In this Fifth episode of The Broken Chat, Chris and Dwight discuss "Noel," the 10th episode of season 2 of the television show "The West Wing." A re-watch of this episode actually triggered a series of events that led Chris to learn about his own PTSD and seek the treatment that he spoke about on the main feed of this Podcast. Bradley Whitford's character, Josh, is dealing with the psychological repercussions of trauma following a shooting that left him in critical condition. Set in the weeks following this incident, he is being assessed by a trauma psychologist (Played by Adam Arkin) to see how these incidents may have affected him. We discuss the show, how these events relate to Chris' own experience with Complex PTSD, and other related issues. All with our trademarked tangental ramblings, because ADHD is truly with us always.
