From PTSD “Tiger” to Kitten 🐯➡️🐱
22 Years of Trauma. Weeks of Change.

Matt is a 54-year-old firefighter from Indianapolis.
A small business owner.
A husband.
A dad to twin girls.
And a recovering alcoholic.

For 22 years, he lived with untreated trauma and PTSD that would “wreck” him for days at a time.

On the outside? High-functioning.
On the inside? Hiding in the garage or shower to cry.
Using eye drops so no one would know.

He tried talk therapy.
He tried medications.
He tried willpower.

Some helped… but none lasted.

In this conversation, Matt shares what changed with IV ketamine at AlphaOmega Wellness:

• His PTSD score dropped from 60 to 6
• He felt 30% better after just one infusion
• He’s kept 8 years of sobriety with zero urge to drink
• His “PTSD tiger” became a declawed kitten he controls instead of it controlling him

This isn’t about being weak.
It’s about being stuck in survival mode for too long.

If you’re high-functioning on the outside…
but exhausted, anxious, or numb on the inside…
this story is for you.

You don’t have to white-knuckle your way through life.

Why Motivation Didn’t Cure My Depression

12/24/2025

If you feel like you still show up and perform – for work and family – but inside you

Depression was such a challenge for me most of my adult life.

Like, it was bad.

Yet, most people didn't know it. They thought I was just the same, happy-go-lucky person that I represented myself to be.

Inside, empty. So tired but my brain was still wired. I lost the joy in my life. I was trying to manage the gray.

When I drove 90 minutes from home in 2020 for my first IV ketamine treatment I had no idea that that would lead to my REMISSION from depression (I now don't take any meds, don't struggle with my mood).

What I've learned in countless hours of training since then is that we aren't depressed or anxious because we don't have enough serotonin.

It's because chronic stress has damaged nerve pathways in our brain. Fix these connections, actually get the brain healthy, and these symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD go away.

In the comments I've got a link to a YouTube video where I explain:

- Why your brain gets stuck in fight or flight

- Why it is not your fault

- How life (work AND home) can feel lighter in less than a month when the brain gets healthy.

Has there been a time that you've quietly suffered? What pulled you out of it?

Listen…we aren’t going to hit you in the head with the Bible. We just don’t hide our beliefs…

You’ll find compassion, not judgment. Hope, not pressure. You’ll never get a sermon from us.

We are the first to say we are sinners living in grace.
Everyone is welcome here 💚
