This week is an episode that so many people need to hear, my guest has served the United States Army for 24 years, with a majority of that time as a Green Beret. He has seen his share of war with multiple combat deployments, but this guest’s trauma started way back in childhood where he was the victim of abuse for almost a decade, even driving him to attempt suicide at the age of 12. My guest moved on to college and the Army thinking it would give his life purpose, only finding that he could not completely shake the demons or images from his past. There were more suicide attempts and more silent suffering, until he broke free from the past so that he could concentrate on the present and his future with his wife and children. He has undergone some incredible treatments that have given him a completely new look at life and this week he is sharing his story of Trauma to Triumph. It is my great honor to introduce you to Trevor Beaman....
