Description

 In this episode of Mind Matters, a mental health-focused series within On the X, Chris welcomes back readjustment counselor Jeff Widenhofer for a candid conversation about PTSD.


They examine the DSM-5 criteria for diagnosis, the ways trauma manifests, whether experienced directly or indirectly, and how overwhelming emotional states can disrupt daily life and relationships. The conversation highlights the instinctual human drive to avoid pain, the challenges of connection and communication, and the importance of normalizing PTSD to reduce stigma.




On the X is an IRONCLAD Original
