The Smokin' PTSD podcast

In this episode we discuss Psychologist Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and how those 5 stages effect, either positively or negatively, our mental health. 

Today we discuss fear and negative feelings and some not so healthy processes that we do to make them go away. Chris also discusses his first three session of TMS and how uncomfortable it really is!

In this episode we delve into what trauma is and how using the DBT workbook can help us overcome the effects of repeated trauma that result in PTSD and C-PTSD. 

In this episode I discuss resilience, its definition, its usefulness, and why it's important to develop and strengthen yours. 

In this episode we delve into some emotions that routinely appear along with my depression and how a simple, yet out-of-uniform, approach to my mental wellbeing ended up being the first step on my path to enlightenment. 

After nearly a year hiatus, Chris returns with another episode of the podcast. Here Chris discusses his absence, the power of imposter syndrome, and some new depression "cure" he's trying out. 

This introductory podcast offers a glimpse into the mind of the host who explores his depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Each episode will range in depth and length and will conclude with a recipe or process for smoking food; something I have found to be cathartic and assist with my treatment. 

In this episode Chris discusses his childhood and his step-father. 

Remembering the tragic events of September 11, 2001 and my role in the rescue and recovery.
