Prof. MD. Osman Yildirim Reviews

As a 72-year-old retired history professor with severe insomnia and anxiety following my wife's passing, I was skeptical about therapy. Dr. Yildirim didn't just prescribe medication, he created a 'memory integration protocol' where we systematically processed my 50 years of marriage through guided historical narrative therapy. He had me bring photo albums to sessions, and we structured our grief work like archiving a historical period. After 8 weeks, I'm sleeping naturally and have begun writing my memoirs. His approach was academically rigorous yet profoundly human, something I've never encountered in 40 years of occasional therapy.

Our 9-year-old daughter developed severe school refusal and selective mutism after changing schools. We'd seen three specialists with no progress. Dr. Yildirim's child psychology unit at Liv Hospital uses immersive play therapy with VR integration. He didn't just talk to her, he entered her world. During our third session, he noticed her doodling intricate underground tunnel systems and said, 'Ah, you're building safe passages.' He then designed a treatment where she 'constructed' emotional safe passages using both physical models and VR environments. Within a month, she was speaking at school again. He treated her like a fellow architect of her own mind.

I was referred to Dr. Yildirim after surviving a high-rise construction site fall that left me with acute PTSD. This wasn't routine psychology, this was emergency neuropsychological intervention. He met me in the hospital at midnight after my surgery, implementing what he called 'trauma containment protocols' before the memories could consolidate. Using bilateral stimulation combined with somatic tracking, he helped me process the event while still in recovery. Most remarkable was his 'vertical reintegration' work, gradually reintroducing height exposure through controlled virtual reality simulations of construction environments. I'm back supervising sites today because he intercepted the trauma at its origin point.

As a professional chess player experiencing performance deterioration and psychosomatic tremors during tournaments, I needed specialized cognitive psychology. Dr. Yildirim, who apparently studies the neuroscience of expertise, designed a 'cognitive load redistribution' protocol. He analyzed my tournament games not for strategy but for decision-making patterns under stress, then created parallel processing exercises to offload automatic moves from conscious thought. He even collaborated with a neurologist to monitor my brain activity during simulation games. The treatment felt like upgrading my mental hardware. My rating has improved 150 points, and the tremors have completely disappeared during critical endgames.
