The Man Hug - Ep043 - PTSD

On this episode we focus on the theme of PTSD and C-PTSD. We are joined by two more fantastic guests discussing their own lived experience along with more support available to men. Our first guest is Jeff Russell, a former Police Officer who lives with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Jeff discusses how trauma in childhood along with years of trauma exposure in his career resulted in a diagnosis of C-PTSD. Jeff discusses the various treatment pathways he tried, until he found that one that really helped. Jeff now gets benefit from on-going therapy and his work as a bush craft facilitator. An inspiring story that you must hear.

We are also joined by Anthony Wood, who is the manager of the Men Too project on the Wirral. Following a road traffic accident Anthony was later diagnosed with PTSD. After receiving the help he needed he re-trained as a mental health counsellor now helping many men in his community. Hear about all of the incredible work that is being done at Men Too and how you can access the service.
