Frequently asked questions
Do you work with military and emergency services?+
Yes — James served, and adapts the approach to military and first-responder culture.
I've tried therapy before and it didn't work — why would this be different?+
Many clients say talking alone didn't shift it. EMDR and clinical hypnosis work somewhere talking can't reach.
Can PTSD be fully resolved?+
Often yes — especially single-event PTSD. Complex PTSD takes longer but is highly treatable.
