Next Episode: #93 Defending The Claim That PTSD Is An Injury That Can Heal, Not An Illness (ft. Dr. Diego Hernandez)

Ed Maerkl is a Florida firefighter, former Veteran and degreed counselor who joins us this week to talk about one of the many faces of PTSD: firefighters and first responders, and how their trauma is often bigger and more unexpected than what the public thinks. In light of a recent death of a friend on the force due to cancer caused by chemicals released in a burning building, Ed gives us a glimpse of how great the sacrifices are of these heroes.
