Deployment, PTSD, And Mental Health || Benjamin Osgood
Real stories, told by real people.
Deployment, PTSD, and mental health. A former infantryman, deployed twice to Afghanistan. Benjamin's experience first hand, the heavy cost of war. After spending time in combat zones, he began to have questions and concerns about the validity of the war. Benjamin shares some of the hardships he faced while abroad, and what it was like for him returning home.
Medically retired. Benjamin credits his wife for a big part of his recovery. He's now an author, publishing his first book Hero of Oria. Writing has been a wonderful source of comfort for Benjamin, with helping him deal with past trauma, and his PTSD. From hell and back in a hand basket, he refuses to play the victim card. A trait I'll always respect. In his own words - "we choose our own way."
We had ourselves a great conversation. And I'm happy to invite you all to the table. Medically retired, and now living with his wife whom he credits to be a big reason as to why he is where he is today (mentally and emotionally), along with their dog. He's also an author, publishing his first book Hero of Oria. Writing has been a wonderful source of comfort for Benjamin, with helping deal with past trauma, and his PTSD. From hell and back in a hand basket, he refuses to play the victim card. And that's a trait I'll always respect. In his own words - "we choose our own way."
You're gonna get it all in this one. Humor, reflections on war, writing as therapy, inspiring authors, building fictitious worlds with characters, and words, an unforgettable sunset, the presence of Alexander The Great, and his troops. Buckle up!! Ladies and Gents, I'm pleased to introduce another GIANT AMONGST US.
I thoroughly enjoyed connecting with this man. Benjamin, all the best to you and yours. Thank you once again for opening up your book, and sharing some of it with us.
Til next time
and very soon,
PEACE!!
