Awaken your passion for military mental health with world class teaching by a military officer, physician and survivor of post-war trauma.

 With more than 25 years of sobriety himself, Dr. Williams knows how to not only overcome post-war family stress--but how to thrive.

Let him take your audience on a journey of a traumatic childhood, as his father suffered from post-Vietnam war trauma and other mental health issues. You'll be led through an enlightening and warm-hearted journey into a clear, evidence-based strategy to Combat PTSD-permanently.

In his book, Combat PTSD in America: Toward a Permanent Solution, Dr. Williams lays the foundation for his philosophy of PTSD treatment:

  • Trauma suvivors are not broken, there is nothing inhernently "wrong" with them.
  • Modern Combat PTSD treatments are based on female rape victims-not war survivors.
  • PTSD is not a primary medical problem; it is a problem of LEARNING.
  • Based on Classical Conditioning first demonstrated effectively by Pavlov's Dogs, PTSD sufferers need to "unlearn" the conscious, but particularly the unconscious" lessons they interpreted from the trauma.
  • Sometimes post-war life can feel like it will never get better, but there are things that make it worse!
  • Armed with the proper knowledge, one can Combat PTSD-so that the past no longer steals one's future.
