Words of Encouragement from General (Ret.) John DeChastelain

We are honored to share a letter we received from General (Ret’d) John de Chastelain CC, CMM, CD, CH.In his letter, General DeChastelain speaks of his familiarity with the use of biofeedback for peak performance as well as its uses in the treatment of trauma and PTSD.

General DeChastelain’s resumé includes his tenure as former Canadian Ambassador to the United States, Chief of the Defence Staff (Canadian Army), and the chairman of the commission tasked with decommissioning the weapons of paramilitary groups in Northern Ireland.

Due to a scheduling conflict, General DeChastelain was not able to accept our offer to attend the meeting but has sent a letter of encouragement for our work promoting the use of biofeedback for PTSD and trauma.

Health professionals, sports psychologists and coaches are invited to learn more about this topic by attending one of these workshops at the BFE 20th Meeting in Cardiff, Wales.
