    27. Wounded Heroes Documentary - a profound and personal film about navigating life with PTS (ptsd)

    Many in the Veteran, active-duty military, police officer, firefighter, and other first responder communities struggle with Post-Traumatic Stress. The usual treatment is a 15-minute consultation and a handful of prescriptions, but that’s not working! The suicide rate is extremely high, and for many the PTS drugs seem to do more harm than good. Our heroes deserve better and so director/producer Michael Gier went on a mission and found successful treatments and programs that help anyone battling PTS get their lives back. Wounded Heroes is an award-winning documentary. Click this link to watch the trailer, www.WoundedHeroesDocumentary.com Michael Gier (guy-er) made a living as an entertainer for most of his life. In 2009 he started Gier Productions, LLC a full-service global production company.

    25. Demons on the Playground: how PTSI can drive mentally strong people to suicide

    You can call Mike Lewis a lot of things - a husband, a father, a firefighter/paramedic. But, what you can’t call him is disloyal or a coward. Join me in this first of a two-episode podcast as I learn from Mike about his experiences with PTSI and why his is front in line to help those who are still suffering alone. @mikelew22

    24. Physically In Mentally Out: How one man uses his religious trauma to set the record straight.

    What is it like to suffer Religious Trauma Syndrome while still inside a High Demand Religious Group? What causes Religious Trauma Syndrome and what are the risks that come with continuing participation? A Voice From Inside presents the rare voice of a critical insider of the Watch Tower Society, offering an account of the experience, how people are struggling, and what can be done to survive and move forward. Writing under a pseudonym, Geoffrey Wallis courageously explains what has led many to label the Jehovah’s Witnesses as a Captive Organization and how the community’s policies like lead to the phenomenon of Physically-In-Mentally-Out (PIMO).  Written to help bring change to the Jehovah’s Witness community as a whole, but also for anyone struggling with religious trauma, A Voice from Inside is both a witness to the experience of living in a closed religious group as well as a clarion call for change and healing in a world that sorely needs it.

    23. US Diplomat returns home to focus on America

    US Diplomat, Barbara Thomas spent 20 years serving overseas in Latin America and Europe, as well as several posts in Washington DC. She made the decision to retire last year because she felt there was a lot of work to be done back home in the U.S. She was particularly  concerned about the bitter divisiveness and increasingly toxic political discourse. She came home because she wanted to find a way to be part of turning that tide.   Barbara talks with Dr. Hood about that journey, the work she’s doing now to combat polarization, and how we can help.
