Changing Direction: How Veterans and Civilians Battle Back




Change You Choose show

Summary: How do warriors transition out of the military and into life after trauma with PTSD/TBI? Not easily! But there are some terrific organizations that help, support and clear the path. The transition out of trauma and into the world is also a challenge for civilians who find themselves hating more than loving themselves. When you find yourself stuck in who you are and not sure how to become who you want to be, what do you do? On this week’s show I’ll talk to two guests who have some great ideas: For our military listeners, in our first segment Ashley Lambert-Wise discusses how she came to found BattlingBare.org, plus its mission to support veterans in transition. In our second segment Roberta Mittman talks about her free telesummit, LOVE YOUR MIND, LOVE YOUR BODY, and the expert guests she’s giving you access to so that you can start to transition out of hate into love for both your mind and your body. In our first segment Ashley Lambert-Wise shared her personal story of trauma and PTSD and how those experiences motivated her to create BattlingBare.org, an organization designed to help spread the word not only about PTSD but about recovery as well. Then, in our second segment, my pal Roberta Mittman gave us the low-down on how and why acupuncture can help you heal after trauma, plus she filled us in with an overview of her LOVE YOUR MIND, LOVE YOUR BODY telesummit (it's free!) .
