Jocko,

God bless you brother. We all need to hear this kind of stuff. I was in the Navy myself, I wasn’t in combat but I deal with personal PTSD from life circumstances. This kind of stuff puts things into perspective!

Thanks brother

A lot of this resonates. I retired in 2011 and I was certain I would not have any issues. When that pinpoint mission focus started to get wider and wider it was like a window of opportunity for all the bad sh*t to start showing itself. No matter how hard I tried to focus away from it, I just couldn’t. So I was totally unprepared. The childhood thing floored me. When that started creeping in I couldn’t understand it. I’m glad she mentioned that specifically because it definitely added an extra layer of WTF.

My Brother, and some other kickass combat vets helped me survive, and live with, my non combat PTSD. Combat Vets first, always. Thank you for your work Sir.

I’m 59, and wasn’t in the military although I tried to volunteer. You men & women in the military are my heroes period! Thank you all for your service and sacrifice.
I was severely electrocuted 3 years ago and was told I have PTSD along with TBI and many other physical injuries. I’m a very bitter and angry man because this was not by accident, it was by the negligence of another person. I still have terrible nightmares and flashbacks and I’m afraid of everything now. I’m ashamed, as before the event I was a very confident strong both physically and emotionally man, very constitutionally tough, meaning I could work through serious or emergent situations with cool calm thinking and action probably better than than a non trained person could. But now I am embarrassed to say that that part of my Brain is broken now too. I have exhausted all of my resources that my doctors, insurance and personal finances can offer. Do you have any other suggestions?
I’ve swallowed my pistol Barrel more than a few time, but I don’t even have the guts to squeeze the trigger.

I can't imagine any graver form of PTSD than war PTSD. Keep it up dude!

[andyd]

We all handle it a bit differently it seems. I guess it depends on where the trauma hits. I was wounded in Iraq and to be honest, it was terrifying, but nothing near watching innocent people fade out to the other side. Especially kids. That still burns a bit. It's not about what I went through, it's about what I've seen in the last moments of others.

While in Mexico please consider getting treated by Dr. Jose Palomar. He is an orthopedic surgeon who developed a powerful technique called Proprioceptive Deep Tendon Reflex . This technique addresses the mechanical, chemical and emotional stresses. By the way i live in Italy and it was funny when you mentioned Coo Coos. I graduated from SIUC in 94 BACK IN DA DAY!!

I want any & every veteran here to know this: my c-ptsd (not combat related) morphed into severe panic attacks & eventually psychosis. I was strung out on prescription medication for over a decade. It was a huge mess. Psychosis was terrifying & it felt permanent. I made it thru that shit & am more at peace than a real life Buddha now & if my stupid ass made it out alive, SO WILL YOURS. It’s just one gigantic exercise in patience. U are loved & u got this🎉 PS- that spaghetti arms fighting is my recurrent nightmare😂HATE IT!!! but, I have baby arms irl so I ain’t injuring shit.

That's where mushrooms and more natural psychodelics are important to deal with this kind of trama as it give your brain what it needs to be able to face those losses when they persons psychological defenses can be so strong they can not deal with it any other way.

I have those crazy gun dreams all the time. Scary AF

[chilloften]

I hope he didn’t feel invalidated at the end…when Jocko said we all have those dreams.

[anaMoc]

Reoccurring squirrel hunting dream ..weapon stuck on safe. Lol

[ec]

I came here .. Hoping to watch this from the outside. Not thinking it could make me confront anything...

[jsmithsemper]

What is this treatment they are referring to please ? Imogain ?

[rickieowens]

Let's talk flashbacks next, 😂, I got some good ones...hiding under a truck in front of the cycle shop yelling about a guy in a tunnel with a radio...

[hirumbiffidum]

How do recover from being denied being allowed to enlist in the military; even if you never got over it after over 20 years ?

[VikCalo]

I wonder if any of these soldiers think about the people who don’t get to leave the war zones. We have to rebuild or migrate only to get treated like crap. The irony.

[copown]

Just cant go back to normal, always expecting violance

This video started without the viewers knowing they are talking about psychedelics. Just fyi but very interesting. 🇺🇸✌🏽
