Few things can derail your life, like sexual trauma. It can trigger an onslaught of physical and emotional symptoms, making functioning at work and in relationships difficult.  Tragically, it's all too prevalent in the military. Studies show that 33% of female veterans and nearly 2% of male veterans screened positive for military sexual trauma (MST). This means that 1 in 3 women and 1 in 50 men respond “yes” to experiencing MST when screened by their VA provider. Yet the military's power structure often discourages people from reporting MST and getting the help they need. They worry that their superiors may not believe them or that there will be retribution.  There is hope and help for survivors of MST. While the military still has a long way to go, they are working to make it easier for survivors to report sexual trauma. And regardless of whether the survivors reported the trauma directly after the event, the military is opening up more ways for survivors to qualify for the help they need.   If you are a survivor of military sexual trauma, it's time to stop suffering in silence. Out of fairness to yourself and those around you, it's time to claim the VA benefits you are legally entitled to for what you suffered and put yourself on the path to recovery. Let's dive in!

AHERO deescalates the veteran's personal crisis in their time of need.  David and I discussed veteran trauma, Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, homelessness, America's lack of care and concern for the veteran, and a transition plan from the battlefield back to American life.  76% of our veterans have a problem transitioning to civilian life.  This organization is saving lives by defeating suicide through their relationship building plan.  AHERO is a conduit for those veterans returning home.  These issues impact over 9 million returning veterans.  Organizations like AHERO offer that solution. Episode Topics & Keywords:Veterans, David Glassman, Gene Valentino, AHERO, PTSD, PTSI, TBI, Helping Our Heros Timestamp (hours:minutes:seconds) | Notable Topic:00:00:00 | Welcome & Introduction00:02:35 | Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Post Traumatic Stress Injury (PTSI), and Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)00:05:30 | Overview: AHERO Magazine00:06:19 | Pharmaceuticals, Big Pharma, and Health Care solutions are not working00:08:55 | What the DoD are VA are good at, and bad 00:09:30 | 9-million Veterans not enrolled in the VA Health Care system00:15:10 | How to Contact and Get AHERO Magazine00:19:02 | Homelessness, Suicide, Military Sexual Trauma (MST), and Sexual Harassment stats for Active duty and US Veterans00:24:35 | Veteran Transitioning: From Vietnam to today00:26:15 | Military Transition Adjustment Program (TAP) shortfalls00:29:06 | Gene's 2nd Bill of Rights00:33:25 | Top 3 Priorities of AHERO USA: Relationship Building, De-escalating, and answering the question, “What Next?”00:37:19 | Why homeless veterans not using VA services and complex, compounding problems post-serviceAHERO Publisher Retired Lt.

Do you ever have trouble sleeping, dulled responses, heightened reactions, depressed mood, or anxiety? If so, you may have Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). It's important to know that PTSD can occur even if you didn't serve in combat. In addition to combat PTSD, the VA recognizes two other types of PTSD: non-combat and military sexual trauma (MST).

Military Sexual Trauma (MST) is sexual harassment or sexual assault experienced by a military service member during their service. MST can happen to anyone. 1 in 3 female veterans and 1 in 50 male veterans report having experienced MST during their time in service. However, the actual statistics are assumed to be much higher, as MST victims often don't report their trauma. MST can be devastating, even often disabling. It can also impact survivors long-term, causing lasting physical and mental health problems. MST survivors are more likely to experience depression, anxiety, PTSD, and substance abuse. If you've experienced MST, you deserve benefits and compensation. And if you're wondering how the VA verifies MST, or you're ready to get the VA rating you deserve, watch this video!

Military Sexual Trauma (MST) is not a clinical diagnosis. Still, it is an identifier that labels the circumstances a survivor incurred during their sexual assault or sexual harassment experienced by a military service member. It is defined as a physical assault of a sexual nature, a battery of a sexual nature, or sexual harassment.Military Sexual Trauma can affect Veterans of all backgrounds; males, females, ages, gender identities, and racial and ethnic backgrounds. It can also affect Veterans serving on active duty, active duty for training, or inactive duty training. If you're having difficulties related to MST, there are things you can do. Some people recover from MST without significant long-term challenges, while others may require professional support. Many therapies can help, such as ISTDP, EMDR, CBT, and DBT can greatly assist in recovery. If you are a survivor of Military Sexual Trauma, please know that you are not alone. It takes courage to speak up and begin your healing journey. Most importantly, it is not your fault.

Continuing the conversation of Military Sexual Trauma (MST) and what we can all do as a society to do better.Suzi talks with Janelle Marina Méndez, a Marine veteran and human rights CEO of the Military Sexual Trauma Movement, founder of MSTM a Facebook support group for survivors of MST created in 2018 and human rights leader. Suzi and Janelle discusses her time in the military, history of military sexual trauma, movements in helping survivors as well as, deciding to undergo Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB)  treatments. Jánelle has been able to draw from her experience with MST and the issues she experienced to create awareness across the American public.

Rebuilding a foundation of trust can be one of the hardest journey's for anyone to tackle. Today, Suzi talks with two incredibly strong and courageous women who created a safe place of healing and trust so they could live and thrive in a life they knew they truly deserved. Suzi is joined by Luz Helena Thompson, a Marine Corps veteran and Trina McDonald, a Navy veteran, both founders of the Veteran Recovery Project, as they discuss Military Sexual Trauma (MST) and creating a peer to peer safe zone for women struggling with MST.Veteranrecoveryproject.orghttp://www.veteransrecoveryproject.org/aboutVeteransrecoveryprojectorg@gmail.comBioTrina McDonald lives in Puyallup, WA and served in the Navy from 1988-1990. She was one of the subjects of the award-winning documentary The Invisible War, which focused on the crisis of sexual assault in the military. Trina worked as a Chemical Dependency Counselor in high risk communities including the justice system before her PTSD prevented her from continuing her career in Behavioral Science. In 2018 she took on the roll as Senior Outreach Associate with Minority Veterans of America based out of Seattle. MVA outreach will be addressing the underserved veteran population to include LGBTQ, women, people of color and homeless. Trina is also a co-founder of Veterans Recovery Project which aides Veterans improve their mental-health through self-care groups, peer support and recreational therapy.She is also working on a biography and advocates for Suicide Prevention and Reduction of Sexual Violence in the Veteran population. BioLuz Helena (Stacey) Thompson is a seasoned veteran advocate who holds an impressive record for bridging military and civilian divides to promote awareness of the needs of military sexual trauma survivors. Luz Helena served in the Marines from 1998-2000. In 2016, Luz was featured in “Veterans Coming Home”, a documentary of short films which depict the struggles disabled veterans face after coming home and reintegrating back into society. As a result of reporting rape while on active duty in the Marines and her continued efforts to seek justice by insisting her attacker be prosecuted, Luz was retaliated against and separated from the military with an Other Than Honorable (OTH) discharge. Although once stripped of her access to mental healthcare and veteran benefits, Luz found the strength to share her story of survival publicly alongside Senator Barbara Boxer and became a national advocate for survivors of Military Sexual Trauma.  In 2014, Luz was invited by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand to speak in Washington, DC regarding the need for reform of the Military Justice system and the way it handles cases of sexual violence. After years of litigation, Luz received a discharge upgrade from the Department of Defense. Luz holds a Master's of Science Degree from the California University of Pennsylvania. In 2017, Luz was one of ten women Veteran artists selected to showcase their work at the VA Medical Centers around the country in an exhibit titled “Women Veterans Art Exhibit”. Luz is an Art Commissioner for the City of Oceanside and a co-founder of Veterans Recovery Project.Contact Suzi at suzigma@gmail.com if you want to be a guest on Be Crazy Well Podcast.

This is the first time I have recorded a roundtable discussion on MST.  That's why I enlisted the help of the three women you will hear in this episode.  They were gracious to help me with this episode and to tell their story in hopes that it can and will help someone who may be listening.  When MST happens on a base, it is one too many in my opinion.  It's time to stop talking about it and DO something to prevent this from happening to someone else.

In this first part of the episode, podcast hosts, Levi and Brandon, interview army Veteran, Trever Siver. Trever candidly discusses trauma, mental health, and substance use. Trever recounts his childhood, time in the army as a cook, and his battle with addiction and journey to sobriety.Trever was born and raised in Iowa. While in high school, Trever decided to join the army and served from 1999 to 2004, being stationed in Korea and Germany.  Trever survived multiple traumatic injuries where he was introduced to opiates to manage the pain, eventually leading to a long-term battle with substance use. With the support of Dr. Miller at the VA, Trever worked to overcome addiction and continues to receive services from the VA. In the second part of the episode, hosts interview Levi's hometown friend and army Veteran, Henry Uken. Henry speaks openly about his experiences in the army, the traumatic brain injuries he sustained during deployment and the symptoms he still experiences today. He also details his recovery with substance use disorder and mental health treatment after being discharged. Henry Uken grew up in Perry, Iowa with Levi Sowers. Henry served in army until May 2013, where he was deployed multiple times in both Iraq and Afghanistan. While serving, he sustained multiple blast injuries, resulting in traumatic brain injuries.

In this episode I got to interview Pete Naschak. He is a former Navy SEAL for over 20 years as well as the founder and principal of Senaptec, which is what originally got me interested in interviewing Pete. Senaptec produces equipment and expertise around human sensory performance (aka vision training).  Vision training is a huge area of improvement for all performers. Think about it, you use your eyes for pretty much everything when performing. So how do you target training your eyes? Enter Senaptec! They create specialized strobe goggles and sensory stations that improve your visual acuity and directly improve performance. They are utilized by dozens of MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, NCAA, Military, and many other organizations to enhance vision training and improve performance.  Pete Naschak Bio: Pete retired from the U.S. Navy SEAL Teams after a 21 year career, where he held various operational and leadership positions, lived overseas, and participated in military contingency operations throughout the world. Throughout his military and post-military careers, Pete has had direct experience and involvement with strategic planning, specialized training, and individual and team development in high performance, high demand, and austere environments. After retirement, Pete finished a Master’s of Science degree in Global Leadership, a qualification as a Project Management Professional (PMP), and a certificate in Global Business Management and Strategy. Pete provides specialized consulting services including product development, individual and team performance initiatives, and organizational development for top tier companies, teams, and individuals.

Hello fellow Veterans, DP Veteran Master Coach with Team Champions and today along with fellow Veteran Coach Amy and Jen a licensed trauma therapist and we will be discussing Military Sexual Trauma (MST) and discussing the tolls it takes on veterans and how you can claim a VA disability claim for MST. If you want to work with Team Champions you can sign up at http://www.joinVACI.com What is MST? “The definition used by the VA comes from Federal law (Title 38 U.S. Code 1720D) and is psychological trauma, which in the judgment of a VA mental health professional, resulted from a physical assault of a sexual nature, battery of a sexual nature, or sexual harassment which occurred while the Veteran was serving on active duty, active duty for training, or inactive duty training.” A difficulty with things that remind them of their experiences of sexual trauma: feeling on edge or “jumpy” all the time; difficulty feeling safe; going out of their way to avoid reminders of their experiences. Difficulties with relationships: feeling isolated or disconnected from others; abusive relationships; trouble with employers or authority figures; difficulty trusting others. It is also stated that because a lot of sexual trauma goes unreported, the evidence is accepted from sources that most claims would not allow. Here are some examples of those options: - Department of Defense sexual assault or harassment reporting forms - Investigative Reports completed during military service - Law enforcement reports - Mental Health Counseling Centers - Hospitals - Requests for transfer to another military duty assignment - Decrease work performance - Unexplained behavior (economic or social) - Sexual dysfunction ✔️Join VA Claims Insider Elite, get instant access to the ELITE Experience Portal (EEP) and $13,119 worth of proprietary VA claim resources TODAY, and obtain an Independent Medical Opinion (IMO), Disability Benefits Report (DBR) and Medical Nexus Letters: http://www.vaclaimsinsiderelite.com http://www.joinVACI.com

American society and especially in the military, there is an idea that being provocative equates to consent. Consent involves a conversation about the past, the present, and the future. All resources are provocative. Money is one of the most provocative and sought after resources in the world. When someone steals cash, we don't place responsibility and accountability on the bank because its contents were provocative. We place accountability on the person who committed the crime. Why do we feel it is okay to place blame on victims of Military Sexual Trauma (MST)? This Perspectives Podcast episode directly challenges the status quo and looks and new and healthier beliefs that can help us #EndMST and hold leaders and the attackers responsible. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mstmovement/support

The Kruse Corner Blog was launched one year ago, standing as both a homage to an Army Veteran that had taken his own life and as a reminder that, if we are going to bring an end to veteran suicide, we have to learn to have some tough conversations. That is why in the year that Kruse Corner has been around, tough topics such as veteran suicide, mental illness, difficult transitions, VA health care failures, and Military Sexual Trauma (MST) have been addressed. With all that goes on in the world and how much information we scan over on our devices every minute, it is too easy to overlook our nation's heroes when they are often missing from news reports or overshadowed by politics and celebrities. Kruse Corner has worked hard to keep the spotlight on Veteran issues and in making sure we continue to fight for those that are still here. From its humble beginning as a simple blog to the podcast it is today, the Kruse Corner journey has been long, difficult, and absolutely rewarding. Thank you to all that have supported and stood by us. We truly do fight and heal better together. Check out this episode to hear our story.

LifeWave patches may be used to help heal emotional trauma, calm anxiety, and deal with stress, especially from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)? There are acupuncture points that harmonize Fire and Water and calm the spirit or shen housed in the Heart to reverse these conditions. During the next Ask The Doctors LifeWave Radio Show Monday, Dr. Dennis and I will be discussing how to apply LifeWave patches on certain acupuncture points to harmonize Heart and Kidney energy or qi and calm shen. We will consider causes of PTSD, such as Military Sexual Trauma (MST), and Western treatments for PTSD in contrast to Asian medical approaches. We will discuss how to patch based on the spirit of certain acupuncture points, such as Three Sisters, which harmonize the qi and calm the Heart.

From a small 3-Stop light town in Colorado, to the silver screen… Navy Veteran Jennifer Marshall is highlighted on this special Veteran’s day release of #YearOfTheVet! By far one of my favorite conversations to date (even though I sounded like I was out of it the whole time), the #YearOfTheVet family is absolutely going to love this conversation with Jenn as much as I did—and soon you’ll realize why! Given a pretty shitty and unstable foundation to build upon, Jenn fought to never be looked at as a zero, and because of that she’s a hero! Joining the Navy immediately after High School, Jenn’s military career looked promising until Jenn started to get the adverse reactions to the anthrax shot that was forced upon us right after 9/11. This Operational Iraqi Freedom veteran and at some point Junior Sailor of the Quarter set sails to Hollywood, California (see what I did there?), but not before educating her mind!Jenn’s primary claim to fame is her face… and that’s not a sexist remark—Jenn lands roles for a living; and you may have seen her in some small productions you might miss if you’re not looking like Stranger Things, and Hawaii 5-0. She’s also been is some American classics like Poseidon Rex. Jenn’s busy. Let’s put this into perspective… She and I are mid-Thirties. She served her country, went to college—twice… volunteered teaching time abroad, volunteers all over California with 5 different groups, AND STILL has 57 acting credits to make up just a scratch of what Jennifer brings to the table.Man, I tell you… This conversation is bananas, because I feel like we get as deep as we can while trying to fit in as many topics as we can, and we hit some pretty tight emotions! We cover everything from becoming a student veteran in a college that primarily doesn’t share the same views of the world, to the taxing process and emotional joy of adoption! We cover tricks of the trade on the Hollywood scene, as well as the selfish benefits of volunteering. There’s even talk of drug addiction, and sexual abuse.Jennifer Marshall came on the show and gave me her all, and I am grateful for her authenticity, and her ability to make me look good in this conversation! I’m honored that she came to share time with me for this conversation, and I hope that all women heroes out there have the opportunity to hear this episode of #YearOfTheVet and find strengths in your own stories, to own your voices like she has—and inspire those behind you!-----------------Show Notes-----------------(4:08) Did you say Kale?(5:08) Living in gratitude(7:36) The power of social media(8:35) Help Get me out of here(9:39) Pressure creates diamonds(11:05) There is no try (14:08) Leaving small town(17:15) We can outwork most civilians(18:37) Ohhhh Anthrax(25:56) Leaving the service(27:30) Becoming a student veteran(29:44) Set-up to fail(30:20) Biggest slap in the face (33:08) Dancing around the word difficult(37:19) Failing a generation of kids…(40:28) Starting from scratch (43:57) Jennifer’s Why(45:39) Our thoughts on using the platforms you built… (47:42) Volunteering(52:52) The power of being present (54:39) The power of talking about hard shit(1:00:21) Sorry… I’m looking for corn, not fancy peas (Advice for the thespians)!(1:05:02) City of Angels, or City of Broken Dreams?(1:06:42) You may not be the first selection… thats ok(1:10:19) Choosing to Adopt — THIS is insightful AF… (1:17:30) When Vets talk Parenting… (This is actually a new project I’m working on!!!)(1:23:23) A message to the female heroes!

This Operational Iraqi Freedom veteran and at some point Junior Sailor of the Quarter set sails to Hollywood, California (see what I did there?), but not before educating her mind!Jenn’s primary claim to fame is her face… and that’s not a sexist remark—Jenn lands roles for a living; and you may have seen her in some small productions you might miss if you’re not looking like Stranger Things, and Hawaii 5-0. She’s also been is some American classics like Poseidon Rex. Jenn’s busy. Let’s put this into perspective… She and I are mid-Thirties. She served her country, went to college—twice… volunteered teaching time abroad, volunteers all over California with 5 different groups, AND STILL has 57 acting credits to make up just a scratch of what Jennifer brings to the table.Man, I tell you… This conversation is bananas, because I feel like we get as deep as we can while trying to fit in as many topics as we can, and we hit some pretty tight emotions! We cover everything from becoming a student veteran in a college that primarily doesn’t share the same views of the world, to the taxing process and emotional joy of adoption! We cover tricks of the trade on the Hollywood scene, as well as the selfish benefits of volunteering. There’s even talk of drug addiction, and sexual abuse.Jennifer Marshall came on the show and gave me her all, and I am grateful for her authenticity, and her ability to make me look good in this conversation! I’m honored that she came to share time with me for this conversation, and I hope that all women heroes out there have the opportunity to hear this episode of #YearOfTheVet and find strengths in your own stories, to own your voices like she has—and inspire those behind you!-----------------Show Notes-----------------(4:08) Did you say Kale?(5:08) Living in gratitude(7:36) The power of social media(8:35) Help Get me out of here(9:39) Pressure creates diamonds(11:05) There is no try (14:08) Leaving small town(17:15) We can outwork most civilians(18:37) Ohhhh Anthrax(25:56) Leaving the service(27:30) Becoming a student veteran(29:44) Set-up to fail(30:20) Biggest slap in the face (33:08) Dancing around the word difficult(37:19) Failing a generation of kids…(40:28) Starting from scratch (43:57) Jennifer’s Why(45:39) Our thoughts on using the platforms you built… (47:42) Volunteering(52:52) The power of being present (54:39) The power of talking about hard shit(1:00:21) Sorry… I’m looking for corn, not fancy peas (Advice for the thespians)!(1:05:02) City of Angels, or City of Broken Dreams?(1:06:42) You may not be the first selection… thats ok(1:10:19) Choosing to Adopt — THIS is insightful AF… (1:17:30) When Vets talk Parenting… (This is actually a new project I’m working on!!!)(1:23:23) A message to the female heroes!

We recorded this podcast to coincide with a series of online trainings that Dr. Monteith is conducting and because this is a particular time in our country where sexual assault is on the minds of many. Lindsey discusses with Adam how we can take a public health approach to sexual violence, one where we can all take responsibility for ending the violence and helping victims heal. Her research of late has taken a qualitative approach where survivors are given a chance to speak in their own voice and make their own choices. She reminds us to listen with compassion and to believe what survivors are telling us.

Andrew Marr of Warrior Angels Foundation, Mondo Pimentel of De Espresso Liber, and Mark Pew of Prium join the podcast team of Robert, Mike, Rudy, and Kat to discuss veteran post traumatic stress and military sexual trauma.

  Tonight's SPECIAL GUEST is Brian Lewis, a survivor of sexual assault while serving in the American military. During a tour of duty in the US Navy, Petty Officer Lewis, a submariner, was sexually assaulted by a superior non–commissioned officer. While the predator was known to the command for committing these types of acts before, he was never charged. But Brian was unfairly discharged from the service with a diagnosis of his having a "personality disorder." He's still fighting the Veteran's Administration for appropriate treatment for his PTSD, a direct result of his experiencing Military Sexual Trauma (MST). In 2010, there were 19,000 cases of sexual assault reported in the military, resulting in some 3,000 courts martial. Although Brian was subsequently granted disability, he continues to struggle with a frustrating and self-protecting military medical services system. He supports the efforts of Jackie Speier (D-CA, 12 District) who in November 2011 introduced the STOP Act, H.R. 3435, a bill that seeks to revise how the military deals with cases of sexual trauma. Please see: Service Women's Action Network ServiceWomen.org, the Military Rape Crisis Center StopMilitaryRape.org, and Protect our Defenders ProtectOurDefenders.com/main where there's a petition drive in support of these issues.
