Hostage negotiators gain insight from Praevius
November 2009Crisis negotiators are an elite group of individuals with a vast amount of experience, skills, and knowledge. Conflict resolution is critical in the types of events that tend to require the use of tactical negotiation teams. Keeping current with necessary skills for these situations is paramount, so Texas Association of Hostage Negotiators asked the Praevius Group founder, author, and decorated war hero Nate Self to present a leadership seminar to the group in Lewisville, Texas.
“Like many of you in this room,” said Nate said, “my Special Operations team of the U.S. Army was dispatched to crisis intervention”.
Speaking to more than 300 law enforcement, mental health, criminal justice, and corrections professionals, Nate gave an insightful and inspiring account of leadership and team building that stemmed from his own extreme situation—leading a team to rescue a Navy SEAL who had fallen into the hands of al-Qaeda fighters on a high snow-covered mountain top in Afghanistan.
His story was featured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal, on NBC’s Dateline, and in his personal account titled Two Wars: One Hero’s Fight on Two Fronts—Abroad and Within. Like Nate, many crisis negotiators will face two wars—the physical battles they face on the job and the mental battles they face in the aftermath—some even develop PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).
Combined with the release of his book Two Wars, Self is using his platform as one of the most decorated war heroes to come out of the Iraq/Afghanistan War to guide others to lead better by sharing their own stories and fight the battle of PTSD that may arise after the intervention.

Event Serves to fight against the darkness of combat trauma and PTSD
As part of the Praevius Group corporate citizenship efforts, founder, author and combat-decorated war hero, Nate Self spoke to over 400 American patriots at the “Heal Our Heroes” event hosted by Military Ministries in Houston, Texas.
For thousands of veterans and their families, despair has become an unwelcome, but constant companion. “Our military members fight two wars – one on the battlefield…and one in their souls after they return home”, said Praevius founder Nate Self.
Having survived the worst stages of PTSD, Nate Self has now committed himself to helping a new generation of war vets, both by sharing his own story, and by collecting theirs. Nate gave a moving glimpse into his experience as an Army Ranger who led a group of soldiers to rescue a downed Navy Seal in the battle of Takur Ghar located high on a mountain top in Afghanistan. His story was featured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal, on NBC’s Dateline, and written in his personal account titled Two Wars: One Hero’s Fight on Two Fronts—Abroad and Within.
Nate was followed by Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North–combat-decorated Marine, best-selling author, and TV host of War Stories on the Fox News Channel. Both shared powerful stories from the front, as well as their personal struggles with combat trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Both leaders inspired and challenged the audience to become a part of a national solution to redeem generations of veterans, troops and families from the tragedies caused by combat trauma and PTSD.
Combined with the release of his book “Two Wars” and partnering with organizations like Military Ministries (www.militaryministry.org), Nate Self is using his platform as one of the most decorated war heroes to come out of the Iraq/Afghanistan War to help fellow vets get teh help they need.
