War & Peace: Tom Voss, co-author of new book, recalls his recovery from moral injuries & severe stress after serving in US sniper platoon in Iraq. He walked across America & discovered meditation.

On the brink of suicide and alcoholism after trying therapy, medication and EMDR, and desperate for relief from the pain and guilt that haunted him, Tom Voss embarked on a 2,700-mile journey across America with a fellow US Army combat veteran. The journey was documented in the Emmy-nominated film, Almost Sunrise, directed by Michael Collins. At the end of their riveting journey, Voss realizes he is really just beginning his healing as he finds an unexpected antidote to moral injury – meditation. Tom is co-author with his sister Rebecca Anne Nguyen, of a new book, Where War Ends: A Combat Veteran's 2,700-Mile Journey to Heal - Recovering from PTSD and Moral Injury through Meditation (New World Library). --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/john-aidan-byrne0/support
