A Warrior's Garden
The A Warrior’s Garden Podcast is about inspiring those who have been exposed to trauma to alternative options to therapy, self-therapy, and a healing or therapeutic journey. The largest and easiest pitfall that veterans, first responders, and others with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) fall into is becoming sedentary. Healing does not start while you are sitting on the couch waiting for things to get better. It does not start filling yourself with negative coping mechanisms such as alcohol, excessive sleep, isolation, and vegetating on your couch watching a streaming service. While they are ok distractions they do not instigate or start the mind and body on a path to healing. With A Warrior’s Garden I simply mapped out all the different things I have tried for myself and areas I felt were lacking. We have three areas that we need to look at when creating our positive and healthy coping mechanism. Spiritual, Creative/mental, and Physical. Once we designate something for each one it becomes easier to start finding reasons to get off the couch and start moving in a positive and forward direction. It is 100% about getting up. Getting Active. Getting connected. While I’m not a personal fan of joining service organizations such as the American Legion, the VFW, AMVETS, or any other one, I understand the benefit of having a place for connection and service. It is important to maintain that connection to our purpose as a group of people who serve, and protect. So while I’m not a member I will never tell anyone not to join if it gets them out of their house and their own head long enough to see that there still is light, love, and connection in the world around them. So join me for the ride of a life time and let us start a motivated and disciplined journey of healing and growth. Let us turn “PTSD” into “PTSG” and erase the stigma!

A Warrior’s Garden Ep: 005 – Emotional Regulation
Emotional Regulation. This is an area where those with PTSD struggle a lot. Dealing with how to turn on, off, and exhibit our emotions properly is a large area of growth needed. The introduction of Trauma, and Traumatic injuries to the brain can cause the loss of the ability to regulate and or exhibit our emotions properly. For a lot of us we were never taught this skill set from the beginning. Now we have to not only learn it but put into practice when after the Trauma has occurred so there is no reference of how to get there from prior to our event. But none the less it’s an area we need to work on so our growth can continue to move in a positive direction.
