#12 - How Starting Therapy Saved Another Man's Life.
About this episode
In this episode, we delve into the impact of therapy on overcoming personal demons and preventing suicide.
I recount my own journey with survivor's guilt after losing a fellow Marine in Afghanistan, and how therapy helped me find peace and purpose.
More than a personal story, it's a call to combat the veteran suicide epidemic. A crucial moment shared is when a veteran, inspired by my openness about therapy, decided to seek help instead of ending his life.
This story underscores the life-saving power of sharing our struggles and the critical importance of reaching out for help—not just for ourselves, but for others who may be silently suffering.
This is the VetRise Podcast w/ Juan Perez, hosted by Marine Corps Scout Sniper Veteran, founder, owner, public speaker, and content creator Juan Perez.
On this podcast, our goal is to make success after service accessible to every veteran.
You'll learn about the many failures and lessons Juan has learned on his path from service to society.
Thank you for your time.
