Captain Casey Ross was something . If

00:02.260 --> 00:04.482
you need psychological health support ,

00:04.482 --> 00:06.720
reach out with a counselor , finding

00:06.720 --> 00:08.609
the right counselor and the right

00:08.609 --> 00:10.850
therapy for me . It wasn't easy . I was

00:10.850 --> 00:12.961
so frustrated when I wasn't instantly

00:12.961 --> 00:15.128
better after one appointment . Finding

00:15.128 --> 00:17.294
the right fit can take time . You have

00:17.294 --> 00:19.239
to give yourself some grace to get

00:19.239 --> 00:21.239
through treatment . It's gonna take

00:21.239 --> 00:23.430
work . I'd be lying if I said there

00:23.430 --> 00:25.652
weren't times where I wanted to give up

00:25.652 --> 00:27.597
on treatment times I thought about

00:27.597 --> 00:29.652
walking away from everything , but I

00:29.652 --> 00:31.874
knew that the only path to happiness at

00:31.874 --> 00:33.819
home and in my career was one that

00:33.819 --> 00:35.930
involved overcoming the trauma that I

00:35.930 --> 00:38.152
had experienced . You have to be honest

00:38.152 --> 00:38.020
with where you are and what you're

00:38.020 --> 00:40.076
going through . Keep reaching out to

00:40.076 --> 00:42.170
make it work , find yourself your

00:42.170 --> 00:44.170
purpose . What's going to drive you

00:44.170 --> 00:46.337
forward ? The only person that's going

00:46.337 --> 00:48.392
to fight for your career , your life

00:48.392 --> 00:50.503
and your happiness is you always know

00:50.503 --> 00:52.614
that strength comes from reaching out

00:52.614 --> 00:54.614
to others . Don't go it alone visit
