Ep243: PTSD, Breaking The Cycle, and Learning to Say You're Welcome
Billy Mac is back!
Last time we talked trauma, footy, and what it's really like to carry PTSD for decades. This time we get into what happens to the people around you when you're living with it.
Warning:
There's a story early on about a baby seat he found in a car accident. It's really heavy (we don't go into details - but and can easily skip past that bit), but it stayed with Billy for 15 years before he even realised how much it had affected him. There's also a mate who medically discharged after the same call — and a really stark conversation Billy had with his son years later in a therapist's office that changed everything.
Billy's wife Kathy now facilitates spouse retreats for the Fire Brigade — something that didn't exist until Billy pushed for it. That part of the conversation is where he properly breaks. In the best way.
This one's raw, funny, and real.
Just like Billy.
