What if PTSD was actually a physical injury to your brain?

That line hit hard—and it’s the truth.

🧠 In This Episode:

In this episode of Tell This Story, host Doug White sits down with Lena Grunloh, DMS, PA-C, to explore how eTMS therapy (Electromagnetic Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) and EEG brainwave feedback are revolutionizing mental health care for veterans and first responders.

Thanks to legislation passed by Representative Danny Alvarez, eTMS is now FREE, non-intrusive, anonymous, and available to all veterans and first responders in Florida.

If you or someone you love is struggling with PTSD, anxiety, sleep issues, or burnout—this episode could change everything.
