PROLOGUE: At certain points during this episode, you will learn about a movement to change the name associated with (and the way we think about) post-traumatic stress disorder — from PTSD to PTSI, from a diagnosis of a “disorder” to an “injury” model. The change would ultimately save so many lives and you could help effect that change.
I invite you to take part in a letter-writing campaign to the American Psychiatric Association — made especially EASY, using a form-letter that can be personalized. The first of two options involves submitting basic contact information and if you’d like to share more, there’s an opportunity to include that, as well. The printing and mailing of the letter is done on your behalf, FREE of charge. Thank you, kindly, for the consideration.

ABOUT EPISODE 2: My very special guest for EP2 is Devon Larratt, a professional arm wrestler — currently ranked #1 in heavy + super-heavyweight — from Ottawa, Canada. He’s a retired military veteran who served 20 years in the Canadian Special Operations Forces Command (CANSOFCOM). And, yes, if you watched/listened to Episode 1 with my guest Brian Leblanc, then you'll make the connection — both CANSOFCOM vets, Brian introduced Devon to me. And, I'm so glad he did!
You'll get a sense of the struggles that Devon and his family experienced, ones that ultimately gave rise to our meeting, but they're alluded to throughout the episode via Devon’s description of the treatment he received at Stella and how it effected him. His testimony dovetails into my own trauma story and the biological origins of post-traumatic stress — or PTSI (for “injury”). What follows is a discussion about how/when “PTSD” came to be and the current push to change the name/diagnosis by lobbying the American Psychiatric Association. Towards the end of the episode, Devon’s lovely wife, Jodi, joins the discussion and we discuss the phenomenon known as “secondary PTSI” and more.
