Courage of Choice

Our special guest, Melody Barnhart, a recently discharged Active Duty Veteran and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) sufferer takes the courage to come forward and enlightens our listeners. When it comes to the military and the struggles of our service members with PTSD that talking about it and seeking help can be more challenging, even frightful than being at war itself.  War isn’t the only traumatizing event for these service members.  They are suffering from traumatic events brought on by their “leadership” even on the home fronts, sometimes making their diagnoses worse. Melody has been an active volunteer with our PTSD project over the past weeks and has brought a passion to the project. She believes that the power of heeling and seeking help doesn’t have to be in a pill form and with our research service members and sufferers can not just go through the motions of their life but, actually live a life enjoyable and actually worth living. As you will find out it doesn’t take a full military to do something incredible and change lives it takes drive determination and a quest for knowledge and resources which is what lead her to Sharry Edwards and the amazing research and work that Sharry is accomplishing everyday.
