Imagine being trapped underground in a mine for 69 days in Chile. Imagine being falsely imprisoned in a foreign land. Imagine being diagnosed with a terminal disease. Imagine being a combat soldier on your first mission, surrounded by enemy fire, when your best friend steps on a mine and is blown to pieces right next to you. Imagine your child is kidnapped. Imagine being a victim of rape. Imagine being carried away in a natural disaster.How long do you endure the experience with its ubiquitous hopelessness and helplessness while plotted against time and the sustained nature of the experience with only the resources of hope, belief, and prayer? What are our natural instincts, psychological, philosophical or religious endowments that enable us to overcome and survive?This work was written as a manual to explore the nature of treatment, recovery, and to introduce awareness of factors that facilitate adaptation and mastery over the trauma sustained. Reality, as energy in laws of physics, can never be erased. What we do with the emotional reality is the key to overcoming traumatic experiences. There is always a conflict between the traumatic memories of reality and the defenses we use to combat those experiences. Successful therapy depends upon a process of learning and asking, "Where do my feelings go?"Prompted by the case studies of returning combat veterans of the Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan Wars within a military system that had no psychological exit strategy to treat them, suicide might have been the road too often chosen! In fact, we cite current statistics of twenty-one veteran suicide deaths daily."Media-Terror" is the term the author uses to indicate the unrestrained media bombardment of a traumatic event that multiplies our collective discontent thereby contributing to a global stress crisis. For example, the media's promulgation of a "virus" disease in China, "Virus Fears Hit Stocks"- biggest drop of 2020! The a priori is the basis that viruses exist, period! How do we know that such is true? Aristotle's unmovable mover, primum movens, and Thomas Aquinas' proofs of the existence of God would come into play here when the virus dogma is challenged. The author offers a definition of the noun: "virus: a convention; a technology driven method to create and thereby prove the finite existence of matter."Such an entity, for example, is Hepatitis C (virus) that causes no symptoms, is hidden within the body forever, and its existence can only be determined by testing! The human body can respond to a myriad of internal and external factors with "constitutional symptoms" such as fever, nausea, cough, malaise, etc. that are non-specific but too often attributed to some family of viruses! "You have a virus, it's going around." But, what is the proof that viruses really exist and have existed since the beginning of time when there was no technology to affirm the hypothesis of causation and existence? The pharmaceutical industry and media are without challenges from a feckless medical community mindless or ignorant of its passivity in contributing inordinate stress and confusion to a naïve public.
