"What Is PTSD?" on November 18 "Why Shamanism Now?" Radio Show with Shaman and Host Christina Pratt

On "Why Shamanism Now? A Practical Path to Authenticity", Christina Pratt talks about post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) - how it's really an issue of soul loss and how sufferers must step beyond psychiatric methods in order to find healing.



    PORTLAND, OR, November 14, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Streaming live on the Co-Creator Radio Network on Tuesday, November 18, at 11am Pacific/2pm Eastern on "Why Shamanism Now? A Practical Path to Authenticity," shaman and founder of the Last Mask Center for Shamanic Healing Christina Pratt tell listeners that post-traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD, is an issue of the soul, not the mind. To define PTSD as a psychiatric disorder is to miss the simplicity of what it is and how we can alleviate the suffering now for those who are trapped in a post-traumatic stress response to everyday. According to Pratt, when we understand the soul loss involved in PTSD and include shamanic healing in the modalities prescribed, we can bring healing to those who have been damaged by their experience in terrifying ordeals, situations in which their life was threatened, or sustained situations that involve the constant threat of physical harm.

In this week's episode of "Why Shamanism Now?" titled "What Is PTSD?", Pratt explores what PTSD is, why it isn't just getting triggered by unresolved issues of the past, and why we as a culture must begin to encourage suffers of PTSD to step beyond the boundaries of psychiatry to heal for themselves and for the next generations.
