They think, that's not my field, after decades of research doing it slightly differently, it can make it worse, which you don't want to do, but they've now found a path to rewire the brain and restore people.

People can now go on an airplane safely if you go get a therapist.

It costs some money to work with a therapist, but you can change your brain back.

And if you don't do it right, you'll have that fear for the rest of your life.

That'll be part of your personality.

Now we learn you can make that change.

For people with post-traumatic stress disorder, a similar therapy, cognitive processing therapy or prolonged exposure therapy, will cure about 40% of people.

That's fantastic.

Sexual assault, a war, go get therapy.

You got a good chance of being cured and never having this problem again.

That's fantastic.

That didn't used to be the case.

It used to be 20%.

They made some changes and bumped it up to 40%.

For military, it's about 20% chance.

It's a little bit worse.

It works less well in military populations for a reason we don't really understand yet.

But the idea that a cure is possible, that's amazing.

If we could have a cure, that's what people want.

They want cures.
