“As an experienced first responder, I focus on mental health advocacy for my peers in the field. With almost ten years of service, I am honored to be an Erase PTSD Now scholarship recipient and a DSR SGB patient. Balancing my role as a wife to a Marine Corps veteran and mother of two, I strive to promote mental health awareness.”

“(DSR/SGB) acts as an acceleration to healing. You can continue with other healing types such as therapy, 12 steps, life coaching, meditation, exercise, and other mental health solutions. SGB is a game-changer. If you treat the physical first, the thoughts are not as powerful, and it allows you to heal. It is so personal for each person, yet you have no downside.”

“I am extremely passionate about working with the first responder population (AKA a population with high rates of PTSD and trauma exposure) and I really love the mission of Erase PTSD Now when it comes to how you treat and approach PTSD, as well as how the organization advocates for using PTSI instead of PTSD to help reduce stigma!!”

After learning about Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) I dove deep into the research and outcomes. The overwhelmingly positive results were impossible to ignore, and I became excited about how medical interventions can transform mental health. The simple yet groundbreaking idea of interrupting the fight-or-flight response — with a treatment safely used for over a century — solidified my interest. I discovered Erase PTSD Now through a Doctoral Intern working with my department and felt compelled to join their mission as an ambassador.

“My mom received SGB for chronic pain from sports injuries after her friend had a life altering experience with SGB for anxiety, all medication and side effects free.
