Our Veteran

Healing Process

At After the Action Healing Foundation, we believe healing should be compassionate, personalized, and never rushed. Every veteran's experiences are unique, which is why we tailor each healing journey to meet your individual needs and goals.

OUR PROCESS

Step 1: Submit Your Contact Request

Complete our secure online contact form to let us know you're interested in learning more about our services. You don't need to share every detail of your experiences—simply provide your contact information, and a member of our team will reach out to you.

Step 2: Schedule Your Confidential Telephone Consultation

A member of our team will personally contact you to answer your questions, explain our program, verify eligibility, schedule your confidential telephone consultation with one of our certified clinical hypnotherapists, as well as email you our Intake Forms for you to complete and return.

Step 3: Consultation & Personalized Healing Plan

During the consultation, we'll discuss:

- Your goals for healing and recovery

- Current challenges you're experiencing

- How clinical hypnotherapy works

- What you can expect throughout the process

- Any questions or concerns you may have

Our goal is to ensure you feel informed, comfortable, and supported before beginning your healing journey.

Your consultation is an opportunity to better understand your unique experiences, identify the challenges you'd like to address, and develop a personalized treatment plan.

Together, we'll explore:

- Your personal history and current concerns

- Emotional and physical symptoms

- Treatment goals

- Recommended focus areas

- A customized plan designed specifically for your needs

No two veterans are alike, and neither are our treatment plans.

Step 4: Your First Clinical Hypnotherapy Session

Your first session lays the foundation for your healing journey.

In addition to beginning therapeutic work, this session includes:

- Additional clinical discovery and assessment

- Identification of subconscious patterns and triggers

- Suggestibility testing to determine the techniques that will be most effective for you

- Education about the hypnosis process

- Initial therapeutic interventions tailored to your individual needs

This information allows your hypnotherapist to customize future sessions for the greatest possible effectiveness.

Step 5: Weekly Progressive Hypnotherapy Sessions

Healing is a process, not a single event.

Following your initial session, you'll participate in weekly clinical hypnotherapy sessions designed to build upon previous progress while addressing the underlying causes of stress, trauma, anxiety, sleep difficulties, and emotional challenges.

Each session is personalized and may include:

- Nervous system regulation

- Trauma-informed clinical hypnosis

- Stress reduction techniques

- Emotional processing

- Confidence and resilience building

- Sleep improvement

- Personalized reinforcement strategies

As your progress continues, your treatment plan evolves with you.

Foundation-Sponsored Care

Through the generosity of our donors and sponsors, eligible veterans accepted into our sponsorship program receive up to six (6) clinical hypnotherapy sessions at no cost.

These six sessions are designed to provide a structured, progressive healing experience that helps create lasting emotional resilience and meaningful personal growth.

If additional care is recommended beyond the sponsored sessions, your hypnotherapist will discuss available options and provide guidance based on your individual needs.
