I’m so glad to be able to bring this conversation with a new friend to you today. Dr. Lee Warren, a neurosurgeon, is here to talk about his own journey through PTSD. We’ll also talk about why you can’t selectively numb your pain, breaking generational trauma, and why “your truth” will never heal your trauma.

W. LEE WARREN, M.D. is a brain surgeon, inventor, Iraq War veteran, and author of I’ve Seen the End of You: A Neurosurgeon’s Look at Faith, Doubt, and the Things We Think We Know. His last book, No Place to Hide, was named to the 2015 U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff’s Recommended Reading List.
