This milestone 550th episode of PTSD and Beyond features a meaningful conversation between Dr. Deb and basketball coach and mentor Jerel Seamon, marking ten years since they first met.

This episode centers the power of vulnerability, lived experience, and storytelling. Jerel reflects on how sharing his story, giving himself grace, and staying connected to purpose have shaped his life and leadership. Together, the conversation explores how openness and honesty create connection, hope, and the ability to support others in meaningful ways.

Basketball has been a consistent source of hope in Jerel’s life. The episode includes a shout out to Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves, highlighting how the game continues to represent resilience, belief, and possibility.

Rather than focusing on performance or perfection, this conversation reflects on what it means to live with intention, to honor lived experience, and to use what we have been through to help others move forward.

• Vulnerability as strength

This episode reflects the heart of PTSD and Beyond where lived experience is honored, stories matter, and healing and growth are possible through connection.
