Steve and Matt continue sharing your stories on Jiu-Jitsu and mental health. This week we share some very raw and personal stories about depression, PTSD, coping with loss, and suicidal thoughts. This episode does get heavy at times. We thank our listeners for sharing these stories, which couldn't have been easy.
Note that we advocate Jiu-Jitsu as a SUPPLEMENT to therapy, NOT a replacement. If you need help - and we all do at times - please seek out professional and medical expertise.
