Turn 60 this week!!! Been a helluva year of personal and mental growth. SGB saved me and finally turned down the "PTSD noise" and brought "light to my darkness" Truly looking forward to this milestone and line in the sand for new beginnings.

Two weeks after SGB treatment, the crushing weight of PTSD, anxiety and hypervigilance has quieted. For the first time in nearly 60 years, I feel truly calm. It is not a miracle or a cure, but it may offer hope. Please research it.

I want to sincerely thank Dr. John McDonald and nurses Tamara Wells and Val McIlquham at the RESET Clinic in Ottawa for what I can only describe as a life-changing experience through their SGB — Stellate Ganglion Block — treatment for PTSD.

For years, I have lived with what I call the “PTSD noise” in my head. The constant hypervigilance. The tension. The darkness. The feeling that my nervous system simply didn't know how to shut off.

Today, that noise is quiet.

For the first time in years, I am experiencing a sense of inner peace, calm, happiness, joy and, perhaps most importantly, hope.

It is difficult to put into words what that feels like.

It almost feels as though I am learning how to experience life all over again — except instead of seeing everything through the darkness of PTSD, I am beginning to see the world through rose-coloured glasses.

I know I am still very early in this journey. I am told I may continue to notice changes and improvements over the coming weeks, and I am incredibly excited — and grateful — to see where this road takes me.

SGB is not a magic answer, nor will everyone's experience necessarily be the same as mine. I have also spent years doing the difficult work of therapy and healing. But for me, something profound has changed.

Dr. McDonald, Tamara and Val — thank you from the bottom of my heart. What you gave me was more than a medical procedure.

You gave me hope that life can feel different.

And after years of darkness, that means more than I can possibly express.

If you are suffering from PTSD and want to know more about my experience with SGB, please message me privately. I would be honoured to share my journey with you.

If telling my story helps even one person discover another possible path toward healing, then sharing it will have been worth it.

Here is a video of my journey. My hopes are to provide information and my experience for others suffering with PTSD to give them knowledge and options like my dear highschool friend Tuula Jalasjaa did for me 2 years ago.

I NEED YOUR HELP.

I'm working on what I believe may become the most meaningful book I've ever written.
Its title is When They Speak Your Name: Who Will Have Benefited Because You Lived?
At the heart of the book is one simple but profound question:
Who will have benefited because you lived?
To help shape this project, I've created a short Legacy Reflection Survey, and I'd be honoured if you would take 5–10 minutes to share your thoughts.
Your experiences, insights, and reflections will help ensure that this book represents the voices of real people from all walks of life.
Please complete the survey here:
👉 https://riseupandexcel.ca/blog/f/help-wanted-legacy-reflection-survey
If this message resonates with you, I'd truly appreciate it if you would also share this post. The more perspectives we gather, the more meaningful this book can become.
Thank you for helping me create something that I hope will inspire others for years to come.

Two years ago, PTSD brought me to my knees.

There was a time I looked in the mirror and didn't recognize the man staring back at me. I had climbed to 254 pounds, but the weight I carried wasn't measured on a scale. It was the weight of trauma, grief, hopelessness, and darkness. There were days I truly believed I had lost myself.

Today, I'm 220 pounds. (Thanks, F45 Training LaSalle )

The number is meaningful, but it isn't what I'm most proud of.

What matters most is that I can finally see the light again.

Not because the road has been easy, but because I refused to stop walking. One step. One workout. One conversation. One therapy session. One act of faith at a time. Healing isn't linear, but every step forward is still progress.

None of this would have been possible without the incredible people who refused to let me fight alone.

To my wife, my family, my friends, Dr. Wuerch, my psychologist and every person who stood beside me when I couldn't stand on my own... thank you. You picked me up when I fell. You believed in me when I struggled to believe in myself. You reminded me that even in our darkest moments, hope still exists, and I'm on the mend.

You know who you are.

From the bottom of my heart...

Thank you. I appreciate you more than words can ever express.

This journey has taught me something I'll never forget:

Adversity built me. Growth calls me forward.

To those still suffering, it's okay not to be okay!! And, I'm here if you need me or my roadmap out of the darkness.

I Can. I Must. I Will. ❤️

If you are friends with me, you should be aware of my sentiments regarding Veterans so I am bringing it up. I am fairly confident that I already know two individuals who will assist, but I am hopeful that I will receive more responses, as this is a pressing concern.

Twenty-two Veterans succumb to their struggles daily. May I request that two friends or family members copy and repost this message?

Someone's life may depend on it. ❤️‍🩹

Call:

Veterans Crisis Line
Dial 988 then press 1
OR
Veteran's Hotline
800-273-8255

I am asking for just two individuals to respond with 'done'

PS - I'm extending this to First Responders, Fire Fighters, Correctional and Police officers.

Posted at the request of my friend.

Please speak to a friend or a professional who will listen if you feel the wall closing in...
