Two Video Project
films were selected for screening at this week's American Psychology
Association (APA) Annual Convention in Denver — HEALING A SOLDIERS HEART and FREE THE MIND.
Here are the APA's descriptions of the two films in the convention program, and links to order:
This
documentary follows four Vietnam veterans with severe symptoms of PTSD
who go on a courageous journey back to Vietnam to face the emotional
demons that have been haunting them for close to 40 years. This profound
story addresses healing, loss, and the rediscovery of the human soul.
It is about forgiveness and psychospiritual catharsis. As one soldier
stated, “When the pain comes back, our hearts come back.”
Can
your rewire the brain through contemplative neuroscience? An
extraordinary film featuring the pioneering work of Richard Davidson,
PhD, University of Wisconsin–Madison, about the potential of mindfulness
meditation in treating preschool children and war veterans in
overcoming effects of trauma.
