Lynn Himmelmann replies that of the 2,000 clients she has treated with the NDT, all had approached her for help with past trauma and were in that sense self-selected. All these clients had issues arising from traumatic past events. Also, many people would either have these stress-related and trauma-related issues but not seek help or turn to other healing approaches or religion for help. Thus, the NDT helps to delete causes of stress, negative emotions, and even PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder).

Childhood developmental stages and rites of passage in adult life stages do not affect the basic principles of these therapies. For example, even babies can be correctly swaddled to calm them and calm their breathing.
