About Steve Brungard
Expertise
After five years of training focused on post trauma and related issues, I did more than collect a few diplomas; I graduated from victim to survivor. It is that personal immersion and accomplishment that brings me to allexperts.com and provides you with an ally.

Experience
I hold an associates degree in social science, [Harrisburg Area Community College] and a bachelors degree in social science along with a counselor training certificate in chemical dependency [Penn State University]. I also hold a commission as a Chief Warrant Officer in the United States Army [honorably discharged] and the best training ever given to any helicopter pilot on earth. It was with that commission and training that I served two tours of duty in Southeast Asia from 1968 to 1970 where I saw much of what happens when a human society disintegrates and human beings are overwhelmed.

Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome - Memories


Expert: Steve Brungard - 9/15/2009

Question
Do you know of any methods or exercises to recall distant memories?

Answer
Hi Adam;

Hypnotic regression is often helpful. If a traumatic event occurred somewhere after the memory period you seek, it will be ideal if the person administering hypnotic regression has a good understanding of post trauma LIVING.

You can also do some sleuthing on your own. Work your way back from moments and events that you have a clear memory of. Consider anything that might trigger a flashback to the memory you seek. That could be anything from a full blown experience to a smell or a simple object.

You and I know that the memory you seek is on record. Not having command access to that record is frustrating..

I wish you well,
Steve
