A Breakthrough Study in Veteran Mental Health
For many veterans, trauma doesn’t end when the mission does. It lingers – in disrupted sleep, heightened anxiety, strained relationships, and a persistent struggle to reconnect. But what if there was a way to rewire those responses at the brain level?
That’s the question Vitanya Brain Performance and the One Tribe Foundation set out to explore in a powerful pilot study focused on attachment, trauma, and the brain’s capacity to heal.
In this six-month intervention, a small cohort of veterans participated in a neuroscience-guided program combining neurofeedback, neuro-nutritional support, and biofeedback. Their progress was measured across multiple dimensions: PTS, anxiety, depression, suicidality, resilience, relationship satisfaction, and attachment style.
The results? Remarkable:
- 64% reduction in PTSD symptoms
- 67% decrease in generalized anxiety
- 33% drop in depressive symptoms
- 11% increase in resilience
- 13% boost in relationship satisfaction
- 36% decrease in attachment avoidance, a key marker in restoring emotional connection
More than just symptom relief, participants shifted from fearful or dismissive attachment styles toward secure attachment — a foundational change in how they relate to others and themselves.
This study represents more than numbers — it signals a new frontier in trauma recovery: neuroscience-informed approaches that target the brain’s capacity to adapt, regulate, and reconnect.
