S2. Ep. 2 The Truth About Trauma, Service, and the Way Forward

Hosts and PTSI Resilience Trainers John Salerno and Samantha Horwitz talk with Doug White, veteran, retired first responder, and author on @A Badge of Honor TV.

Doug spent over three decades serving in the military and in law enforcement. He witnessed firsthand the toll that trauma can take on a person’s brain, body, and spirit. He knows how it feels to hit the absolute bottom—alone, late at night, hidden away behind a school, his hand on his pistol, contemplating a choice he could not take back.

What saved Doug was grace, the unwavering love of his wife, and her deep faith in them as a couple, and God. He was pulled from the edge, and it completely changed his course. Doug realized that we are not meant to keep reliving our past pain. Instead, we can find purpose and growth in moving beyond it.

Doug is the founder of Tell This Story LLC,. He is  committed to helping veterans, first responders, and their families navigate that same challenging path. We don’t have to stay stuck. We can turn darkness into a source of strength, resilience, and transformation.

Doug wrote Hiding in Plain Sight: The Truth About Trauma, Service, and The Way Forward to share not just his  journey, but to provide a platform for others to use their voices. Find out more at https://dougwhiteofficial.com/
