Ep. 87 - Healing through service | Sgt Q

<p>After coming back from deployment to Iraq, Aaron Quinonez struggled with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD, but felt unsupported by the Veterans Administration. One of the questions he would ask himself was “Who am I now past this trauma? I had to understand that the person I was before didn’t exist anymore,” he shared.</p> <p>At the height of his helplessness, the thought of suicide crossed his mind, but something unexpected happened on the day he planned to take his life. Sitting on the car, he would watch kids playing in the playground and kept waiting for them to leave: “I didn’t want to inflict trauma on them,” but then, he fell asleep, and when he woke up, everything had changed.</p> <p>His interview is a beautiful example of resilience, compassion, and a reminder that there is always a chance to turn one’s life around. Today, Sgt Q helps veterans heal through the QMissions program, which shows “veterans how to replace the battle scars of their minds with the joy of serving.”</p> <p>His book “<em>Healing thru Service</em>” offers a candid look into Sgt Q’s journey, ways to create positive triggers, and a step-by-step award-winning process of healing through mission service.</p> <p>Find Sargent Q:</p> <p><a href="https://sgtq.net/">https://sgtq.net/</a></p> <p>Buy his book:</p> <p><a href="https://amzn.to/37Cnich">https://amzn.to/37Cnich</a></p> <p>Watch this interview on my YouTube channel:</p> <p><a href="https://bit.ly/3OCle4p">https://bit.ly/3OCle4p</a></p> <p>Visit my page&nbsp;<a href="https://www.understandsuicide.com/">www.understandsuicide.com&nbsp;</a></p> <p>Enroll in my course&nbsp;"How to help suicidal people."&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/3klNZ7n">https://bit.ly/3klNZ7n</a></p> <p>Find my book "Understanding suicide: living with loss, paths to prevention:”&nbsp;<a href="https://amzn.to/2ANczuR">https://amzn.to/2ANczuR</a></p> <p>Read my blog on Psychology Today:&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/2Y9WdID">https://bit.ly/2Y9WdID</a></p> <p>Exchange experiences on my Facebook page:<a href="https:
