Talking Later: Veterans' Stories of Late-Life PTSD
Veterans Health Administration
20 episodes
6 months ago
This podcast is about Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD in later life; it is also about resilience as we age. PTSD is a mental health condition that can occur by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. While some of us may be familiar with the idea of PTSD as a result of combat or natural disasters or other traumatic events, many people are less familiar with the ways PTSD can resurface, or emerge for the first time, as we age. Each episode of “Talking Later” begins with a real Veteran’s story. They’ll share their ups and downs, and sometimes the ways that they coped – or found meaning – in what they’ve gone through. Then we’ll discuss what the Veteran’s story can teach us about PTSD in later life. We hope these stories and conversations will help people with PTSD, as well as those who care for them.

This podcast is brought to you by the VHA Office of Rural Health. The contents do not represent the views of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or the United States Government. The following episode may contain descriptions of violence. Please use discretion.

In this episode we hear the life story of a Vietnam Veteran who has found himself thinking more about his military experiences later in life after certain events occur – which he compares to a brick falling on his head. We discuss the relationship between avoidance and PTSD, the value of support groups, and how older Veterans may re-engage their memories.

  • VA National Center for PTSD: Understanding Avoidance
  • Beach ball analogy of PTSD symptoms
