In 1975, in the summer of the year, John Grinder and Richard Bandler discovered that the software the human brain is coded in pictures sounds feelings smells and tastes. This simple but profound discovery enables us to begin to reverse engineer the software of the human brain so that, when there is a coding error, we can discover the error, make changes corrections and adjustments, and drastically increase the resourcefulness of the person making the changes. Since that time these discoveries have radically altered the fields of linguistics, epistemology, semantics, not to mention sales marketing PR advertising and communication to name a few. To view these resources in action and see the immediate results is beyond magical. First of all the popular idea in most approaches dealing with these kinds of problems is that the person is somehow broken or damaged. In the world of Grinder and Bandler no one is broken they are simply doing what they have learned and, if their learnings are not taking them where they want to go, they simply need to keep learning. Second the popular myth is that people's problems result from their histories. If this is true then we are doomed for nothing can change history. There is another school of thought referred to as behaviorism. In the behavior school the problem is believed to be not history but environment. If only we can get each and every person into an idealized environment their problems will go away. This begs the question as to why prople with similar backgrounds in similar environments have radically different problems? Only in the work of Grinder and Bandler do we find the argument that it is not history or context; the problem is the way we process sensory input. To quote Dr. Bandler humans can learn to enjoy anything. Learn to enjoy the things you have to do and you will have a good life. Each and every one of us has had a difficult experience and, with the passing of time, gotten to the point that we can function normally despite having a difficult history. In other words each of us has within our neurology the tools needed to have, quite literally, any response to anything. It behooves us to choose the responses they are going to produce the desired results. This brings us to the third and final point. If we wish to get results we only need to locate those that are getting results and study them until those results become reproducible. This approach is in dramatic contrast to the approach for problems are studied until they begin to reproduce themselves on their own without the assistance of those studying the problem oriented approach results in more of the problem, the solution oriented approach produces more of the solution. Find those that are getting results, study them to the point of reproducibility, and make these learnings available to those who need them. This is the goal of the PTSD resolution project. Why are we doing this? Because it needs to be done. When will you join us in this journey, will be a long time or a short time?
