During and after a traumatic incident, it's common to experience fear. Our body's instinctual "fight-or-flight" response kicks in, initiating rapid changes to protect us from danger or help us avoid it altogether. While most individuals will naturally recover from the range of reactions following trauma, some may continue to struggle, leading to a diagnosis of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD can manifest in those who have undergone shocking, frightening, or hazardous events, reshaping the trajectory of their lives.

On this week's episode of the Shann Zeeman show, we welcome Linda Stanley, a retired Air Force Officer who served as a trauma nurse during her deployment to Iraq in 2006. Linda brings a wealth of experience, having previously worked in an emergency psychiatric clinic specializing in the assessment and treatment of PTSD. Currently, she serves as a psychiatric nurse practitioner at a residential treatment facility dedicated to aiding Veterans, particularly those returning from the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, on their path to recovery. Linda's unwavering commitment to assisting individuals grappling with PTSD is evident in her national speaking engagements on the subject, addressing various professional groups.
