The war might be over, but for many veterans, the battle continues long after they return home. Sleepless nights, intrusive memories, and the frustration of feeling unheard are all too common. But what if the traditional routes-therapy, medication, the VA-aren't working for you?
Army veteran and nurse practitioner Bee Doyle knows that struggle firsthand. After experiencing severe combat trauma, she found herself lost in a cycle of PTSD, alcohol abuse, and self-doubt. The traditional treatment methods weren't enough, so she sought something different.
In this episode, Bee shares how alternative healing methods-acupuncture, breathwork, astrology, and energy healing-helped her break free from trauma and reclaim her life. She dives into the science and spirituality behind these practices, why they work for some veterans when conventional therapy doesn't, and how you can begin your own journey toward healing.
If you've ever felt like you're out of options, this conversation might just change everything.
