8.0 Why It Works: Leckey Harrison on PTSD and Trauma Healing

Do you know why being a member of Fight Club and getting called into your boss' office are not that different? Do you know why social isolation can seem like the right choice to those suffering from PTSD? Have you ever wondered why a simple request like "pass the butter" can result in an unpredictably explosive reaction from your spouse or partner?

In today's episode of "Why It Works," Leckey Harrison, Resilience Trainer and former firefighter reveals some of the hidden mechanisms behind PTSD and Trauma Healing. Join us as we explore how to stop anxiety by starving fear, the role of the body in dealing with stress, and the straw that broke the camel's back and started Leckey's own journey to address his PTSD and eventually, begin to help others.

MEET OUR GUEST:

If you're in a room and it's crowded and it's starting to get to you, get out of the room because that's honoring yourself and when it comes to living your life, if you don't do that, you're not going to live your life - someone else is.
