Hope and Healing for PTSD, how the Stellate Ganglion Block helps heal trauma from its core (with Dr. Michael Louwers)
Q: What would you tell someone about the effectiveness of SGB for PTSD?
Three out of four patients show a positive, clinically meaningful response, with data aligning to broader clinical literature, though longer and larger studies are still needed to reduce bias and confirm durability.
Confronting moral injury: How trauma programs the mind and how to break free with Matthew McDonell
Q: How does your program address moral injury and the root traumas from childhood?
We begin with education on developmental trauma and moral injury, assess ACEs, and then run a four-day camp where we work in a group setting, combining therapeutic conversations with real-life activities like golf to repair relationships and reframe identity away from chaos toward calm and purpose.
Confronting moral injury: How trauma programs the mind and how to break free with Matthew McDonell
Q: Matt, tell us about yourself and how Next 18 started.
I'm Matt McDonald. I served in the Army as an airborne infantryman, medically retired in 2015, and after a period of rebuilding with work and study, I started Next 18 in 2021 to bring veterans and first responders together through golf-based experiences, focusing on root causes of trauma and developing a sustainable recovery ecosystem.
Target to Zero: Clearing out PTSD in minutes, not years, with Scarlett Williams
Q: How do you scale this within organizations and ensure leadership buys in and ongoing usage?
By integrating training across staff, embedding peer support, and creating organizational culture changes so that the tool becomes routine rather than a one-off workshop.
Target to Zero: Clearing out PTSD in minutes, not years, with Scarlett Williams
Q: What kinds of real-world examples illustrate the speed and effectiveness of Target 2 Zero?
Stories include a veteran clearing a long-standing trauma in 15 minutes and a retired Navy SEAL whose road-driving anxiety improved dramatically after a short session.
