Season 2 EP - 3 - PTSD Isn't Just War

Episode 3 - PTSD Isn't Just War Episode Description When most people hear the term PTSD, they immediately think of combat veterans. While military service can certainly lead to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, trauma does not discriminate. In Episode 3 of The Conversation Podcast, we explore the reality that PTSD can stem from many different life experiences, including childhood trauma, abuse, domestic violence, loss of a loved one, serious accidents, medical emergencies, betrayal, and other life-altering events. We discuss the misconceptions surrounding PTSD, why trauma responses often appear irrational to those who have never experienced them, and how symptoms such as flashbacks, emotional numbness, anxiety, hypervigilance, and avoidance can impact everyday life. This conversation is about understanding, awareness, and validating the experiences of those carrying unseen wounds. Guest: Brandon Carson, Marc Petersen, Christopher Allan * PTSD is not limited to military service * Childhood trauma and adverse life experiences * PTSD resulting from abuse and domestic violence * Grief, loss, and traumatic life events * Flashbacks and intrusive memories * Emotional numbing and dissociation * Hypervigilance and living in survival mode * Why trauma responses are not irrational * Breaking the stigma around mental health * Finding support and beginning the healing journey 🌐 Website: https://therealmsofasgard.com/ [https://therealmsofasgard.com/] 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/ [https://discord.gg/] 𝕏 X: @troainc 📸 Instagram: @troainc 🎵 TikTok: @troainc https://www.pbabbate.org/ [https://www.pbabbate.org/] Open to all veterans.
