Introduction Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technicians (NEOD), the organization that I am currently a part of, are a small group (1500 personnel) trained in the art of bomb defusal. As a seasoned and mobile force, we specialize in a plethora of complex and dangerous tasks ranging from IED to chemical and biological weapon remediation. Post 9/11 global terrorist activities placed tremendous “operational stress” upon the NEOD community with relentless training and deployments (Jones, Hammond & Platoni, 2013, p.8). Successfully responding to, and assuming tactical command of thousands of dangerous events every year merely increased the demand signal from outside organizations. In every active war zone, a bomb technician is of high demand…

The pounding has become more constant and the Soldier is frozen. The banging grows closer and he realizes that what is heard is not actually a normal pounding on a wall, it is essentially gun fire.

He is drenched in sweat as is finally awake and again, it is a dream or more appropriately, a nightmare that feels all too real.…
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD as it is commonly referred to, is an anxiety disorder that develops following the experience or the witnessing of a traumatic life-threatening event. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, “the defining characteristic of a traumatic event is, it’s capacity to provoke fear, helplessness, or horror in response to the threat of injury or death.” (Yehuda, 2002) This event could be living through military combat in wartime, surviving a natural disaster, serious accidents, witnessing terrorist attacks, or suffering from some kind of physical or sexual assault sometime in the past either as a child or as an adult.

Trauma can occur to anyone who has been violated, hurt, or threatened, or to those who witness these acts (Smyth, 2013). Clients may have experienced trauma through child abuse, domestic abuse, sexual assault, natural disasters, life threatening illness, being threatened by death or harm, serious accidents, and many other situations where danger is present (Smyth, 2013). Trauma Informed Care (TIC) is an intervention acknowledging how all types of trauma may be impacting clients, and recognizing and responding to trauma in a safe and empowering way (Trauma-Informed Care, 2012). Experiencing trauma can significantly impact a person, and clients who have been through trauma may develop various mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, childhood behavioral disorders, substance abuse, or personality disorders (Smyth, 2013). Trauma often results in a cycle of trauma, with the traumatic event eliciting a bodily response, followed by an emotional response, and then a behavioral response; after this, each time a trigger…

Treatment for PTSD Military personnel during their deployment are at a higher risk to experience or witness a traumatic event while serving their country. A traumatic event can be a result from many different situations, such as combat exposure, or sexual/physical assault.
