Endorsement by LT. COL. Dave Grossman, Author of "On Combat" and "On Killing"

“The Warrior Mind Training program of mental focus and mind training for US service members is an excellent program that provides proven skills to assist our nation's warriors in battle, and after. The value of this program is reflected in the initial research you have conducted, it is founded in good research and knowledge in the field of behavioral science, and it is confirmed by the glowing endorsement of the warriors who have participated. I send you a sincere 'Well done!' and I encourage you to continue in this worthy endeavor! Hooah!”

“First of all, I wanted to say thank you so much for the training you have put together and for sharing your knowledge of Mind Focus techniques. The wisdom and knowledge you are sharing is certainly a blessing to all of us. I have already started experiencing progress in my thought process and in the way I am approaching things. I feel a little bit calmer as I work throughout the day in various tasks that require a lot of concentration. So, I feel that I am already benefiting from your training.”

“Warrior Mind Training techniques have attributed to the success of my missions during the War on Terror. Being able to slow down, focus on the present situation, and foresee potential scenarios during combat situations as well as during meetings and gatherings with local inhabitants – these skills have helped me to facilitate winning the hearts and minds of the people in the midst of their everyday struggles. If these skills were put to use by every Soldier, there is no doubt in my mind that we would be a lot closer to the victory we are looking for.”

“I am an SPC in the 2nd Brigade Combat Team of the 82nd Airborne Division. My duties include treating the sick, injured and traumatically wounded in Iraq. My job is very high stress. The Warrior Mind Training class has given me knowledge of relaxation, breathing, and mental focusing techniques that have played an extremely important role in helping me maintain the focus, concentration, and edge I need to keep myself and my fellow Soldiers alive. I owe a great debt of gratitude to this Warrior Mind Training and strongly recommend this class. When the going gets tough, I just remember my Deep Listening practice, and it all gets easier. Thank you!”

“I wanted to write and thank you for what you are doing. It works. I am reading the books recommended on your website and they are and have been an incredible benefit to me. The Army moved me to Germany from Fort Bragg under some very difficult circumstances in my personal life. I think I have been able to deal with them because of the techniques I learned in your training. There is no program here in Bamberg, Germany for this type of Mind Training. Is there any way [instruction can be continued] via e-mail or directing me toward a book or audio CD? As I mentioned earlier, I have benefited, and I want to press on with any other ideas you could offer. Once again, thank you so much for what you are doing.”

“The techniques you are teaching are so very helpful. We are involved in the final 'push' to get 1300+ Soldiers through training and on planes heading to the Middle East. Deep Listening is helping to keep me grounded with the organized chaos I typically find myself involved with as an occupational hazard of my duty position. Thanks again!”

“Since taking the first class I have become more intuitive, focused and refreshed every time I [practice Warrior Mind Training]. It brings me happiness and the feeling of being content... I have been doing [Deep Listening] as part of my day-to-day routine, even here in Iraq.”

“I really enjoy class, and the techniques help me to relax and focus on the task-at-hand before and after any challenging activity. We need more warriors involved in this program.”

“I have kept practicing, and I feel more comfortable doing it; I am listening to 3 to 5 songs at a time, a total of 30 to 40 minutes per session. I have experienced that more thoughts try to intrude at the beginning, but I usually acquire higher levels of focus during the last songs, and a more relaxed body and mind, especially during the last couple of songs. So, I feel that I have made progress from the very first time that I have tried the technique.”

“After a combat tour in Iraq, I had a lot of challenges dealing with day-to-day life. Since I started Warrior Mind Training, I haven't had a situation where I couldn't manage myself. Warrior Mind Training has helped me integrate back into civilian life very smoothly.”

“My life has been enriched through the study of Deep Listening. It is a skill of great value that has helped me better understand and manage the responsibilities required of the military life especially while deployed. The immediate benefits include focus, clarity of thought, a strong will, motivation, and stress reduction –– while further study has helped me to define some of the greater purpose behind my duties as a Service Member. I highly recommend this training; it is an outstanding tool for self improvement.”

“Thank you again for your help. In just two classes, my clarity about what I have done [as a service member], and the value of the warrior ethos, has become very focused and better understood. Your care in this program is truly appreciated.”

“The Warrior Mind Training classes that I have been attending for just over three months have been very beneficial to improving several aspects of my life. I am able to focus on a whole new level that I have never been able to do before at work and with personal tasks. Socially, I have been able to navigate and make choices that genuinely benefit my life and the lives of the people around me. Having these tools would have helped to reduce the amount of stress and homesickness that I felt [while deployed]. It also would have further advanced an already successful military career.”

“Being able to focus on the here and now is pretty relevant when the boat is going 40 knots, because you are talking about a catastrophe if something goes wrong... [Warrior Mind Training] gets you in the right place. I am more focused today than I’ve been in a long time.”

“Thanks for everything. I made it through [Hell Week]! I went home and practiced Deep Listening prior to Hell Week and used some of the techniques that you taught us during Hell Week. They definitely helped. Thank you for opening my mind to this practice. It is something I would like to learn more about. Once again thanks for everything.”

“Thank you for the help with Deep Listening. It really did help me throughout Hell Week. I did make it through. You were right about a lot, and I remembered a lot of what you said. I was willing to die for it and I made it. I know a lot more about myself now than I did before. I still practice Deep Listening and will continue it for a long time. Keep in touch, thanks again.”

“The Warrior Mind Training instruction and supporting materials were first-class. The sessions were professionally prepared and presented. While the long-term benefits of Warrior Mind Training (enhancement of psychomotorskills, prevention of post-traumatic stress syndrome) could not be verified during our limited training, the use of [these techniques] for relaxation, stress reduction and increased focus were readily apparent...I fully endorse the techniques, professionalism and dedication of the Warrior Mind Training foundation for stress reduction and increasing mental focus.”

“I enjoyed the course. I was skeptical at first but I can see that it will work and will have positive effects if practiced regularly. I feel calmer afterwards and have been able to clear my mind out when I need to.”

PTSD, TBI & Combat Stress

“I know I am a thousand times better because I can focus my attention and calm myself. My aptitude scores for math are higher than expected, I am doing well in the TBI Cognitive Rehab, I am free of anger, and can lower my blood pressure by focusing on my balance center. I start each day, before I get busy by listening to music and switching my attention between my clarity and balance centers and the music's woods, horns, drums. I am amazed at how much more in control and capable I am. I have not had a fight at home with either my parents or my wife in the past month. Please thank the WMT team.”

 

“[This class has been] a major help to me. Just a simple technique like breathing has been a great comfort and help. I plan to continue and can see myself sharing with friends and family. Thanks.”

 

“Thank you for all your support. This training is playing a major role in the recovery process for many of us, and we thank you.”

 

“Thanks for teaching me how to find my center again. It is helping me get to sleep.”

 

“Thank you for helping me to find my focus again.”

 

“I had a hard time at first because I would get extremely dizzy [from my TBI injuries]. Well I just started balance rehab. I wanted to let you know using the balance focus technique when doing my balance exercises has helped me. Thank you so much. You don't know how much it means to me to get just a little part of my life back. It was something I took for granted. But you have honestly helped me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

 

“Thank you for everything. The tools you have given us will be and have been very helpful in our recovery.”

 

“I always laughed at the idea of people in meditation, but I guess I cannot be the one to judge what I really did not understand. I want to personally thank you for teaching all of us about Deep Listening. It is a great tool in life and a step further in getting better from my problems.”

 

“Thanks for helping me get to sleep.”

 

“This class was helpful and would be good for people with stress.”

Medical & Mental Health Professionals

“Many of our patients have expressed very positive feelings, including a sense of relief to be able to relax. Many have said that they have better control of their triggers as a result.”

LCDR, USN Clinical Psychologist

“With PTSD, it's not the fact that your life was in danger so much as...it's what [the Soldiers have seen] and can't get out of their mind -- an experience that affects everything they do emotionally, cognitively and [with] their visceral or sensory motor. [They are] stuck. In my practice I've noticed that this [Warrior Mind Training] method has helped [my patients] with trauma get ‘unstuck‘ so to speak.”

“This is a combination of meditation, focused attention, and aspects of mind control reminiscent of samurai training. The framing of these attentional strategies as 'warrior mind training' seems more likely to be of interest to young warriors dealing with racing thoughts, hypervigilance and related attentional deficits than traditional 'relaxation training.'”

Clinical Assistant Director, PhD ABPP
VAMC

 

“Thank you so much for all you do for me and my fellow servicemen and women. I have been spreading the word to friends of mine to encourage them to attend the classes. The Warrior Mind Training team has been doing an outstanding job with the [Naval Hospital] groups and ALL of our patients/students have been giving the highest compliments about you. It has been an honor and a privilege to have you come into our groups and help them in the process of healing. You probably don't hear this enough, but thank you for all you and your colleagues do for our service members.”

Law Enforcement & Emergency First Responders

“Warrior Mind Training is a great and powerful program that every service member in the Military should do. I am a Police Officer in a major city, as well as a reservist in the Air Force after 14 years in the Navy and 8 years attached to the Marines. After 14 years as a Police Officer, I was recently involved in my first shooting, but because of my experience and training from Warrior Mind Training, I was able to handle the stress and other things that come when you are involved with a shooting. I hope that someday everyone in the Military gets this training before deployment. Thank you Warrior Mind Training for helping me find myself in a new way.”
