The intersection of mental health awareness, masculinity, manhood and the military. Let’s talk about PTSD! (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) how it affects your mental state of being and how societal views of masculinity and manhood influence our men’s willingness to not get therapy! It also made me ask, how do we cope with loved ones suffering from PTSD? We often see war movies glorifying heroism and death but what happens to the real people? The real veterans? I truly appreciate the conversation and transparency that Damian Dixon provided and I am even more moved that he is using his platform to encourage our boys and men to get the help, to communicate how they feel and to not be ashamed to cry.   ‼️ You can watch the full interview on my YOUTUBE channel (@terrikarelle) or you can listen across Apple & Google podcasts, Spotify and Audible.
