Dr. Rahul Chandhok

My 16-year-old daughter, a competitive archer, developed performance anxiety so severe she'd physically shake during tournaments. Dr. Chandhok created a unique biofeedback protocol using her actual bow sensors to measure tension, teaching her to regulate anxiety through breathing techniques synchronized with her draw cycle. She just won the national championships.

After surviving a factory explosion that left me with facial burns and PTSD, I developed selective mutism. Dr. Chandhok introduced me to clay sculpting therapy, where I could recreate the accident scene repeatedly until the trauma lost its power. I spoke my first words in 8 months during our 12th session while molding a peaceful garden sculpture.

Our 8-year-old son began having nocturnal seizures that neurological tests couldn't explain. Dr. Chandhok identified them as psychogenic non-epileptic seizures triggered by subconscious anxiety about our recent move. Through family therapy and sandplay therapy, he taught our son to express relocation fears, eliminating the episodes completely within 6 weeks.

As a 45-year-old marine biologist, I developed crippling thalassophobia (fear of deep water) after a research submarine malfunction. Dr. Chandhok used virtual reality graded exposure starting with aquarium scenes, progressing to open ocean simulations, while incorporating my professional knowledge about marine ecosystems as cognitive anchors. I've returned to offshore research.

As a 72-year-old retired linguistics professor who developed severe OCD rituals around organizing my rare book collection, Dr. Chandhok used bibliotherapy combined with exposure therapy, having me gradually rearrange books out of alphabetical order while discussing literary themes. After 4 months, I can now lend books to friends without panic attacks.
