Going through treatment was hard.
(laughs)
It was very hard.
You have to talk about your experiences.
You have to be committed to the homework
that they give you.
You have to be ready to get in the car
and go to the emergency room because
you're going to feel like your heart,
you're going to have a heart attack.
I mean, it was hard talking aout what I experienced
and what I felt,
and,
it is hard, but as time goes on
and you start progressing in your treatment,
it gets a little bit easier, you know?
I've never cried before and
this counselor, he had me crying because
he made me realize that
everything I had bottled up,
everything that I experience,
the losses that we had
in Iraq, in our hospital,
wasn't my fault and I was carrying that guilt
in me, so,
it gave me,
it gave me the reassurance that
everything I did while I was in Iraq
was for all the soldiers,
even if they passed or they came home.
