96-Using Augmented Reality to Heal PTSD with Dr. Arash Javanbakht

In this episode of the First Responder Wellness Podcast, Conrad Weaver has a conversation with Dr. Arash Javanbakht, a leading psychiatrist and trauma researcher. Dr. Javanbakht explains the neurological and emotional roots of trauma and PTSD, particularly among first responders, and shares how cutting-edge augmented reality technology is offering real hope for healing. From redefining fear to walking alongside patients through digital recreations of triggering scenarios, Dr. Javanbakht’s work is revolutionizing trauma care.

Listeners will walk away with a better understanding of what trauma truly is, why it impacts people differently, and why recovery is not only possible—but probable.
