Episode 7: Healing Mind, Body & Soul: A Veteran’s Battle with Suicide

• In this last episode of season 1, Rob Vessels takes us deep into the internal struggle that he faced as an American soldier re-entering society. Like many veterans, he was left with post traumatic stress and wildly conflicted feelings about his country, his actions, and his sense of belonging. Listeners will be captivated by the steps he took to humanize a race that he was conditioned to de-humanize, and his remarkable journey to heal.
