I love when a guest comes and tells a story that is unlike any other story that I've heard before, and yet, emotionally, it's like every other story that I've heard before and it reminds me: even though our circumstances are so much different in our lives, what we experience inside is so so alike, and I love being reminded of that.
What happens when an ordinary day on the job turns into a life-or-death situation? In this gripping episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', host Paul Gilmartin sits down with Dan Smith, a former armored car driver who survived a shootout that nearly took his life. Smith opens up about the PTSD that ensued and dives into the complexities of masculinity in a world that often stigmatizes mental health struggles.
This isn't just a story of survival; it's a raw, honest look at the aftermath of trauma and the path to healing. Smith's narrative is a powerful reminder of the importance of seeking help and breaking the silence around mental health issues. Through their conversation, Gilmartin and Smith shed light on the shame and stigma that can accompany mental illness, and how therapy and sharing our stories can be crucial tools for recovery.
If you're looking for a podcast that offers both empathy and insight, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to hear a compelling story that underscores the strength found in vulnerability and the healing power of community.
