Podcasts about invisible wounds

— Today Alexis Faere, author of Invisible Wounds, explore how honest storytelling and human connection open a path from trauma toward wholeness — the slow, tender work of moving from victim to survivor to an integrated whole person. Alexis offers practical insight on emotional responsibility, the long-term effects of violence, and the small practices that help people rebuild trust in themselves and others. This conversation centers on hope and resilience: how survivors and supporters can find language to heal, how professionals and treatment programs can use personal testimony to foster change, and how accountability matters for preventing future harm. Alexis's lived experience and years of speaking with therapeutic organizations, treatment programs, and incarcerated individuals bring clarity and compassion to difficult questions. If you're coping with past hurt, supporting someone who is, or seeking a deeper understanding of trauma's ripple effects, this episode offers compassionate guidance and honest reflection on recovery, repair, and the ways we rediscover resilience together.Valeria interviews Alexis Faere — She is the author of  "Invisible Wounds: An Inside Story." Alexis Faere is an award-winning, best-selling author who believes in the healing power of honest stories and human connection. Her memoir, Invisible Wounds, shares the true account of a life-altering moment and the long, tender work of finding one's way back to wholeness. The book has received three honors, including Gold Awards from the International Impact Book Awards and the Global Book Awards, and a Silver Award from Readers' Favorite. A retired project manager and musician, Alexis now speaks with therapeutic organizations, treatment programs, and incarcerated individuals about emotions, responsibility, and the parts of ourselves that still know how to care. Her work creates spaces where people can slow down, listen deeply, and remember that healing often begins with being seen and heard. Through storytelling and shared reflection, Alexis gently reminds us that resilience is not something we earn—it's something we rediscover together.

In the years since the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, many military veterans have carried home an invisible burden. Blast-related mild traumatic brain injury, often called blast-mTBI, has been described as the signature injury of those conflicts. It is labeled mild, yet for many who experience it, the consequences are anything but. Veterans report persistent headaches, sleep disturbances, memory lapses, mood changes, irritability, and difficulties with concentration and decision making. These symptoms can linger for years, affecting relationships, work, and overall quality of life.

In this episode of Curing with Sound, we explore how focused ultrasound is being studied as a treatment for depression and anxiety, told through the perspectives of both a leading researcher and a veteran who experienced it firsthand. Noah Philip, MD, is a professor of psychiatry and human behavior at Brown University's Alpert Medical School and a leading expert on focused ultrasound neuromodulation for psychiatric conditions. He discusses his research using low-intensity focused ultrasound to modulate the amygdala for the treatment of depression and anxiety in veterans. Joining him is Nick Marinelli, an Iraq War veteran and Black Hawk mechanic who participated in Dr. Philip's revolutionary clinical trial after struggling with depression and anxiety for over a decade following his deployment. Nick shares his experience receiving focused ultrasound treatments and the immediate improvements he noticed in his daily mood and his ability to be present with his family, particularly during meaningful moments like his daughter's kindergarten graduation. Discussion highlights: Revolutionary Mental Health Technology: Discover how focused ultrasound neuromodulation offers millimeter-scale precision to target deep brain structures like the amygdala. This noninvasive alternative to traditional psychiatric treatments has the potential to transform mental healthcare for treatment-resistant conditions. From Research to Real-World Impact: Hear about Dr. Philip's advocacy efforts, including his 2024 congressional briefing to expand access to focused ultrasound treatments, and the upcoming four-year VA-funded trial aimed at optimizing dosing strategies for clinical implementation across underserved communities.

Trigger warning: this episode contains discussions of death, suicide, cancer, and trauma, including adverse childhood experiences. In this episode, we're honoured to welcome Major Kate Page, an Army GP whose leadership journey has spanned operational deployments, trauma medicine, and long-term illness. With years of experience as a Regimental Medical Officer (RMO) to artillery, infantry and EOD regiments, Kate brings rare insight into the emotional intelligence and empathy required to lead people in crisis, both physical and psychological. From Iraq to South Sudan and everywhere in between, Kate has provided care in some of the most complex environments. She reflects on the unique role of the military doctor, not just treating illness and injury, but shaping culture, advising the chain of command, and transforming lives through trust and discretion. Her work demonstrates how medical leadership can create loyalty, cohesion, and mission readiness. Kate also opens up about her personal journey with incurable metastatic breast cancer. From the patient's chair as well as the doctor's office, she explores the tension between the needs of the individual and the needs of the service, and what leaders can do to strike the balance. She offers a deeply human perspective on recovery, resilience, and the power of purpose. This conversation is a masterclass in leading with empathy, navigating confidentiality, and fostering psychological safety. As Kate reminds us, “People will always remember how you treat them when they're at their most vulnerable.” And that, more than anything, can define the strength of a team.

Covey – “Between stimulus and response, there is a space…” • Eckhart Tolle – Stillness as a gateway to transformation • Werner Erhard – Being responsible for how the world occurs to you • Stu Weber – Masculine identities that heal rather than harm • Pushing Back Chaos – Real stories, told by men who've walked through fire and come back with lessons ⸻ Listener Challenge: Speak one truth you've been carrying alone.

Comics journalist Jess Ruliffson joins the show to talk about the origins of INVISIBLE WOUNDS (Fantagraphics), her collection of stories from veterans of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, but we wind up talking about guys' butts, among other things. We get into her focus on male vulnerability, the Tim Hetherington photos that led her to make Invisible Wounds, the differences between soldiers who enlisted pre-/post-9/11, what it's like to come home from war with no idea what to do next, and the new comics she's making with her husband, Ernesto Barbieri, about his work as an ICU nurse. We talk about her upbringing in Mississippi, what she's learned about interviewing and how stories sometimes take shape in retrospect, whether it's "permissible" to tell stories about people in a different demographic, the common thread of moral injury in her work, how she met her husband through an MFA open house, and how she found her way into comics and journalism. We also discuss her frustration at not drawing the butts she wants to draw, her experiences teaching comics and learning to give her students permission, what she's learned from making the Terrible Anvil podcast with Tom Hart, why her therapist insisted she never make a memoir, and more!

41 - Healing Invisible Wounds with Russ Hanes What do you do when you're a first responder and you're struggling and making bad decisions at work and you realize this is not working out for you?  That's where Russ Hanes was at after 17 years of working in law enforcement, corrections, and 911 dispatch.  Fortunately for Russ, he was finally able eventually get his life together but it meant leaving the job he loved.  But he still wanted to help people. So, he launched the Invisible Wounds Project, a non-profit that helps improve the lives and mental health of veterans, first responders and their families.  Today we'll hear a little about his story and about an innovative new initiative his nonprofit is launching this month!  Stay tuned for his story.  ABOUT OUR GUEST Russ Hanes is the Founder and Executive Director of the Invisible Wounds Project (IWP) a Minnesota-based nonprofit whose mission is to positively impact and enhance the lives of those who serve(d). IWP provides access to qualified therapy services, and other support services for military, police, fire, EMS, frontline medical staff, corrections, 911 dispatch, and their families related to PTSD, mental health and suicide issues.  Russ spent 17 years working in the public safety field as a police officer, corrections officer, and 911 dispatcher. In 2016, Russ left public safety after silently battling PTSD. Since 2009 Russ has been involved in fundraising for veteran, and first responder causes. It was in 2016 as he battled his own inner demons, and after being told that he "didn't qualify for help" because he wasn't a veteran, that the Invisible Wounds Project was born. Russ recognized that many of his friends and colleagues were suffering from PTSD and cumulative stress but had nowhere to turn. The Invisible Wounds Project which has annually served hundreds of individuals and families, just recently began construction of its IWP Support Center, which is a day-use therapeutic space meant to provide those they serve a place to go for connection and services.

As a former Marine Recon Scout Sniper, the invisible wounds of moral injury in veterans are a subject close to my heart. It's why I'm honored to sit down with Mary Scott from Pivotal Impact Programs, who joins us with over three decades of mental health expertise. Together, we peel back the layers of this complex issue, sharing insights and stories that reveal the emotional struggles veterans and their loved ones endure. This conversation isn't just about the depths of trauma; it's a testament to the human spirit's capacity to overcome and find hope.The bonds we forge with others often bear the weight of our experiences, and when those experiences include combat-related trauma, the impact on personal relationships can be profound. Mary and I delve into the ways veterans carry their past into the present, sometimes with heartbreaking consequences. But we also cast light on the transformative power of love and commitment as key allies on the journey toward healing. Our discussion includes the raw truth of dealing with nightmares, the shame and anger tethered to them, and the cathartic release found within the understanding embrace of retreat programs specifically designed for veterans.Retreats offer a sanctuary for veterans to confront their traumas and rediscover their identities, and in this episode, I recount the life-changing moments these immersive experiences can catalyze. It's not just about the individual either; the group dynamic plays a pivotal role, allowing veterans to build trust and empathy as they share their stories and struggles. From the serene setting of Copper Falls to the guided steps towards healing, we reveal how retreats can pave the way for personal growth and recovery, regardless of one's history. Join us for an unflinchingly honest look at the path to healing moral injury and reclaiming a sense of self after service. Contact Thad - VictoriousVeteranProject@Gmail.comThanks for listening!
