This conversation is incredible. As I was editing it, I got choked up and had to shed a few tears (some of grief and some that were just a release). If you or someone you know is struggling with PTSD, this episode can help you or at least provide a little hope and understanding. I would love to see this interview shared with the world and hear from those that it touches.
