The article, “Alternatives to Healing Trauma in Southwest Florida,” discusses the emerging use of alternative therapies for trauma treatment, focusing on ketamine-assisted therapy provided by MY Self Wellness in Bonita Springs and A Holistic Approach in Fort Myers. Charles Patti, Chief Brand Officer of MY Self Wellness, shares his personal experience, explaining how ketamine helped him process past traumas, develop self-compassion, and improve his relationships. He highlights ketamine’s unique ability to induce neuroplasticity, allowing the brain to form new connections and release suppressed trauma. The article also mentions Dorothy Rodwell, a licensed therapist at A Holistic Approach, who specializes in alternative trauma therapies like Rapid Resolution Therapy and emphasizes the need for holistic mental health solutions.
