Appreciation to The Foundation for Human Enrichment

Good Day!
Many thanks to the Foundation for their support and permission to print their articles. Feel free to read: "Emotion First Aid" by Gina Ross, MFCC, and Peter Levine, Ph.D.; "Helping Children Through Trauma-Childhood First Aid" by Peter Levine, Ph.D.; and "Memory, Trauma and Healing" by Peter Levine, Ph.D.

They not only deal lovingly and compassionately with individual trauma, but with trauma begot from major disasters such as the tsunami and Katrina. They also have a comprehensive training program for professionals.

You can also visit their website at www.traumahealing.com. There is wealth of information including a provider list.

Both this website and www.non-epilepticseizures.com are looking to connect with professional association and professionals who successfully treat psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES).

I offer and challenge the medical and mental health community to come forth and offer your hearts, minds and support to help this understudied, misunderstood, and mistreated area of life.

If 30% of admitted patients to VEEG units are diagnosed with PNES, where are they now? Who is treating them successfully? What is their quality of life? Who is really caring for and about this population? In 2007, are they still the pariah of modern medicine?
