PTSD Treatment for Veterans with Mind–Body Practices

Heal trauma, calm your nervous system, and reclaim your life through evidence-informed mind–body approaches designed specifically for veterans.

Living with PTSD can feel like you’re constantly on high alert—racing thoughts, sleepless nights, irritability, or feeling disconnected from your body and the people around you. This service is designed to help veterans manage the overwhelming impact of trauma with practices that gently retrain the nervous system, ease physical tension, and restore emotional balance. Using mind–body methods rooted in both science and lived experience, you’ll learn practical tools to regulate stress, reduce symptoms, and feel safe again in your own body.

Who this service is for
- Veterans navigating post-traumatic stress, military-related trauma, or combat stress.
- Service members transitioning to civilian life and struggling with anxiety, depression, or hypervigilance.
- Individuals experiencing trauma-related symptoms like insomnia, nightmares, emotional numbness, or intrusive memories.
- Veterans dealing with chronic pain, muscle tension, or digestive issues linked to stress and PTSD.

Who will benefit

- Experience flashbacks, panic attacks, or difficulty feeling safe in daily life.
- Struggle with sleep disturbances, insomnia, or early-morning wakeups.
- Feel irritable, emotionally dysregulated, or quick to anger.
- Notice physical symptoms of trauma—tight jaw, clenched muscles, racing heartbeat, shortness of breath.
- Want to rebuild self-worth, emotional resilience, and the ability to fully engage in relationships and daily routines.

Benefits of this service
- Improved sleep quality and fewer nighttime disturbances.

What to expect
Sessions combine talk-based support with practical, body-centered tools to address both the mind and nervous system. You may learn:
- Grounding and breathwork practices to reduce panic or flashbacks.
- Gentle, adaptive movement or yoga therapy to release stored tension.
- Somatic and mindfulness-based approaches to reconnect with your body and feel safe.
- Coaching strategies to navigate daily stressors and build forward momentum.
