What is your EQ?
What is the most effective way to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)?

Define the words in your EQ to make sure we are on the same page regarding what your EQ means.
By "most effective" I mean what helps people get their life together the fastest. 

What are some possible answers to your EQ so far?
So far, EMDR, support group therapy, and pharmacological approaches.

What has been your most important source and why? Be Specific. If it is a person, name them and what they do, if it is an article, book or video, name the title and author.
The most important sources I have so far are my first interview, WebMD, and the Defense Center of Excellence. My first interview, Gina Tarango, has been a psychologist for more than ten years. She explained the importance of detail, and the connection of everything. She also gave me a book on somatic therapy, which I will look into later. The WedMD article "Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)" has the different stats on how different demographics are affected, and the symptoms that they show. The Defense Center of Excellence article "PTSD: Treatment Options" has the various treatment methods, and in what scenarios they're used for.

  1. This generally looks good. Have you set up an interview with Mario Ruiz yet?
