the treatment worked well and once the subconscious conflicts were brought to light and resolved, my mind was cleared, organized and optimized. I truly was a new woman ready for whatever came next. This resolution would set the stage for a lot of my future work with military personnel."
