Mirage: Speculating on Speculative Fiction #38 Speculating on PTSD w/ Ken Scholes
0On episode 38 of Mirage, Ken Scholes, the award-winning, critically-acclaimed author of five novels and over fifty short stories joins me to discuss his very public experience with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD) and his participation in Dr. Eugene Lipov’s ground-breaking work using stellate ganglion blocks to treat — and possibly eventually cure — PTSD.

The “Chicago Blocks” are proving to be more effective and more affordable than the other treatments currently available." -- Ken
Dr. Lipov’s work at the Global PTSI Foundation and Pete Walker’s essays on C-PTSD are great places to start any research.
You can learn more about Ken’s experiences with both PTSD and the block in “Silence of the Chattering Head Monkeys,” a short video produced by McGonagle Productions.
