A Possible True Treatment for PostTraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

I located a website for this:

I'm snowed under at work, but I will be reading this ASAP.
 
Thanks for posting this link, lrs. It was very informative. However, it did not address my question about handedness and brain hemisphere dominance. Does anyone know whether handedness makes a difference in this approach?? I am finding this very frustrating. Well, in part, it's because of being left handed: I have a hard time sorting out left/right issues, blah. For a simple example, if I'm in a car (not driving) and giving directions to someone, I have to hold out the appropriate arm to indicate the correct direction to turn. I can't say it. I have to show it. It's really weird. But I've heard from other leftys that they have to do the same thing.

I would really like to try this kind of approach to healing, but I am concerned about the left/right brain thing, because I have ample evidence in my own experience that lefthanders and righthanders have some real differences in the ways in which their brains work. Anyone???
 
I pray there is one. I'm tired of living in this emotional hell.
 
There are a lot more questions than answers in this area. I think you will have to do some searching and some reading. And I dont' know if science has answered this as of yet. I personally think that this is the key area in unraveling the cause of ptsd, and in researchers and professionals developing an effective course of treatment for ptsd.
If you do a google search for ptsd hemispherical lateralization, a number of hits come up.
In addition, there was a good discussion on this forum at
