About Lance:
Lance's journey began when he enlisted in the Army in December
2002. During his time in the military, he was deployed to Iraq and
Afghanistan. He ended his contract in April 2009 and moved back
into the civilian world. While going to school, a colleague of his
told him to get his military disability re-assessed. A few months
later Lance met with a VA psychologist and was diagnosed with
PTSD.
Roughly a year later, Lance decided to seek treatment through the
VA. He regularly saw a counselor and was not getting the results he
wanted. On top of other symptoms, he had constant low-grade
headaches and wasn't sleeping well. The doctor told him “that's
normal” and prescribed him medication. As a doctor, Lance, who
effectively treats headaches on a daily basis, was frustrated
because he was not able to make any change in himself.
At this point, he decided that the VA and the normal medical model
wasn't going to work for him. After doing much reading and
research, he found his way to Dr. Mark Gordon and the
Millennium-WAF TBI Project. They started treating his PTSD as a TBI
(Traumatic Brain Injury). Treatment cleared Lance's mind and gave
him a vision of how he wanted to help others.
Lance took a deep dive into personal work. He found out that the
stories we tell ourselves affect how we see the world around us.
The work that Lance did on himself inspired him to coach others to
make similar changes in their lives. All the tools that he uses
have been put to the test.
