đ Remember that first bus ride to basic training?
The nerves. The unknown. The rush of adrenaline.
The military did everything it could to prepare you for what was aheadâphysically, mentally, and tactically. But hereâs what they didnât prepare you for: the effects on your soul.
Action. Combat. Loss. Trauma. These experiences leave wounds that no drill sergeant, no manual, no training day ever addressed. Wounds that can cut deep and follow you home long after the uniform is hung up.
At Take a Knee Counseling, we walk with veterans through those soul-level woundsâthe ones no one talked about, but you still carry. You donât have to live with the damage forever. Healing is possible.
