What if the things we say and do to support our bravest are actually the things putting them at risk?Dr. Shauna Springer is back. A Harvard-trained psychologist and Chief Psychologist at Stella Mental Health, she's spent over a decade as a trusted “doc” to warfighters and first responders. Her new book, Fallout: 10 Common Beliefs That Kill Our Bravest and the Truths That Can Save Them, dismantles the well-intentioned myths quietly costing lives — from suicide awareness campaigns to the idea that resilience can simply be taught. In this episode, Shauna aka Doc joins Jon and Will to dig into why connection beats every tool and treatment, why grief and trauma need completely different approaches, and the innovative biological treatment changing how PTSD is healed.IN THIS EPISODE:1.  Why suicide awareness campaigns can increase risk instead of preventing it2.  The difference between grief, trauma, and moral injury — and why they need different treatment3.  Elasticity vs. resilience: a better framework for sustainable peak performance4.  Why suicide often feels selfless, not selfish, to a warrior — and how that changes prevention5.  The dual sympathetic reset (DSR/SGB): treating PTSD as a physiological injury firstMore about Dr. Shauna Springer:Check out her website to connect and learn more plus find her latest books.: https://www.thinlineadvisory.comEmail: doc@thinlineadvisory.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/docshaunaspringer/Column: Mental Edge Mondays — https://www.crackyl.com/mental-edge-mondays-the-body-keeps-the-score-but/Stella Mental Health: dual sympathetic reset / stellate ganglion block treatment - https://stellamentalhealth.com/treatments/sgb-dual-sympathetic-reset- GET MORE FROM MTM:Text MTM to 33777 — free weekly newsletterSubscribe & Episodes: https://mentalkingmindfulness.com/FREE APP: https://focusnowtrainingapp.com/FREE Assessment: https://focusnowtraining.com/assessment-pageA2A COURSE:12 modules on attention, presence & performance.

Army veteran Angie Peacock survived Iraq in 2003, only to become a prisoner of psychiatric torture. Between VA and civilian psychiatrists, she was prescribed 18 psychiatric drugs at once, then cold-turkeyed off benzodiazepines—leaving her unable to walk for 2.5 years and suicidal for three straight years.After losing 20 years to psychiatric "treatment," Angie escaped and has since helped over 1,000 people navigate psychiatric drug withdrawal. In this explosive conversation, she exposes how both military and civilian psychiatry systematically poison patients, why asking for help destroyed her military career, and delivers a radical truth: the mental health system isn't broken—it's designed to create lifelong patients.For anyone trapped in psychiatric dependency or questioning their "treatment resistant" label, this episode proves you're not crazy.

Kristen Domke: Military Mental Health is Broken  | The Hopeaholics PodcastIn this deeply emotional and brutally honest episode of the Hopeaholics Podcast, we sit down with Kristen Domke—an Air Force veteran, personal trainer, and survivor—whose life story is nothing short of extraordinary. Kristen opens up about the emotional toll of serving in the military, including multiple deployments, witnessing unimaginable trauma, surviving military sexual assault, and battling intense mental health struggles that led to multiple suicide attempts. Her story is one of heartbreak, resilience, and redemption. After years of numbing pain through alcohol, losing her identity as a military police officer, and feeling completely alone, Kristen finally reached a breaking point—and then, miraculously, a breakthrough. Through intensive treatment, therapy, a renewed connection with faith, and the support of a recovery community, Kristen found the strength to rebuild her life and start healing from the inside out. She talks candidly about how hard it was to ask for help, what recovery really means beyond just sobriety, and how fitness, faith, and setting boundaries helped her find purpose again.#thehopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover  #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #RecoveryIsPossible #Hope #wedorecover Join our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

In this powerful episode, Kim Olver speaks with military counselor and trauma specialist Dr. Janet Morgan about the unique mental health needs of veterans and active-duty service members. Drawing from her work with soldiers, Marines, first responders, and their families, Dr. Morgan explains why understanding military culture is essential for counselors—and why not every therapist is equipped to help.Together, they explore the unspoken pain of post-traumatic stress (not a disorder), the challenge of transitioning to civilian life, the impact of military ethos and identity, and how Choice Theory provides a respectful, empowering framework for healing.Whether you're a mental health professional, veteran, or ally, this episode offers deep insight, practical wisdom, and an invitation to approach military mental health with greater understanding and compassion. Don't miss Part 2 next week as the conversation continues.

In this episode, deeply personal conversation, A-10 Weapons Officer Lorenzo Harris opens up with Mike "Flash" McVay about the mission that changed his life, and the battle he rarely talks about. From earning the Distinguished Flying Cross for a harrowing 8-hour firefight in Afghanistan to silently struggling with guilt, identity, and loss, Lorenzo recounts how he navigated one of the most intense missions of his career and the psychological toll that followed. We trace his journey from growing up in North Pole, Alaska, to becoming one of the most respected A-10 instructors in the U.S. Air Force. Lorenzo reveals how he hit rock bottom—haunted by one mission—and how he rebuilt his life with a new mission: helping others through coaching, mindset development, and service beyond the cockpit. This episode is for anyone who's ever struggled with identity, purpose, or the weight of leadership. One of the most powerful interviews ever recorded on The Afterburn Podcast.

Travis Decker's Untreated PTSD - How Military Mental Health Failures Led to Triple Murder Description: The Travis Decker case reveals a devastating failure of military mental health systems that contributed to the brutal murders of three innocent children. Former Army soldier Travis Decker's untreated PTSD and documented mental health struggles were ignored by both military and civilian systems, ultimately leading to the planned killings of his daughters Olivia, Evelyn, and Paityn. Expert psychotherapist Shavaun Scott provides crucial analysis of how military mental health failures enabled this preventable tragedy. Our comprehensive investigation examines how Travis Decker's military service and subsequent mental breakdown created the perfect storm for familicide. Despite his PTSD, homelessness, and dangerous behavior, neither military nor civilian mental health systems provided adequate intervention or treatment. The case exposes critical gaps in how mentally ill veterans are monitored and treated, particularly when they pose risks to family members. Shavaun Scott breaks down the psychological profile of a veteran whose untreated trauma and mental illness escalated to child murder. We analyze how PTSD symptoms can manifest in domestic violence and familicide, the warning signs that were missed, and the specific failures in Decker's treatment history that contributed to this tragedy. The investigation reveals how military culture and inadequate mental health resources failed to address Decker's deteriorating psychological state. This expert analysis explores the intersection of military service, PTSD, and family violence, examining how veterans' mental health crises can escalate to deadly outcomes when proper intervention and treatment are not provided. We discuss the systemic changes needed in military mental health care to prevent similar tragedies and protect veterans' families from the devastating consequences of untreated trauma. The Travis Decker case serves as a stark warning about the deadly consequences when military and civilian systems fail to adequately address veterans' mental health needs and the risks they may pose to their own families. #TravisDecker #PTSD #MilitaryMentalHealth #VeteranCrisis #Familicide #UntreatedTrauma #MentalHealthFailure #TrueCrime #SystemFailure #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

Send us a textWhen I first stumbled upon Shatara Jewell's Instagram, I thought, “Wow, she's making an impact—I bet I could learn a lot from her!” So I reached out, she said “Yes” and the rest is history.Shatara serves as a Certified Psychiatric Nurse Lieutenant in the United States Navy and provides dedicated care to military personnel and their families dealing with mental health challenges. These challenges are significant; issues like rising suicide rates, alcoholism, and substance use disorders are prevalent. Often, these struggles stem from unresolved childhood traumas, which is particularly concerning given that about 87% of recruits are ages 18 to 24. Shatara's own experiences with childhood trauma give her a unique lens on the intersection of military service, mental health, and personal growth. Her journey demonstrates how faith and perseverance can lead to transformative healing. Speaking of faith, it's the cornerstone of every episode of her podcast, Crazy Black Girl. You'll be fascinated to hear how she came up with that title! I have to say, her method of sharing God's word is inspiring. It's as if she's preaching, without preaching, which is the best kind of preaching.In the five-minute snippet: Did she mention anything about tattoo shops?

Christopher Jachimiec joins us to talk about a recent Rand report that sheds light on a critical issue in the military-trust and confidentiality in mental health care. It found that over half of service members worry that seeking treatment could harm their careers, impact their security clearances, or affect deployment opportunities. Even more striking, nearly 90% of respondents said they would hold back on what they share with military mental health providers due to privacy concerns. These findings highlight the urgent need to address barriers to care and build trust so those who serve can access the mental health support they need without fear of negative consequences.Walk the Talk America would like to thank our partners who make these conversations possible and want to highlight our top two partner tiers below!
