Col. Grossman explicates his model of the Bulletproof Mind used to prepare mental health, military, and law enforcement professionals world-wide for working with combat-survivors. Col. Grossman also discusses how mental health professionals can help our nation’s warrior’s heal in the aftermath of combat (or in the aftermath of having taken a life). Finally, Col. Grossman outlines the strengths that Veterans and service people possess that mental health professionals should seek to make use of throughout the therapeutic process.
