Meditation and PTSD

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

Our current crisis may have an effect on our mental health long after it is over. Meditation can help with that, like it did for Luke, a veteran who suffered from severe PTSD when he returned from Afghanistan, but got a second chance at life when he found meditation. Bob also shares ways that people can help support their family members who may be suffering through trauma, and resources that can help everyone find inner peace.
