Episode 78: 'From Battlefield to Breaking Point: Beyond PTSD' with Sgt Eric Donoho (Ret)

This week's episode is powerful.... you'll meet Retired U.S. Army Sergeant Eric Donoho: combat veteran, Purple Heart, suicide survivor. Eric has seen the worst of war. He did the PTSD work—and still felt stuck. In this raw conversation, he explains the piece most men miss: moral injury—a soul-level wound of guilt and shame that standard PTSD tools often don’t touch. He shares how faith and service helped him climb out, and how you can spot moral injury in yourself or someone you love.What we coverThe horrors of combat and life after warWhy PTSD didn’t tell Eric’s whole storyMoral injury vs. PTSD (fear vs. shame/guilt) in plain languageEric’s suicide-survivor testimony—and what finally moved the needleFaith, meaning, and service as a path forwardHow first responders, healthcare workers, and pastors face this tooHow to host a free moral injury workshop in your cityIf you’re in crisis: Call/Text 988 (Veterans press 1).
