Episode Synopsis

In this episode you'll hear from Rachel who is the mom to Emi who is very medically complex. She has numerous health issues and deals with chronic pain on a daily basis. She’s had over 30 surgeries and is constantly in and out of the hospital and traveling between Texas and Ohio to receive treatment. It’s probably no surprise that Rachel and her family deal with PTSD. I’m bringing her on today to talk about what PTSD looks like for each member of the family and how they cope with it together and individually. We’ll talk about things to lookout for, some coping strategies and what to do if you think you may be struggling as well.
