The 2026 Association for the Treatment of Neuroplastic Symptoms (ATNS) Conference took place in my hometown of Dallas, Texas and was filled with people truly spirited for the cause. The scene buzzed with passion and excitement about advancing the field, driven by a shared sense of urgency that people should not have to wait years—even decades—to find healing. Most well-known names and faces in the neuroplastic community were present. ATNS conferences are open to not just practitioners, researchers, and funders, but also to the public worldwide. Networking opportunities abounded for people seeking recovery from their own symptoms, start or grow their neuroplastic recovery practice, integrate neuroplastic healing into traditional healthcare, promote funding and research, and innovate programs.
