Episode 134: Jacqui Williams & Andria Estrella-Roa - Golf Yankee Six Part II
Description
Jacqui Williams and Andria Estrella-Roa, came back into GRP Studios to talk some more about Veteran mental health on the Check Your Six Podcast. This time around Jacqui and Andria talked about changing the narrative about suicide, no longer "committing" suicide, it is death by suicide. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem, behavioral reactions to feelings, as well as what Little "T" and Big "T" represent. Veterans that are getting out of the military and those returning to active combat situations are approached differently in therapy. Survival brain vs learning brain for veterans while in service or in a civilian setting and that it is not a light switch you can turn on and off. Their recognition that they can't save everyone in their field, they just need to help as many as they can.
