Dan Hoaglin may be the poster-child for PTSD in upstate New York.
After that, Hoaglin quit drinking,
and he turned to an alternative energy therapy called EFT(Emotional Freedom Techniques).
Tapping the acupressure points to remove anxiety is something that Hoaglin can do himself,
but Porpiglia said he would offer more services if Hoaglin's condition worsens.
It all came to a head on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks,
when Hoaglin told the news channel that he began to experience an“empty rage.”.
Last spring, Hoaglin talked with News8 television in Rochester, N.Y., about how difficult
it was to return to civilian life after being conditioned by years of survival under battlefield conditions.
Last week, Porpiglia told me that Hoaglin's scores had risen from 24 to 38,
adding“this is a bit unusual so early in the cycle, but given all that he has been through, understandable.”.
Hoaglin said he tried just about everything- diet
and nutrition, hypnotherapy, exposure therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, medications, and Reiki energy therapy- but he was still thinking about committing suicide on a daily basis.
