Walking From The Shadows: My Journey with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
We want to hear from you - Send us a text
What if the way back from trauma isn’t a single breakthrough, but a stack of small, stubborn habits that actually hold you up? We sit down with Navy veteran and author Kevin Macomber to trace a path from complex childhood trauma and Beirut-era deployments to breakdown, suicidality, and a hard-won recovery built on practical daily steps.
Macomber opens up about losing trust, withdrawing from the world, and slowly rebuilding with tools that require no perfection — just repetition. Journaling becomes a compass for messy minds, revealing patterns across hours and weeks. Macomber talks about the benefits of meditation and other mindfulness practices. Nature does the quiet work that clinics can’t, as a hiking trail reawakens senses dulled by hyperarousal and numbness.
