The discussion extends to the broader challenges faced by veterans post-service, including mental health issues, struggles with the VA system, and societal stigmas. Major Freedman shares his personal journey, military experience, and valuable insights on recognizing, understanding, and healing from these invisible wounds. The episode further emphasizes the need for clinician-led retreats, the importance of sharing veterans' stories, and integrating women warriors into these narratives.
