LONDON--(Business Wire)--
The phenomenal demand for a new and remarkably successful Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder (PTSD) treatment developed by ex servicemen for ex servicemen has led
them to issue an urgent plea to the public on Remembrance Day for £100,000 of
emergency funding.
Ex SAS veteran Bob Paxman has ploughed all his six figure savings made from work
in Afghanistan and Iraq into helping his colleagues overcome PTSD. He has even
sold his car and has now put his house at risk. The success rate of treatments
is such it has been recently highlighted in the media (BBC1 Inside Out, This
Morning etc.) and this has led to a cash crisis as thousands more mentally ill
veterans desperately seek their help.
Paxman was so relieved to be cured by ex serviceman Mick Stott`s unique
introspective therapy for PTSD he set up a Charity, Taking2Minds, to provide
courses for other ex soldiers. They ran their first official course in February
2009 and have so far successfully treated 77 cases of PTSD and several thousand
suffering from severe stress related disorders. Many turned to them as a last
resort, with some having even attempted suicide. The statistical analysis
results are truly remarkable.
Bob says: `I suffered PTSD since leaving the SAS and I had tried everything the
NHS could offer but to no avail. Mick`s course was an immediate cure and my one
goal since was to share that treatment with my colleagues. Ex soldiers who have
nightmares, aggressive problems, can`t sleep etc. feel very abandoned and
misunderstood by society, the MOD and NHS. We are changing lives. In the vacuum
of dedicated help, soldiers are now treating soldiers.
But as ex servicemen, we have neither the time nor facility to raise funds and
desperately need to employ an Appeals Co-ordinator and set up an office to start
fundraising so we can help the thousands who have contacted us in the last two
months. There is a dire need to set up a helpline.`

Background Notes
Biography - Bob Paxman
Bob is the Founder of Talking2Minds and has spent that last 2 years studying and
developing the Talking2Minds product with Mick Stott in order to provide help
for those that need it.
Bob is former Royal Engineers and 22 Special Air Service who has served in many
hostile environments worldwide, both as a member of the armed forces and as a
private security management professional. He has spent over 20 years in adverse
and high pressure environments.
Following a medical discharge from military service and having spent years
suffering from nightmares and flashbacks, Bob was eventually diagnosed with PTSD
and began the painful journey along the traditional treatment routes trying to
find help. It quickly became apparent that the existing treatment systems could
not provide the level of help required so he decided to explore elsewhere for
assistance. Eventually Bob discovered the Quantum Performance Synergy process
which Talking2Minds has now adopted and developed.
Bob has been actively involved in developing the Talking2minds Synergy
Therapeutic Process that is specifically designed to help those that suffer from
PTSD and other severe stress related disorders.
In 2008 Bob decided to dedicate his time and energy to his life's purpose of
helping those that still suffer from PTSD and other severe stress related
disorders, assisting them back to health and helping them to regain their self
worth, self-identity and to realise their full potential.
