About

Dr. David Lindemann is a Christian physician trained in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and later serving as Chief of PM&R at Eisenhower Army Medical Center until 2017.  During those seasons he became interested in the question of why some people heal from intense or traumatic events, and others become disabled or stuck - physically, emotionally, mentally, or relationally.  He was also excited to see people could heal under the right conditions.  This led to his move away from traditional clinical medicine, pharmacologic medicine, and cognitive therapies (often focused on symptom management or suppression) to his current focus on the principles and practical applications of relational bonding and accurate perception (sensory and mental), finding these equally necessary for normal growth (development), recovery from trauma and neglect (healing), and high-level achievements (performance) whether in the physical, emotional, or cognitive domains.  

In his experience, these areas of bonding and accurate perception are the function and feedback mechanisms often disrupted by shock, dissociation, and intense experiences (regardless of whether that intensity came in a physical, emotional, or mental form), and undergird why people actually get stuck in a chronically dysregulated state.  As a believer, Dr. Lindemann is always seeking to understand these issues through the lens and truth of God's revelation in the person of Christ, in the Scriptures, and in creation; and apply them in a manner suited to the occasion and appropriate to the needs of those with whom he is working.
