Default Re: PTSD from near death experience

I can't really comment on the specific of your case, but in general, a near death experience would tend to qualify for targeting. Any experience that has disturbance on it now and for which problematic outcomes or lessons resulted would be a good target. If there is high disturbance but nothing happens it is more about defenses, typically, than about a bad target selection. if there is high disturbance there would usually be a shift unless defenses interfere. As long that is as the target is properly worked up by the therapist and the therapy is properly conducted.
