There's this idea that you have to be a certain way to do it (meditation) right. But that's not the case at all. It's just about being present.
What happens when a soldier returns home but the battle continues within? In this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', Paul Gilmartin sits down with Iraq war veteran Tom Voss to discuss his harrowing journey through PTSD and moral injury. Tom, an author and advocate, opens up about the intense struggles he faced after coming back from the battlefield. He shares how meditation became a lifeline, helping him navigate the turbulent waters of his mental health challenges.
Tom's story is not just about his own healing but also sheds light on the broader issues affecting many veterans, including the alarming rates of suicide and the critical need for mental health support. The conversation delves into the heavy toll that war takes on mental well-being and explores how human connection and kindness can play pivotal roles in recovery. Voss also touches on dealing with toxic family dynamics and how writing has served as a therapeutic outlet for him.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the profound impact of war on mental health and the transformative power of meditation and self-expression.
