The (Complex) PTSD Guy

Review of the movie I, Tonya. I chose this movie based on the abuse Tonya Harding endured, according to this film. I believe this is a good example of what a childhood of someone who has Complex PTSD can look like, of course trauma comes in many forms.

The Punisher, a brief chat and where you can watch the series for the next seven days until will no longer be available. Next podcasts on the I, Tonya movie and character of Saffy from Absolutely Fabulous.

Mention English comedian Tom Ward and the talk about the Sad Clown paradox. Also talk about other famous comedians who have dealt with emotional/mental pain. Favorite comedy shows that lighten my mood.

Final review for American Sniper. More details about The Punisher and real details related to the characters and making of this movie. Next podcast will be about British comedian Tom Ward who focuses on his own Complex PTSD.

Second review for American Sniper. Chris meets his nemesis and his trauma is showing up in his home life.

My review of American Sniper, part 1

Final review for Manchester by the Sea. Critique on characters who were dropped from storyline, and wish the ending had more of a solution for the character with past trauma.

Further review of Manchester by the Sea. Opening up when you have PTSD can take time but we see it finally happen. There will be one more review, after this one, for this film.

Review of Manchester by the Sea and I reference a few comedies related to PTSD because we need to laugh at ourselves sometimes. I also discuss a comedian I came across, Tom Ward, who focuses on Complex PTSD.

WOW, the ending of this movie was shocking and did not disappoint! Final review of Mystic River. Well written movie.

Part 2 review of Mystic River. Movie about a character with PTSD. Very impressive movie!

Give some details about what my next few episodes will be about. I'll be reviewing movies, TV shows, books that relate to PTSD or trauma.

Recently mentioned to someone that I wonder sometimes if maybe I have traumatic brain injury from an extreme car crash years ago. She recommended trying to see a neuropsychologist and I explain here what that is and how they treat you/what they test for.

Episode about ways to cope with irritability and anger. Found a hilarious YouTube channel where a woman and her husband, Jen and Jay, talk about some of great shows and movies, it's called Real Housewives Recaps. It's hilarious 😅

Interview with author Heather Carter about her book on transformation and hope and healing: Soul-Selfie.

My review of The Catcher in the Rye. I haven't read this since high school but in my opinion, and others agree, this is a book about a youth with PTSD. I've always loved this book and appreciate it even more after reading it as an adult.

Great show that has brought me personal joy and relief: Emily in Paris! Good to take a break from self-analysis and just relax. Relate to the French culture and it inspires me.

Two great articles on self-destruction, laziness, isolation and self-criticism and Remedies for these things, and how to acquire more energy for your daily life. Also loneliness and a remedy for that.

Equine (Horse) Therapy. More info on the benefits of working with horses for trauma, stress, anxiety, isolation, all based on a local place that has trained mental health and professional psychotherapy staff. I read from their website how this works. Enjoy!

Equine therapy, working with horses for PTSD, anxiety and depression, etc. My family history in England, current issues and how I found something really relatable to my current life situation in Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix, Lol, might sound silly but it's true.

This is a 10 minute meditation visualization that I have used for a couple years. I created this one and find it simple and effective. I became certified in meditation a few years ago.

How my resolution from last year is still successful today, what I did different and a new show I find relatable with characters who have been through trauma, it's entertaining too, called Yellowstone.

Met a local author who wrote an inspiring book called Soul-Selfie. You might find it inspiring and relatable too. Relates to topics I've discussed before.
