PTSD: Military Trauma And Natural Healing

PTSD has almost always been associated with military trauma. Only recently has it began to become recognized as a mental illness in the civilian population as well. PTSD Statistics show that up to 8% of the population is suffering from its crippling effects at any given time. But, suffering from PTSD doesn't mean that you can't use your talents and experience to change the world in which you live or the world around you. My first guest today is combat veteran Scott Lee. Scott joins me to discuss how, even as he continues his journey to heal, he is actively helping other veterans find their joy and passion through the arts. As the Project Director of MilitaryExperience.org, he encourages and provides a means for the culimination of “Military Experience and the Arts” which encourages creative, cathartic expression by military veterans as well as peer-reviewed scholarship about veterans issues. My second guest on today's show is a also a combat veteran who found himself physical and emotional on the verge of breaking. Unlike so many battles before him, this one was different. He was fighting the physical and emotional battles of PTSD without the assistance or direction that he so needed. Determined not to lose the war, Chris Crawford decided to change how he approached life as a whole; he found healing through natural means. Today, Chris will share the secrets and successes that anyone can realize if they commit themselves to changing direction.
