Message from Dr. Golzad to our patients
Inspired by Dr. Jacob L. Moreno, and my fellow countryman Rumi, I added the powerful methodology of multimodal communication, music-therapy, body language, and psychodrama in a holistic manner to the treatment protocol of TBI survivors who were also suffering from PTSD. Encouraged by the rather unexpected results, I summarized my observation as a message of hope addressed to our future patients.
Light at end of the tunnel
As I open my eyes into yours
Searching the way to your heart
Swapping my eyeballs with yours
To let the light filter in
I glance through your eyes
As you peer into mine
Noticing rays of sunshine
Breaking through the shroud
Ecstatic to see beyond the eyes
Striding off the beaten path
All the way to your heart
To listen to your soul
Reenacting sad events, we make
Monsters run in fear
Intrusions vanish
Nightmares fade away
Liberated from the veil of denials
Free of incandescent flashbacks
In your journey of self-discovery
To your moment of epiphany
Shattering the darkness of despair
Beyond frontiers hitherto unknown
Towards an infinite horizon of hope
You rediscover and set yourself free
