038: THE CYANIDE HANGOVER

WITH GUEST:  Jake Hutchinson, American Avalanche InstituteWHAT'S THE WHAT: On this episode, I talk to Jake Hutchinson, Marine Corps Veteran, Lead Avalanche Guide, K9 Trainer (and Steel Fabricator!) about the dangers of cult-like gyms on people with CPTSD. We have a mental health crisis in America. To top that off, we have a growing number of veterans and first responders who have been trained to push through their emotions at the expense of their well-being. When these folks find gyms that promise therapy, healing, or exorcizing demons through sweat, things can spiral out of control. These gyms are not an appropriate substitute for therapy. Exercise is maintenance, not a cure. And the folks that run these gyms and wellness centers are often self-serving predators who are not qualified to deal with complex psychological injuries. How do you get caught up in a gym like this? And what is the fallout after you leave? MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Jake Hutchinson on IGNo More Buffalo (Blog)Outlaw SteelVuori K9________________________________________________________SUPPORT THE SHOW!**Join my Patreon!
