Healing the Brain w/ Jerri Sher and Sebastian "Sebby" Raspanti

Program host Chris Meek highlights the documentary Quiet Explosions:Healing the Brain on this week's episode of Next Steps Forward. Director and producer Jerri Sher, along with Sebastian Sebby Raspanti, a 9/11 survivor who is featured in the film, speak about how the documentary focuses on Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS) in veterans, athletes and civilians. The film was awarded the Most Important Film of the Year 2021 by TMIF and follows the stories of ten individuals grappling with TBI or PTS who found healing with the help of six different scientists and doctors often through alternative measures. The purpose of documenting the emotional roller coaster ride that those with TBI or PTS experience is to draw attention toward the need to help others cope and to highlight various treatment options that many might not be aware are available. For those struggling or who know someone struggling with TBI or PTS, as well as those seeking more information on the issue and listeners looking for a beacon of hope, you are encouraged to join their conversation to learn more about the documentary and hear Jerri and Sebby's stories and perspectives. Jerri and Sebby will inspire others not only to hold steadfast in finding reasons to live but also seek out opportunities each and every day to positively influence others.
