Season 1, Episode 7:


A jam packed episode including song of the week, a funny Police story of me during my Policing days, my love of swear words. Plus an explanation of PTSD and how it affects me.


Specifically, I also define what depression and anxiety look like. I explain my symptoms, nightmares, insomnia, flashbacks, hyperactivity arousal, avoidance, disassociation, anger, rage, numbness, joylessness, panic, pressure on my chest and increased alertness.


I also share examples of ridiculous things people say while on a PTSD journey.


Song of the Week:

Rainbow; Kacey Musgraves
