I\u2019ve been to therapy a few times over the years when dealing with tragedies in my life and the Marine Corps and the thing therapy helped me realize immediately is that the things that were bothering me were perfectly normal for them to bother me.\xa0 Once I realized that, it made everything much easier to deal with. Now we all know that being in the military is pretty much a traumatic experience in and of itself, but I want to make sure you understand this point, therapy isn\u2019t just for those who\u2019ve experienced major trauma. Therapy is helpful for learning positive coping skills and how to set boundaries; it empowers you to be the best version of yourself.\n\nGive online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/VOTM and get on your way to being your best self.\n\n\xa0\nWant to be our next guest?
