BBQ and PTSD in Veterans | Matt Logie | Smokin' Sappers

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">BBQ has a power to connect people and heal relationships. It's no secret to anyone who's a part of the barbecue community. This unique ability of BBQ, among all of the different styles of food out there, has been recognised by Matt Logie from Smokin' Sappers BBQ Team. He uses barbeque, and his team to help rehabilitate current and veteran service men and women suffering from PTSD as a result of their service to our country. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is no joke. It can be brought on by any number of traumatic events, can be debilitating, and is prevalent in our defence force and first responder communities. Cognitive therapy is often prescribed, and this is where Matt and his team come in. They introduce veterans to low'n'slow BBQ and use the environment and of course the cooking processes to help reintroduce the PTSD sufferers to our mainstream community. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this full episode of the Smoking Hot Confessions BBQ Podcast, Matt and I get into:</span></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Matt's go to for feeding a group of hungry teenagers (4:18)</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Matt's first forays into competition BBQ (10:24)</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">What is PTSD?
