Scott Geiselhart joins Kayla Lyon and Dave Denniston to tell us his heart wrenching story of his battle with PTSD & his overcoming it. He discusses how his friends and family noticed, how he didn't even realize he was dealing with PTSD (or what it even was) and how his final straw was plucked from him, sought out help and was given a new purpose and a new light. From an active firefighter to now an advocate for first responder mental health, his story is no less than miraculous, though haunting.
