Do you want a supremely anxious, combative, PTSD dental patient? One who needs to be out under for any procedure because they trigger my fight or flight, which is always fight? If you do, I'm your huckleberry. 😁

Informed dentistry with PTSD patients would be an amazing independent study if you need any more credits ❤️

My brother had a near death experience with a hard candy as a child and never got over his fight or flight. He could not tolerate even a wooden depressor in his mouth as an adult. How he made it 3 years as a US marine still amazes me.

Sounds like you need some hypnotherapy.

I've been in therapy for years. Hypnotherapy is a hard no because I wouldn't trust anyone in that situation.
