Season 5, Episode 13: Trauma shows up in our bodies and our brains, having both a mental and physical impact. The long-term effects of trauma can even include changes in the brain, impacting memory, mood, and cognitive skills. Today we speak with MBH Senior Fellow Dr. Bessel van der Kolk about trauma and how early intervention can help decrease violence and incarceration rates. Neurofeedback and The Sacred Path To Emotional Regulation (themeadows.com) Beyond Theory, powered by Meadows Behavioral Healthcare, is produced and hosted by me, Dominic Lawson. You can discover more at BeyondTheoryPodcast.com. Special thanks to MBH Senior Fellow Dr. Bessel van der Kolk.

Finally, thank you for listening, and I hope you join us next week for another episode of Beyond Theory.
We depend on our first responders – firefighters, cops, emergency room workers – every day. They protect us from harm. But what happens when they need our help? Our guest Robert Wisniewski is a Certified Specialist in Workers' Compensation law with the Arizona State Bar and a military veteran. Post-traumatic Stress Disorder is a real thing, PTSD. How does this fit into state Workers' Comp protections? You can't see these mental scars. And every state is different. Some states don't offer benefits for these issues. The military and the Veterans Administration understand the damage we can't see, but it's unclear where first responders fit at a state level Remember, every state has its own rules. This is a tough one, but we're talking about our hometown heroes. There can be a stigma, and sometimes issues don't get reported until it's too late, or the chain of command drops the ball. And unlike falling off a ladder or getting in a car wreck on the job, PTSD injuries may be the result of repeated incidents over a long term. It's hard to say “when” the mental injury happened, how do you make that claim? Courts are struggling with this. Non-physical stressors may be limited to a single incident, not a working lifetime of stress. We owe first responders support and care when they need it. This is a confusing and complicated issue. But this is important.

About Today's GuestAndrew Morton currently serves as part of PsychArmor's Strategic Communications team in the role of External Relations. Andrew is retired Army Infantry Officer with a combined 30 years of service and experience within the military community and veteran employment and transition space. Since his transition from active-duty Andrew has spent much of the last decade focused on veterans' employment and transition initiatives across various strategic roles at the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). He has served on various boards and advisory commissions across the Department of Labor, Veterans Services Organizations, and the private sector focused on military community employment, retention, and inclusive work-place practices. Andrew served in multiple leadership and communications roles during his twenty-one year Infantry and Public Affairs officer career to include Chief of Marketing and Advertising for the Army Reserve, and Chief of Pan-Arabic Media Outreach and Engagement as part of Multi-National Force-Iraq. He continued to serve in multiple communications roles during his time at SHRM building programs focused on breaking down barriers and building connections between the military and employer community. As contributing author to the late Justin Constantine's book From We Will to At Will- A Handbook for Veteran Hiring, Transitioning, and Thriving in the Workplace, Andrew and Constantine addressed the challenge of that cultural shift from the military community as well as the mutually-shared responsibility to close that gap in understanding through individual and organizational-level awareness. Andrew's first-person journey as soldier and military spouse has also instilled a passion for behavior and mental health initiatives. As part of this journey he is completing the final clinical portion of his Masters in Mental Health Counseling from the College of William and Mary serving as a therapist-intern within the Veterans Administration which he will complete in May of 2023. Andrew lives in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia with his wife Emily, as well as his three children- and a myriad of animals.

What happens when veterans pair up with legendary Nashville songwriters? They produce songs more powerful than prescription drugs or therapy. We learned about Operation Song from Executive Director and Army combat veteran Mike Byer.Byer shares how he went from program participant to Executive Director, and shares a powerful story about how the songwriting process helped save his life. We go behind the music and examine the songs like “Good Co-Pilot.” Created by a WWII veteran who recalls landing a jet on a carrier during a Hurricane, it's a powerful testimony of his faith. And we unpack the story behind “Machine Gunner” which is an anthem about a Marine Corps veteran's memories of being on patrol in Afghanistan.

Dan Cerrillo is the former Chief Administrative Officer for American Addiction Centers (AAC), where he led ~15 teams that improve the lives of veterans struggling with addiction and PTSD. Prior to his promotion to CAO in 2022, Dan served AAC as the Chief of Staff and Chief Security Officer. In those roles, Dan was instrumental in helping AAC obtain Tricare and Veterans Administration approval, which has enabled the organization to treat 4000+ veterans and support them in returning to normal, productive lives. Dan was an original member of BUD/S Class 194 and served with SEAL Team One as an operator and instructor after graduation. He was later accepted to the Naval Special Warfare Center/ Special Operations instructor staff and received his accreditation as a Master Training Specialist for Advanced Applied Explosives, Diving Supervisor, Diving Maintenance and Range Operations Safety. A decorated Navy SEAL, Dan has been awarded the Bronze Star, Navy Commendation and Navy Achievement Medals – all with combat distinguishing devices – as well as the Purple Heart Medal. Just before Dan was slated to transition into a civilian career in finance, after graduating with a BBA in Finance, he watched the events of 9/11 unfold. Instead of leaving the military, he chose to continue serving his country for the next six years, during which time he deployed with Naval Special Warfare Group One, SEAL Team Seven, and SEAL Team One to both Iraq and Afghanistan. Following a combat injury, Dan medically retired from the SEALs, though he continues to serve in board, advisory, and ambassador capacities for the Navy SEAL Foundation and the Navy SEAL Fund. In 2020, Dan played an instrumental role in creating the Military Wellness Initiative and Navy SEAL Support Alliance, a $30M joint endeavor of multiple strategic partners. Dan has held multiple executive protection specialist and team leader roles at Vulcan, Inc. and Bayshore Global Management which later inspired him to launch Spartan 7, Inc., a company that provides security, adventures, and executive coaching to high-net-worth individuals, families, and corporations across the US. Dan is currently the CEO of Spartan 7, Inc., and in just three years, he has taken the business from a $2500 startup to a valuable brand worth over $50M. Other work experience includes launching three CrossFit Gyms in the greater Seattle area, which were later sold for a substantial profit, and serving as the Chief of Staff and Director of recruiting for Bayshore Global Management's Global Support Division (GSD.ngo), where he created world's first privately funded disaster aid and humanitarian response team – built of staff from Harvard Humanitarian, Stanford Medicine, and former Special Operations Operators – that was deployed to 10+ natural disaster sites and 100+ humanitarian aid sites. Dan also co-founded the Memorial Day “Murph” Challenge, which has raised over $50M in donations for the Michael Murphy Family Foundation through over 1M participants to date. In addition to his BBA, Dan is finishing a Master of Science (MS) degree in Strategic Leadership from the University of Charleston. He is also a Nationally Registered Wilderness Emergency Medical Technician (Level B), a credential which he obtained from the University of Utah. Dan and his wife Leilani have been married for over 20 years. They reside outside of Nashville and enjoy traveling to visit their three grown children at every opportunity. In his free time, Dan has coached multiple high school, college, and junior football teams to winning conference, state, and national championship titles. Dan is currently the Head Coach of the Sub Varsity Team, and Varsity Assistant Linebacker Coach of the Nationally Ranked (15) and defending Tennessee State Football Champions Lipscomb Academy.

Dr. Morski spent nine years as a physician at the Veterans Administration. She now spreads the word about psychedelic science and healing and is the president of the Psychedelic Medicine Association. Lynn Marie Morski joins us to discuss psychedelics. She shares how psychedelics are being used for neuroplasticity, PTSD, trauma, depression, and more. She also shares the current legalization and decriminalization status for psychedelics. Disclaimer: This is not medical advice. If you are interested in psychedelics, go to a trained professional (not Burning Man). “Psychedelics generally amplify whatever emotion you're having. So instead of being able to go in and do deep work, if you're already anxious it might just make you more anxious.” “There's a number of things that psychedelics do but increasing neuroplasticity definitely does help because you're changing the way that your brain functions.” “Right now, mental health conditions with trauma at their core and physical conditions that have relation to neurology are probably the two most promising areas.” “Psychedelics increase connectivity and they reset the default mode network.” “Step one: don't take drugs from strangers.” Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your pods.

Matthew Holtkamp has only a couple of weeks left to enjoy a pre-elected office life, but there was some official business he had to take care of on Friday night for his soon-to-be new position. He had to be sworn in. New commissioners typically hold their swearing in ceremonies sometime in the December before their term officially begins. This time it was Holtkamp's turn, after he defeated outgoing Commissioner Marlene Fosque in last month's general election, and the ceremony was held at the Gwinnett County Historic Courthouse. And, in true Gwinnett County commissioner fashion, Holtkamp evoked the often-mentioned “Gwinnett Standard” county mantra as he addressed supporters at the swearing-in ceremony. Holtkamp will be the only Republican on the five-member county commission when he takes office in January. In his post-swearing-in remarks, he thanked the Gwinnett Republican Party executive board for supporting his campaign. But, Holtkamp did get support from across the political aisle at his swearing-in ceremony. Two Democrats who will soon be Holtkamp's colleagues on the county commission, Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson and Commissioner Kirkland Carden, attended the ceremony. Hendrickson and Holtkamp are both members of the Rotary Club of Gwinnett. As Holtkamp addressed attendees at the ceremony, he recalled moving to Gwinnett from Ohio in the 1980's and having to learn how things worked in Georgia, and also some of he local vernacular. A roller coaster of a first half and Georgia's highest scoring state championship football game ever left the Mill Creek High School players both exhausted and jubilant Saturday. They had just made history in multiple ways on a foggy night with misting rain at Georgia State's Center Parc Stadium. The Hawks won the first state football title in school history with a 70-35 rout of previously unbeaten Carrollton, giving Gwinnett its third straight state champion in Class AAAAAAA. Their 70 points broke the state record for most points scored by one team in a state final according to Georgia High School Football Daily records, besting the old mark of 62 set by Valdosta in 1971 and Warner Robins in 2020. Mill Creek finished 14-1, pushing past the school record for wins in a season by a game. It wrapped up a completely dominant postseason with another convincing victory, putting an exclamation point on a run that featured the Hawks dealing out the mercy rule of a running clock to their first four playoff opponents. The showdown of nationally ranked teams — Mill Creek is Number 18 by MaxPreps and Carrollton is Number 20, while Carrollton is Number 20 and Mill Creek is Number 24 by USA Today — featured a first half of each team landing shots with the big play. Two of the Hawks' early scoring plays were on special teams that had them up 28-14 after the first quarter. Carrollton which hadn't allowed more than 28 points in a game all season, never got the deficit to single digits after the first quarter despite 529 yards and five touchdowns from freshman quarterback Julian Lewis. The Hawks hit the 70-point mark with a nine-play, six-minute scoring drive, set up by Jamal Anderson's fourth-down sack. Kevin Mitchell's 48-yard TD run with 1:36 left in the fourth quarter capped the scoring and made Mill Creek the eighth Gwinnett school to win a state football title in Georgia's largest class, joining Brookwood, Collins Hill, Grayson, Norcross, North Gwinnett, Parkview and Peachtree Ridge. Gwinnett high school football continued its impressive run with Mill Creek's championship. At least one Gwinnett team has won a state football title in 15 of the past 17 seasons. A Navy veteran who went on to work for the Veterans Administration and participated in several community groups has received a recognition from the Daughters of the American Revolution. The Philadelphia Winn Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution recently presented a DAR America 250 Commendation to Terry Edward Pyatt Manning. Manning was recognized for roles he filled in the the armed forces and Veterans Administration as well as roles he filled in the community. He served in the Navy from 1967 until 1970 and left the military as a petty officer first class. He later went on to work for the Veterans Administration, where he eventually became the auditor-in-charge. But, he was also president of the Friends of the National Archives Southeast Region, is a member of the Gwinnett Historical Society, co-founded the Gwinnett County Genealogy Study Group and gives lectures on early American history, which he does while wearing colonial attire. Manning, who is married to Philadelphia Winn chapter member Virginia Manning, is also involved with groups that work with the DAR. He is a member of the Button Gwinnett Sons of the American Revolution, the Atlanta Sons of the American Revolution, the Georgia Society of the Sons of the American Revolution and is the Senior President of the Allen Howard Society of the Children of the American Revolution. Northside Hospital will be building more of the new tower at its Gwinnett campus right away than previously announced, in a move that will make the Lawrenceville site the largest campus in the Northside Hospital system in 2025. Officials from Northside said the Georgia Department of Community Health gave them the green light on Wednesday to add seven more stories onto the construction that is gearing up for the new inpatient tower that is being built at the Gwinnett campus. That will put the tower at 17 stories, which is the height it was always intended to eventually be, all in one go at construction rather than in phases as was previously planned. It will add 146 patient beds at the hospital, and put Northside Gwinnett at a total of 696 beds. The tower, when completed, is expected to compete for the title of being the tallest building in Gwinnett County, at a height of 257 feet and six inches. Its closest competitor for the title, local officials had said in the past, would be the Sonesta Gwinnett Place Atlanta hotel, which has at least 15 floors. Getting the permission to build additional seven floors means the tower will not be built in stages, as had been the plan at one time. With state authorization granted, Northside officials now only need the blessing of the Federal Aviation Administration — since the hospital is near Briscoe Field and the tower will be more than 200 feet tall — to proceed. The hospital system has already filed paperwork to get the FAA's blessing, and is expecting an answer soon. When former Gwinnett County Commission Chairwoman Charlotte Nash was a young girl growing up in the Harbins area, farming was still king. She recalls a time when eastern Gwinnett was truly rural — even though it's less developed that other parts of Gwinnett today, Nash is quick to point that she does not believe it's really rural anymore. When she thinks of the area being rural, she thinks of the farmland that used to be widespread in eastern Gwinnett. In fact, she remembers there being more farmland than forests in the Dacula area back in the day. Nash was one of several dignitaries, including Governor Brian Kemp and current Gwinnett Commission Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson, who attended Rowen's groundbreaking ceremony, which was held on a field on Drowning Creek Road on Friday. The 2,000-acre research-oriented “knowledge community” mixed-use development, located between Dacula and the Gwinnett-Barrow county line, has been in the planning stages since it was first announced in 2020, in Nash's final year in office. It is expected to take decades to build out, but it is projected to create at least 100,000 new jobs in eastern Gwinnett, according to Rowen Foundation President Mason Ailstock. The agricultural innovation aspect of Rowen in particular will likely have a major impact across the state since, according to the Georgia Department of Economic Development, agribusiness is the state's largest industry. Buford's wrestling team won the 18-team Aaron Kirkland Invitational on Saturday. The tournament honors former Buford wrestler Kirkland, who died in an October 2021 car accident. The Wolves finished ahead of runner-up Rockmart, third-place Mount Pisgah, fourth-place Creekview and fifth-place Etowah. Buford's D.J. Clarke, Rylan Ibold, Kieron McCormack, Drew Gorman, Gavin Pope and Aaron Riner won weight class titles. #GwinnettDailyPost #Georgia #LocalNews -- - - The Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast is local news for Lawrenceville, Norcross, Duluth, and all of Gwinnett County.

Today's guest is Mr. Donnie Harris, is a former guest of ours on the show. However, given the fact that there's so much money put into the infrastructure plan, I thought it would behoove me to bring him back on to let all the listeners out there to listen to the episode once again. Donnie Harris is a former senior contracting officer with an unlimited warrant, meaning he could sign off at any size contract. Over the course of his 20 years in government he managed complex and high-profile procurements totaling over $3 billion, that's billion with a B, from the acquisition phase to the pre-award for three DC agencies. His government customers where Mr. Harris provided procurement support included the Internal Revenue Service, Federal Aviation Administration, the Veterans Administration, Food and Drug Administration, Commerce, SBA, Department of Homeland Security, Coast Guard, DOE, National Institutes of Health, and the Department of Labor. What I like the most about this interview with Mr. Harris was that he shared some truths about how the government works from the inside. These are things that are rarely heard outside of the government workplace. He shared his insights, tools, the things that he's learned, suggestions for small businesses on how to grow, all of that in this episode. Listen to this episode with our Govcon giant, Mr. Donnie Harris.
For the second time in two years, Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden is being sued for delays in processing concealed handgun permits and pistol purchase permits. Carolina Journal reports: The second lawsuit and request for injunctive relief was filed by retired former N.C. Supreme Court and Court of Appeals Judge Bob Hunter and N.C. Attorney Ron Shook in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of N.C. on behalf of Grassroots North Carolina (GRNC) and the Gun Owners of America (GOA) organizations. Andy Stevens and Bryan Yerke, spokesmen for plaintiffs GRNC and GOA, held a press conference at the Mecklenburg County Courthouse on Nov. 28 to address the latest lawsuit against McFadden. Sheriff McFadden was initially sued by GRNC and GOA in 2021 over the department's continued delay of gun permit issuances. The result of the litigation ended with McFadden agreeing to comply with state law regarding gun permit applications. In a statement to WSOC-TV, Sheriff McFadden admits he is sending all applications through the Veterans Administration - even though the VA reports information to the already-available NICS background check system. “At this time MCSO has not received service/notice pertaining to this alleged lawsuit. MCSO continues to remain in compliance with the Pistol Purchase Permits (PPP) and Concealed Handgun Permits (CHP) statue. The agency has 14-days to process a PPP and 45-days for a CHP once we have received all required paperwork, including ALL mental health releases. Applications are processed first in, first out, and unfortunately, the facilities do not send the releases back in chronological order. We have also found that not everyone discloses their military status on their application, so to be sure we are getting accurate information our process is to check everyone through the same facilities which include the VA. Since the beginning of the pandemic MCSO has implemented several changes to the process to be more efficient to include mailing permit(s) to customers to eliminate visits to the office. Last year the division also added two additional staff members. Within the last couple of weeks MCSO began using an interface between the state system and our permit vendor, Permitium to eliminate staff from having to do duplicate entry on new applicants.” Get exclusive content here!: https://thepetekalinershow.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Mecklenburg County Sheriff is swamping the Veterans Administration with mental health release requests in an effort to slow down conceal handgun permit approvals. Sheriff Garry McFadden is now being sued for the second time in as many years over his office's inability or refusal to issue the permits in a timely manner. Paul Valone, the President of Grass Roots NC - which is suing McFadden - says the Sheriff is burdening the VA with paperwork for applicants that were never even in the military. Pete says the unethical tactic should prompt an examination of whether he can be impeached or otherwise removed from office.

This week we welcomed Bryan Buckley on the show, CEO of Helmand Valley Growers Company. HVGC is a California based cannabis company who donates 100% of it's profits to medical research for cannabis. As a heavily decorated combat veteran, he's had his share of challenges related to acclimating back to civilian life after serving in the military. The toll it took on his body created a time of limited rest and ease in his body. Until he tried medical cannabis. He knew that every Veteran needed this as a viable, legal choice to alleviate pain and suffering. So he went to work connecting with Congress and learning what would be required for cannabis to be available through the Veterans Administration. His story is incredible and something we should all support. Please listen, follow and support Bryan in efforts. instagram.com/bryan_buckley_09 is best where to follow.

This week on Black on Black Cinema, the crew returns to discuss the 2022 film, Breaking, starring John Boyega, Nicole Beharie, Selenis Leyva, and the late Michael K. Williams. Based on the 2017 real-life story of the late Brian Brown-Easley, a former Marine Corps veteran in financial trouble. Easley is concerned over the effects of this on his daughter alongside the prospects of homelessness to the point of threatening to blow up a Wells Fargo bank in order to receive payment he believes he is owed from the Veterans Administration.
Willie Haywood Jr., National Veterans Affairs Council 262 Sixth District President of the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), joined the America's Work Force Union Podcast and discussed the success candidates they endorsed had during the midterm election.
