I think that means that we are slowly evolving into a place where it is okay to have wounds that you can't see.
Have you ever wondered about the hidden toll of war on mental health? In this eye-opening episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods chats with Dr. Heidi Squier Kraft, a clinical psychologist and author of 'Rule Number Two'.

Her practical advice and heartfelt stories make this episode a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the complex challenges faced by veterans and their families. This episode is perfect for those looking to gain a deeper understanding of mental health issues related to combat stress.
