BTM159 - Sebastian Junger (Replay) - Tribe and Veteran Connectedness

🎙️ New Episode Alert!
This week's PsychArmor podcast replays a previously recorded conversation with Sebastian Junger, esteemed journalist and author of "Tribe".
🔍 Key Topics Covered:
1️⃣ The Necessity of Community: Sebastian Junger's book "Tribe" delves into how the sense of community, purpose, and meaning found in tribal societies is critical for Veterans to successfully transition from service.
2️⃣ Veterans' Loss of Community: Veterans often experience a tight-knit community during their service, making the transition back to civilian life challenging due to the loss of that camaraderie.
3️⃣ Post-Deployment Transition Disorder: Junger notes that the struggle with a loss of community isn't limited to those who have experienced trauma or combat. He coins the term "post-deployment transition disorder" to address this issue.
4️⃣ The Human Need for Community: We are inherently wired to be with others, and fostering healthy group dynamics can significantly impact our mental well-being.
This episode also introduces Junger's concept of "Veteran Town Hall" events, providing veterans with a platform to share their experiences and reconnect with their communities. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on the importance of community and belonging in our society, applicable to veterans and civilians alike.
