PTSD & Rheumatoid Arthritis: the mind/body connection

My second video.

Here I describe how my job as a Canada Border Services Officer lead to my PTSD then eventually to my Rheumatoid Arthritis. I discuss the mind/body connection and how thoughts can manifest into physical symptoms. I speak about listening to your body and the need to master your thoughts in order to avoid disaster. Love yourself. Keep yourself safe. We are all in this together! Hang in there cause it gets much better!!!! xo

My First Video Ever!!!

An introduction to me and what this progect is all about.

This is my introductory video to my Youtube page. It was recorded in October 2016...but it took me a while to put this project together.  I am a former Canada Border Services Agency Officer and I developed PTSD in 2012 due to work related traumas. My PTSD eventually turned into Rheumatoid Arthritis. In Sept 2016 a fellow CBSA Officer took his life at the airport while on duty. It inspired me to start speaking out about workplace stress, mental health awareness and the dangers of not listening to your body. These are the first of many videos made to inspire, educate provide hope to anyone out there battling in the dark. You are not alone. We are all in this together. xo
