Adam Magers, MA, LPC joins the podcast to discuss his work with veterans, first responders, and frontline medical professionals. He has experience both as a clinician and as a veteran receiving support, and he draws from both perspectives to share his expertise. This unique and candid discussion offers many engaging insights, and is likely to widen your perspective on the treatment of veterans.
Adam wrote the book, Odysseus & the Oar: Healing After War and Military Service (2024) which serves as a guide for veterans, their loved ones, and those who counsel them. In his book, Adam applies the myth of the Odyssey by Homer to the experiences of war veterans. He describes this as the ‘archetype of the warrior’s return’ and shares the ways this timeless story can illuminate paths through the pain of homecoming, in order to offer veterans a new perspective on the journey they have undergone during their service. In this episode, he shares information about how this can be applied to mental health treatment.
