I'm so grateful for everything Dr Jamie Rickcord has done to improve my quality of life over the past 3 years. Thank you.

The receptionist is professional at Ananda and works incognito with the Nurse. They are ultimately an extension of the Doctors holistic care to his patients. Well done Jamie 5* from me.

Not the best choice for Complex PTSD patient. I had put on the intake form "General Anxiety and Insomnia" as these were the two PTSD cluster symptoms which were most concerning at the time. Dealt with Jamie Rickord on 3 occasions. Be warned that everyone is a suspect of "just wanting to get high" and will be interrogated accordingly. If you grew up in a hostile environment as a child, beware, as this will be sure to trigger. Advice for anyone with abandonment issues is to reflect on the question "So how have you been?" before your session. Be sure to focus only on the most negative aspects of your life experience in the past 3 months. Don't feel pressured, just remember you only have 15 minutes... Just be aware however, that focusing only on the symptoms which have improved may result in you being pronounced as being "well" and told that you are "no longer in need of medicine as medicine is only for people who are sick". The words "holistic", and "progressive" spring to mind... As the old idiom goes, "mind over matter" Also, if you ever have difficulty remembering all of the low points in your experience over the last 3 months then you may also want to make notes so you can remind yourself just how much of the time you have felt unwell, and just how dysfunctional you really were on those days. Rumination anyone? Yes Dr. Rickord, sometimes people will say they have been good even though there have been a handful of days that they took off work recently because they felt overwhelmed by yet another early morning episode of acute anxiety. In this case, to say that I had been "good" overall was nothing more than a nostalgic generalisation intended to pave the way to some more deep and meaningful discussion which never eventuated, not an invitation to make thinly veiled accusations of attempting to abuse the system. My hope is that you will be inspired to educate yourself on developmental trauma so that you might develop the mindfulness to suspend your disbelief and continue to ask open-ended questions, rather than making simplistic assumptions about who is and who isn't worth trying to help.
