Your Digital Storytelling Project
Work with Trauma and Digital Storytelling/Therapeutic Filmmaking
In this radio interview, (around memorial day)
I discuss the collective book research results from the acadenic reference book Video and Filmmaking as Psychotherapy:Research and Practice, (now researched with and cited in a clinical trial in the Frontiers in Psychology study from October 2018 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2018.01954/full https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2018.01954)
I also discuss Your Digital Storytelling Project as well as my clinical experience with addictions, PTSD, and now Virtual reality as they apply to the veteran and active duty population. Benjamin Patton then has a chance to discuss his I was There Non Profit Program.
“As this Memorial Day approaches we will talk with the grandson of one of America’s most famous Generals. This week on Friends Talking Faith with The Three Wise Guys we’ll discuss faith, combat veterans with PTSD, and therapy that’s really working. “I WAS THERE film workshop” is the program of the Patton Veterans Project. We will talk with the Executive Director, Mr. Benjamin Patton – he’s the grandson of Gen. George Patton. His mission is not on the battlefield but in the film studio where he seeks to combine the therapeutic value of narrative with the power of digital media to help veterans and military families heal from post traumatic and other service-related stress. We will also talk with Dr. Joshua Cohen about his research regarding this unique form of therapy and emotional healing. Our conversation – as Memorial Day approaches – with Mr. Benjamin Patton (pictured here) and Dr. Joshua Cohen about “therapy through film-making.” — listen now to this episode of Friends Talking Faith.
