The brain processes a broken arm and PTSD the same way.
How do you move forward after witnessing one of the most harrowing events in recent history? In this episode of M2 THE ROCK, Michael Molthan chats with Samantha Horwitz, a former Secret Service agent and 9/11 first responder, about her journey through trauma and her battle with PTSD. With a rich background in criminology and law enforcement, Sam has become an expert in handling stress and managing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
She opens up about the challenges she faced and the strategies she's developed to combat the effects of trauma. Sam’s experience on 9/11 left her with deep emotional scars, but it also fueled her mission to help others. She discusses how the brain processes trauma similarly to physical injuries, creating new neural pathways that can lead to anxiety and depression.
But there's hope—Sam emphasizes that just as the brain adapts to trauma, it can be retrained through therapy and other techniques to overcome these challenges. Throughout the conversation, Sam highlights the importance of finding purpose and meaning in life as a key component of healing. She passionately advocates for therapy and support systems, stressing that those suffering from PTSD are not alone.
Her insights offer a unique perspective on how to navigate life after trauma, providing listeners with practical advice and inspiration. If you're dealing with PTSD or know someone who is, this episode is a must-listen. Sam's story is a testament to resilience and the power of support in overcoming life's toughest battles.
