Pilot research study evaluates program designed to help through healing
If you’re a service member of veteran who has trouble controlling your anger, you’re not alone. This is one of the most commonly reported problems upon reintegration from a military deployment and by veterans within the VA. Unfortunately, chronic anger can result in problems with relationships, job/career, and even the law. If left unaddressed, it can lead to aggression, violence, and suicidal thoughts.
Oftentimes, anger problems stem from having experienced a betrayal, either by the military or by individuals, including loved ones.
The STRONG STAR Consortium based at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio is evaluating a program designed to help with this type of anger and aggression. Called Countering Chronic Anger and Aggression Related to Trauma and Transgressions (CART), the treatment focuses on helping service members deal with transgressions they have suffered by making meaning of them, letting go of ineffective resentment, and finding purpose after betrayal.
Participation in the pilot study is being offered at no charge through the STRONG STAR Clinic at C.R. Darnall Army Medical Center, on post at Fort Cavazos (formerly Fort Hood).
