Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.27,0:02:06.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And to enable our warriors\Nto use these weapons,

Dialogue: 0,0:02:10.78,0:02:14.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we are good at training\Nour warriors to fight.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.53,0:02:18.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yet when we consider the experience\Nof the modern day combat veteran,

Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.61,0:02:25.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why is that?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.73,0:02:29.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, our ancestors lived\Nimmersed in conflict,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.03,0:02:32.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they fought right where they lived.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.32,0:02:35.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So until only very recently\Nin our evolutionary history,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.34,0:02:37.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there was hardly a need to learn\Nhow to come home from war,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.86,0:02:41.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because we never really did.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.38,0:02:45.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But thankfully today, most of humanity\Nlives in far more peaceable societies,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.90,0:02:47.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and when there is conflict,

Dialogue: 0,0:02:49.52,0:02:53.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,now have the technology to put\Nour warriors through advanced training,

Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.70,0:03:05.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But just imagine for a moment\Nwhat this must feel like.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.10,0:03:08.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've spoken with veterans who have told me\Nthat one day they're in

Dialogue: 0,0:03:10.43,0:03:13.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where they saw carnage and death,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.64,0:03:16.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and just three days later\Nthey found themselves

Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.47,0:03:23.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Mindfuck" is the most common term.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.87,0:03:27.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's the most common term\NI've heard to describe that experience.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.80,0:03:28.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that's exactly what that is,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.54,0:03:33.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because while our warriors\Nspend countless hours training for war,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.34,0:03:36.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we've only recently come to understand\Nthat many require training

Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.29,0:03:43.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, like any training, the best\NPTSD treatments require repetition.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.60,0:03:56.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,No. We train them on the range\Nand in specific contexts,

Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.53,0:04:19.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and this is a kind\Nof mental recalibration.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.33,0:04:22.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When veterans come home from war,\Ntheir way of mentally framing the world
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.63,0:04:26.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is calibrated to an immensely\Nmore dangerous environment.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.35,0:04:29.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So when you try to overlay\Nthat mind frame

Dialogue: 0,0:04:32.20,0:04:33.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you get problems.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.35,0:04:37.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You begin drowning in worries\Nabout dangers that aren't present.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.92,0:04:41.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You begin not trusting family or friends,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:41.94,0:04:44.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is not to say that there are\Nno dangers in civilian life.

Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.12,0:04:49.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's just that the probability\Nof encountering them
Dialogue: 0,0:04:49.48,0:04:50.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,compared to combat
Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.65,0:04:53.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is astronomically lower.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:53.72,0:04:56.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we never advise veterans\Nto turn off caution completely.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:56.85,0:04:59.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We do train them, however,\Nto adjust caution

Dialogue: 0,0:05:55.63,0:05:57.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, at first he was very anxious.

Dialogue: 0,0:07:09.26,0:07:14.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but with enough practice, those memories\Nare no longer as raw
Dialogue: 0,0:07:14.11,0:07:16.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or as painful as they once were.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:16.55,0:07:20.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They don't feel emotionally\Nlike they just happened yesterday,

Dialogue: 0,0:07:25.02,0:07:27.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But it's often difficult,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:27.64,0:07:32.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and like any training,\Nit may not work for everybody,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:32.03,0:07:34.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and there are trust issues.

Dialogue: 0,0:07:39.76,0:07:44.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But at the point of returning\Nto civilian life, you do not require

Dialogue: 0,0:08:08.14,0:08:10.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it hasn't always been easy.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:10.26,0:08:13.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There have been times where I have\Njust felt my heart break,

Dialogue: 0,0:08:15.85,0:08:19.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But these training-based treatments\Nwork so well
Dialogue: 0,0:08:19.50,0:08:22.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that whatever this work takes out of me,\Nit puts back even more,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:22.16,0:08:26.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because I see people get better.

Dialogue: 0,0:08:37.80,0:08:39.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and what's amazing to me
Dialogue: 0,0:08:39.31,0:08:43.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is that after 43 years of suffering,\Nit only took him 10 weeks

Dialogue: 0,0:08:46.15,0:08:48.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And when I spoke with him, he told me,
