Can people with a long history of stress-related symptoms make a full recovery?

Dr. David Clarke reports that many of his patients with a history of symptoms have fully recovered.

Many of Dr. Clarke’s patients had been ill for more than 10 years. His first patient had severe attacks that put her in the hospital four times a year for 15 years. He says she was cured in a one-hour conversation.

In her case, getting the insight about where those symptoms were coming from, seeing the connection to a particular severe stress in her life and bringing that into conscious awareness was all that was necessary.

She called Dr. Clarke a year later to say that she had no symptoms for an entire year. In the previous 12 months, she had suffered six severe attacks.

Dr. Clarke says people with a long history of symptoms can make a full recovery.
