PTSD Must Get Physical

Episode Summary

In this episode, we explore why effective treatment for PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) must go beyond traditional talk therapy and include a strong physical component. Mental health and physical health are deeply connected, and addressing one without the other often leaves veterans and trauma survivors struggling to fully recover. We cover: How trauma is stored in the body and why movement-based therapies are essential. The science behind exercise, breathing, and somatic practices in calming the nervous system. Real-world examples of programs using physical training to complement psychological treatment. Why a holistic approach—combining mental health support with fitness, nutrition, and body awareness—offers stronger long-term outcomes. Practical ways individuals can start integrating physical activity into their healing journey. By the end, listeners will understand that true PTSD recovery isn’t only about changing thought patterns—it’s also about helping the body release stress, rebuild resilience, and restore balance. Healing, in this sense, is as much a physical process as it is a mental one. https://www.3cir.com/ptsd-treatment-must-get-physical-experts/
