PTSD: The War You Bring Home | SFC (Ret.) Baruch Baitch & Eli Goldberg, LSCW | ITVOG #43
A candid conversation on PTSD, combat, and the difficult transition back to civilian life.

The discussion also covers trauma triggers, relationships, parenting, stigma, and the value of practical support before someone reaches a breaking point.
