In this episode we hear the life story of a Vietnam Veteran who is thinking more about his military experiences as he ages. He mentions memories of rats in Vietnam and also explains that he found himself overwhelmed when recently bringing pants to a tailor who was Vietnamese. After hearing the Veteran’s story we discuss life review, resilience, later-adulthood trauma reengagement, and posttraumatic stress disorder or PTSD. We also discuss the role of family and mental health care in healing.
