In this episode, Sarah Bachmann sits down with Scott Geiselhart for a deeply honest conversation about PTSD and the hidden toll trauma can take. Scott shares how running his own mechanic shop while also serving as a volunteer firefighter exposed him to situations that slowly began to affect his mental health.
As the nightmares and stress intensified, Scott turned to alcohol and drugs in an attempt to cope. Over time, the weight of those experiences began affecting every part of his life, including his relationships with his family. Scott speaks openly about reaching a breaking point and the moment that forced him to confront what he was truly facing. In searching for answers, he began to recognize the symptoms of PTSD. This episode is the first part of a two-part series that follows Scott’s journey from crisis to understanding.
