Therapy looks different for everyone, especially for individual veterans. For some, PTSD treatment means therapy offices, fluorescent lighting, medication they don’t entirely trust, and long waiting lists at the VA (if the VA is even available).
But one program, run by the grandson of one of U.S. military history’s most famous leaders, takes a completely different approach. And science says it’s working.
