Really....that’s interesting. I’m actually open to the idea of being wrong. It’s just very hard to see how I could be.
With the type of PTSD I’m familiar, any attempt to desensitize would be catastrophic.
However, not all cancers kill so maybe there are sources of PTSD that lead to a sub-type of the disorder that responds to desensitization.

I’m no expert. I’m just repeating what the AF SP trainer said. He said that after coming home he had trouble sleeping, he was jumpy and certain things triggered panic attacks. When he first started running the simulator he said the video and sound got his heart racing. He said he could smell burning powder. After a month or so on the job, he said the sensations tapered off.
He was lucky to get this job after coming back from his deployment. It worked out great for him. In the same situation, others might have had a melt down.
