Background:

Michael, a 40-year-old military veteran, began experiencing symptoms of severe anxiety, flashbacks, and dissociation following multiple deployments in combat zones. His symptoms started shortly after returning home from his last tour and intensified over time.

Treatment Journey:

Michael's consultation was unique; he was willing to follow our recommendations. It didn't take long for him to see improvement in his daily life. Now, he can walk freely without fearing that someone is watching him.
