From Combat Trauma to Healing: A Green Beret’s Story of Psychedelic Recovery
Manage episode 500936922 series 3579510
In this episode of Broken Brains, Bruce Parkman talks with retired Green Beret Pat Flatley, who shares his journey through traumatic brain injury, PTSD, and the shortcomings of traditional treatment. After years of pain, anger, and depression with little help from the VA, Pat found a breakthrough through psychedelic-assisted therapy with Ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT, supported by VETS.org.
These treatments helped him process trauma, reduce symptoms, and reconnect with his family in ways that pharmaceuticals never could. Today, Pat advocates for alternative therapies and greater awareness of repetitive brain trauma, offering hope and a path to healing for fellow veterans.
