Episode #22: PTSD (pt. 1) with Sidney Black
In this thought-provoking episode, Sidney and I engage in a compelling discussion as we explore the complexities of the 13th Amendment of the US Constitution. This episode delves into the nuances of justice, freedom, and the implications of incarceration.
One of the key questions we tackle is whether PTSD is considered real or respected if it is self-inflicted—specifically, when individuals commit crimes, place themselves in prison, and are ultimately responsible for navigating their own trauma. Sidney shares insights and personal perspectives on this sensitive topic, prompting a deeper examination of accountability and mental health within the criminal justice system.
Join us for a candid conversation that challenges conventional views and encourages listeners to reflect on the intersection of personal responsibility and the mental health challenges faced by those impacted by incarceration. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of trauma, justice, and the human experience.
There will be multiple entries on this topic so this is part 1. To be continued…
