Today on the podcast we change it up a bit and I speak with Tyler Skluzacek, a college student, who developed an app to help veterans--specifically his father!--manage the symptoms of PTSD.I initially read about Tyler online and knew I just had to invite him on the podcast. This is an inspiring story of a young guy helping individuals who are suffering. It’s exactly the kind of story I want to highlight on this podcast.I hope you enjoy the interview.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-trauma-therapist-podcast-with-guy-macpherson-phd-inspiring-interviews-with-thought-leaders-in-the-field-of-trauma/exclusive-contentBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-trauma-therapist--5739761/support.
