The recovery is an opportunity to be better than you ever knew you could be.
What does it take to heal after experiencing unimaginable trauma? In this compelling episode of 'This Life #YOULIVE', Dr. Drew and co-host Shelly Mann sit down with Chad Robichaux, the founder of The Mighty Oaks Foundation, to discuss his work supporting veterans and active-duty service members grappling with crises stemming from their military service. Chad opens up about his own battles with PTSD and how his faith played a crucial role in his recovery.
His foundation aims to help others find purpose and community after their service, offering tools and support to rebuild their lives. The conversation then shifts to Brian Claypool and John Anderson, who return to the show to update their harrowing experiences from the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival mass shooting in Las Vegas in 2017. Both survivors share their ongoing struggles with PTSD and the different paths they've taken towards healing.
Brian, still wrestling with severe PTSD, seeks advice from Chad on how to move forward, while John discusses how he and his wife are coping with the aftermath of witnessing such a devastating event. Throughout the episode, various approaches to healing trauma are explored, including neurobiofeedback—a technique that uses real-time brain activity displays to teach self-regulation and alleviate PTSD symptoms.
The importance of having a strong support system and maintaining accountability is emphasized by all guests, highlighting that no one should face their struggles alone. This episode is a heartfelt discussion on the power of community, faith, and innovative therapies in overcoming trauma. Whether you're a veteran, a survivor of trauma, or someone looking to support a loved one through their recovery journey, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice for navigating the path to healing.
