After my deployment and my end of service I was having a hard time letting go, I tried everything, drugs, booze, and other forms of escape. This is the one thing that had a truly positive impact on my quality of life.

I'm currently an undergrad in Psychology, I am going to graduate school next year to pursue my P.H.D in clinical psychology. I am also currently pursuing my Yoga instructor certification, and working with therapy animals. I want to add as much to my treatment arsenal as possible everything helps.
