Communication Skills Tutorial for Vets
. . . completing one's military experience.
A free tutorial and password-protected forum for veterans.
The vast majority of
people carry thousands of
incompletes around
for life. Life's incompletes serve as barriers to the experience of
communication, of love, of being-here-now (in present-time), and to
consistently manifesting one's stated intentions.
Vets, with their exposure to many unique experiences, have even more
to acknowledge and process before they are whole and complete (in-integrity).
Vets who have not completed their military experiences
unconsciously drag remnants of incompletes into each present-day
interaction, each conversation. Without their
uniform a vet must recreate themselves with each new
introduction; the repetitve litany becomes a drag. Some vets become, "I'd rather not talk
about it," "You can't possibly understand," "I'm too
humble to talk about it" drama queens.
No branch of the military
clear a vet before he/she is released back into society;
vets are discharged
with thousands (yes, thousands) of incompletes (things for which
they have not been acknowledged). No VA staff offers clearings to
vets, in part because clearing skills are not included in any
university speech-comunication curriculum.
A vet who is complete experiences happiness and laughs easily
throughout most of each day. A vet who is incomplete is emotionally
bound up and seldom
happy, they routinely unconsciously create
communication breakdowns that sap the aliveness and energy of
those around him/her.
The single-most barrier to happiness for many wounded vets is
that they are
perpetually out-integrity.
Most disabled vets master lying to VA staff for which there are
undesirable compounding consequences; they live with the
consideration that if they get "better" their disability pension
might/would be reduced. A vet
intuitively knows that if they communicate their experiences
truthfully many health problems will disappear or be somewhat
minimized, consequently, they control friends and relatives (keeping
them incomplete and unable to assist in the healing). This is both
abusive and unethical.
