Thus the client and counselor are beginning at an equal foundation.

Veterans:
The military way kept them alive, kept them safe, but arriving home the carry over may be more than they can handle. Sometimes it seems like the PTSD that was a natural part of being in the military, seems to be the force that they should have left behind, but is a part of the soldier now and cannot be left behind. It remains with the veteran and interferes with civilian life.
