Erase PTSD Now: The Podcast
Erasing the Silence
Our podcast series focused on real stories, real science, and real change in the fight against trauma and PTSD.
This is a 20-minute podcast format designed to:
- Demystify trauma and the healing process
- Elevate underheard voices: survivors, veterans, clinicians, researchers, and advocates
- Showcase powerful treatments like the Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB)
- Inspire action—from listening to advocacy to funding care
Each episode will center on a single guest—either someone with lived experience or an expert in the field—and will blend powerful storytelling with clear, hopeful insight.
