NEW EPISODE of my podcast Journey to the Positive Path. My guest is Shawn O'Connor, the founder of Reflections Lifestyle Center who shares about their approach to PTSD and other mental health disorders.

PTSD is treatable and there IS hope.

PTSD can affect far more than veterans or first responders. Trauma can come from violence, abuse, neglect, bullying, chronic stress, sexual assault, and other experiences — and its effects can show up in relationships, work, sleep, substance use, anxiety, depression, and everyday life.

In this episode, Positive Path owner Sari Dangler sits down with Shawn O’Connor, Executive Chairman of Reflections Lifestyle Center, for an important conversation about post-traumatic stress disorder, trauma, and the treatment options available for people who need more support than traditional weekly therapy.

Sean also shares his own experience as a survivor of sexual assault and how his personal treatment journey inspired him to create a mental health program designed to fill gaps he saw in the system.

Together, they discuss the different forms trauma can take, why PTSD often occurs alongside depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders, and treatment approaches including EMDR, DBT, cognitive processing therapy, and individualized trauma-focused care.

They also break down Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), how these programs allow many people to continue living at home and even working while receiving treatment, and why finding the right level of care can make such a difference.

Most importantly, this conversation offers a reminder for anyone struggling with trauma — or watching someone they love struggle — that PTSD is treatable and help is available.
