135. Let’s Get Real: Mental Health, Trauma, Coping Strategies & Dealing With the Tough Parts of Military Life with Drs. Dustin & Kerry Brockberg

Military life can be tough, both for military members and for military spouses. And sometimes the experiences we go through can have an adverse affect on our mental and emotional health.

In this week’s episode, we are digging into the tough parts of military life and addressing mental health. I sit down with Drs. Dustin and Kerry Brockberg, psychologists and the authors of a new book, entitled Ending Your Covert Mission: A Veteran’s Guide to Fighting Pain and Addiction.

We discuss trauma, PTSD, coping strategies, pain, and how to move forward in a healthy way.

My hope is that this conversation is yet another reminder that no one has to stay stuck or suffer in silence. It is possible to find relief and experience recovery.

Better Together,

Christine
