Surviving and Thriving... A First Responder's Experience with PTSD
Send us Fan Mail How people perceive trauma varies in each individual but post traumatic stress disorder is not something to be joked about, swept under the rug, or dismissed. First responder, Steve Gomula shares his story in this episode and how his initially unrecognized PTSD nearly cost him his life. Separating "Gom" from "Steve" and realizing he is more than his experience - he is a person , a dad, a friend and a cherished member of society- is something he continues to strive for every day. I hope this episode impacts people listening and encourages us to be there for each other, validate each other and care so deeply that it's almost weird ! Special guest Sadie, Steve's 7 year old daughter, makes the episode all the more special.
