Revolutionary PTSD Treatment: RTM and the Efforts of Rotarians Doris and Ken Kremsky

Bringing Hope to PTSD Sufferers

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a significant challenge for many individuals worldwide. While traditionally associated with military veterans, PTSD affects anyone who has endured traumatic experiences, from survivors of car accidents to those who have lived through natural disasters. New treatment methodologies are now emerging, offering hope and healing.

Introducing RTM: A Game-Changer

Rotarians Doris and Ken Kremsky are at the forefront of advocating for a groundbreaking treatment known as RTM, or Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories. This innovative approach bucks traditional methods which often necessitate prolonged exposure therapy and life-long medication. Instead, RTM offers a drug-free alternative with a remarkable success rate of 90%.

Ken Kremsky, a dedicated advocate, emphasizes, "With the treatments that were traditional, which took by many, many, many visits and were all drug related, to think that we could have a program that with sessions over two to three hours, or maybe up to five sessions without any drugs, is a 90% success rate."

The Journey to RTM’s Success

The journey towards RTM’s recognition in the broader scope of PTSD treatment began when Dr. Frank Burke, a clinician treating 9/11 survivors, refined his therapy into what is now known as RTM. In 2014, Doris and Ken Kremsky became involved after attending a Rotary training session. As Ken recounts, "It almost seems like snake oil," reflecting the skepticism many might initially feel towards such remarkable claims.

However, Doris’s conversations with military leaders and veterans converted skepticism into support. These testimonials highlighted that after RTM treatment, many individuals experienced significant relief from symptoms. One Vietnam veteran remarked, "I found a therapy that eliminated the demons I lived with all these years."

Spreading Awareness and Seeking Support

The Kremskys’ efforts, supported by Rotarians and various military connections, concentrate on spreading awareness and encouraging the adoption of RTM across the nation. Despite resistance from some institutions like the VA, initiatives are underway to promote RTM as a viable, effective treatment option. The American Legion has also urged Congress to fund RTM's broader implementation to benefit veterans and civilians alike.
