TONIGHT Join Steven & Warriors for Life (WFL) for "Our Inner Hyde!"

Join our Volunteer, Air Force Veteran, Peer Support Specialist, and Writer/Author Steven Bates TONIGHT for "Mid-Week Musings!" edition of Warriors for Life (WFL) Online, sponsored and presented by Victory for Veterans, Inc. (VFV).

We are asking everyone to share who we are and what support that Victory for Veterans, Inc. (VFV) is providing via WFL. If you know someone who is a veteran, first responder or a family member/caregiver, please ask them to join us for at least one meeting so they can learn more about what we do and how they can share their wisdom with others who may be able to learn from them.

TONIGHT's Topic:  "Our Inner Hyde!"

"On this date, over a hundred and fifteen years ago, 1908 to be precise,  the first horror movie was shown in Chicago on the silent screen.  That movie shook audiences to the core when it showed the inner demons of a scientist being manifested into physical form and wreaking havoc and mayhem.  That movie, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, not only brought horror to the big screen for the first time in history, but it brought attention to the theory that we all have inner demons that are just waiting to be released, whether by chemical or other means.

As veterans, PTSD and depression often give us our own sort of Mr Hyde personality, hiding just under the surface, poised to emerge when stress or triggers bring it forward.  By all means, we don't have the murderous, unlawful, raging monster of the movie variety of Mr. Hyde, but our Mr. Hyde does have its own dangers and hazards that come with its emergence.  What do we do to manage our Mr. Hyde?  What techniques can we utilize to temper the self-destructive behavior that our Mr. Hyde's coming out might manifest?"
