Freddie De Los Santos: 我在阿富汗战争中受伤,经历了两年的康复过程,期间我经历了严重的创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)和自杀倾向。我失去了我的腿,也失去了我曾经的生活,包括我的兄弟、朋友和激情。在康复期间,我开始进行手摇自行车运动,并通过艺术疗愈来表达我的情感,释放内心的愤怒和创伤。Semper Fi基金会为我提供了必要的设备和资源,帮助我克服了精神和身体上的挑战。现在,我将代表美国参加残奥会,这对我来说是一种荣幸。我每天都坚持高强度的训练,同时我也会进行绘画和摄影,这些活动帮助我保持身心健康。我鼓励人们找到自己的激情和动力,即使在面对挑战时也要继续前进。人生的意义在于不断挑战自我,找到激励自己的动力。我将训练视为一种责任,为了那些没有回来的战友而努力。我每天都坚持高强度的训练,同时我也会进行绘画和摄影,这些活动帮助我保持身心健康。我鼓励人们表达自己的情感,不要害怕展现脆弱的一面。释放痛苦非常重要,如果需要帮助,请寻求帮助。 Shannon Bream: 本期节目采访了退伍军人兼残奥运动员弗雷迪·德洛斯桑托斯,他分享了在Semper Fi基金会的帮助下,从战争创伤中恢复并最终参加残奥会的经历。弗雷迪的经历突显了战争创伤对身心健康的影响,以及艺术疗愈和体育运动在康复过程中的重要作用。Semper Fi基金会为退伍军人提供了重要的支持和帮助,帮助他们重建生活。弗雷迪的故事鼓舞人心,他积极乐观的态度和坚持不懈的精神值得我们学习。
