Veterans' Battle Against Pain and Addiction: Insights from Experts Dustin and Kerry Brockberg
“The probably more convoluted answer is it almost lays back into more of how each veteran uniquely understands or how they perceive how to heal, and that really becomes the almost determining factor in not only whether or not they have services, but how they choose to engage in those services.”
What happens when two dedicated psychologists join forces to tackle the unique challenges faced by veterans? In this episode of Behavioral Health Integration, host Jacob Minnig sits down with Dustin Brockberg and Kerry Brockberg, clinical psychologists who have made it their mission to help veterans struggling with pain and addiction. They share their motivations for entering the mental health field and their experiences writing their book, 'End Your Covert Mission: A Veteran's Guide to Fighting Pain and Addiction'.
The conversation dives into the complexities of reintegrating into civilian life after military service, shedding light on the neurobiology of pain and the impact of shame and stigma on those suffering. Dustin and Kerry discuss how psychology plays a crucial role in treating pain and addiction, emphasizing the need for more targeted research in this area. Throughout the episode, they highlight the importance of truly listening to veterans' voices and understanding their unique perspectives on healing.
Whether you're a mental health professional, a veteran, or someone interested in learning more about these critical issues, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in to discover how you can better support veterans on their journey to recovery.
