July 29 - RESERVED FOR VETS - Listener Questions and the Biggest Challenges Facing Veterans

  

In this episode, Mathew, Dr. Dave, and Chad (aka Mental Joe) talk about why homelessness is such an issue for veterans, the struggles of coming back into civilian life, the power of changing your environment, and the dangers of comparing your trauma to others.

 

They guys also give their advice to listener questions:

“My son won't advocate for himself and he won't let us help him much either. Any advice?”

“I never really recovered from my PTSD. What else is out there besides meds and talk therapy?”

“My problem has always been civilian life and how unstructured it is. What kinds of things can I do that have a similar structure to military life?”

 

In this episode, you'll hear: 

  • The science behind what alcohol and addiction do to our minds and bodies
  • The fine line between supporting and enabling
  • Conversations about alternative therapy options
