NOTE: This episode contains discussion of trauma, suicide and sexual assault. Listener discretion is advised.
Dave Morgan a Vietnam Veteran who has written a book called The Invisible Trauma: Coping with PTSD.
We know from some of the conversations we’ve had on this podcast that serving and veteran military members are particularly vulnerable to trauma.
The Invisible Trauma is Dave’s journey and details the various treatments and studies that he’s been a part of in a quest to find what works for him so he can help others.
The book also includes the living experience of others with Trauma and also the ripple effect on his family with Dave’s wife Debbie and children detailing their perspectives.
It’s a book for all those suffering similarly, not solely defence veterans.
