Talking About Combat Helped My PTSD: Medal of Honor Recipient
The American Veterans Center is dedicated to supporting veterans and their families. We provide resources and support to help veterans overcome the challenges they face, including PTSD. One of the most important things veterans can do to recover from PTSD is to talk about their experiences. Talking about their experiences can help them to process what happened and to make sense of their feelings.
In this blog post, we will hear from a Medal of Honor recipient who shares how talking about his combat experiences helped him overcome PTSD. This is a powerful reminder that talking about your experiences can be a vital step in your recovery journey.
The Power of Sharing
"I was in Vietnam for 13 months, and I saw a lot of things that no one should ever have to see. I saw my friends die, and I saw people get hurt. I was scared a lot of the time. After I came home, I had trouble sleeping. I had nightmares. I was always on edge. I didn’t want to talk about what happened. I thought it would make things worse. But then I started talking to a therapist, and it really helped. It helped me to understand what I was going through and to start to heal." - Medal of Honor Recipient
Talking about your experiences can be difficult, but it is important. It can help you to process what happened and to make sense of your feelings. It can also help you to connect with others who have been through similar experiences. If you are struggling with PTSD, please reach out for help. There are many resources available to help you heal.
