Today on Wellbeing, we talk with Steve Ball about his journey with Complex PTSD. Having had Complex PTSD since nineteen, Steve has gone through a long journey with PTSD.  Steve has found success in his recovery by undertaking innovative Psychedelic Therapies.  Today Steve is a part of Mind Medicine Australia's lived experience board.   

In this episode, Steve talks about his journey with PTSD, how PTSD affected his emotional state and his daily life, how the European approach to PTSD recovery is different to Australia's approach, how friends and family can help those going through PTSD, and his experience with psychedelic therapy.     

“I was very dissociated, that's the principle symptom of PTSD, all through my childhood, just a complete fog, so you know that had been there for years but it was when I was nineteen that I had a really crippling depression and it was quite a problem in terms of getting in the way of living my life." - Steve Ball on this episode of Wellbeing
