This happened at a five-day group therapy program created by fellow Veterans and First Responders.

It also provides integrative tools that set the stage for healing and develop a community of support.
The Battle Within is for life’s real heroes. Those who gave their time, energy, and livelihoods for others. Veterans of the United States Armed Forces, Active-Duty military, Police Officers, Firefighters, Emergency Medical Technicians, frontline health-care workers. Anyone whose job does not allow them to say “no” when
called upon.
A special thanks to Justin for joining the podcast to explain the Battle Within program.
