Guards Down - Overcoming Complicated Grief and PTSD through Culturally Sensitive Therapy Hosted by Greg Washington

by Greg Washington

Complicated grief and PTSD are not something that only veterans deal with when coming home from war. Anyone who has been through or witnessed a traumatic experience can have PTSD or complex grief. But what we do need are veterans who have dealt with PTSD and complicated grief and have found ways to cope and get through. This podcast is devoted to helping people who need support, encouragement, and advice. PTSD and complicated grief now have a voice of healing. Listen to these veterans and experts as we breakdown the treatment options, theories, tools, and techniques that help people get unstuck, overcome suicidal or negative thoughts. Listen and know that your not alone.
