I'm curious - are you examining 'traditional' vs. 'alternative', or 'traditional' plus 'alternative'? Those are two very different things, as I'm sure you know. But here, you referenced:
There's a great deal of data starting to emerge on the overall benefits of things like mindfulness, meditation, yoga, and their connections to neuro-plasticity and the support of cognitive function, improvement, overall brain health. But whether or not these things are a complete replacement for other types of therapy that are more directly targeted at the trauma event itself (PE, EMDR, TF-CBT) - that's a different question, and I'm just wondering which one you are examining.
Also, when you say 'traditional', what do you mean - how broad/narrow are you defining it?
And, do you have the same parameters defined for 'alternative', or are you still developing those?
And (last one!), how does medication factor in - both typical med mgmt strategies and atypical/'herbal'/supplement/mineral?
I hope this doesn't sound like grilling - I'm genuinely curious.
And here, you say:There have been a few studies published in various medical magazines that promote the benefit of breathing based yoga that has shown to have better results than traditional psychotherapy alone...
(bolding mine for emphasis)Absolutely, I wanted to get a sense of what people in this forum feel about the current offerings in treatment, the more traditional versus alternative. The studies I came across seemed to point that alternative methods are producing better results. In one case study, traditional therapy led to relapses in PTS patients where a group that tried SKY yoga seemed to see better long term results.
