In this episode of Bullets n Bourbon, host Matt Gundlach, joined by guest co-host Brittany Long, takes a break from his usual podcasting schedule to welcome Adam Magers, author of Odysseus and the Oar. A U.S. Army combat veteran and psychotherapist, Adam delves into his book, which explores the ancient parallels between the journeys of warriors like Odysseus and modern-day soldiers returning from combat. Adam shares his motivation behind writing the book as a tool to assist veterans with the transition back to civilian life, drawing from Greek mythology. They discuss the psychological challenges veterans face when seeking therapy, particularly the difficulty many experience in trusting therapists unfamiliar with the unique struggles of combat vets. Adam also provides insights on how therapists can build better rapport with veterans by connecting on shared cultural and literary touchstones, making therapy a more relatable and impactful experience.
