Special Forces Sergeant Major Josh Thompson walks us through his thought process on writing The Mask We Wear. An article concerning the ease at which Special Operations personnel hide their internal struggles from their families, friends, and even themselves. The Mask We Wear was a potent and helpful piece on mental health published by the Havok Journal. Now we hear the words and personal struggles of the man who penned this article.

This episode is part two of a two-part Suicide Prevention and Awareness month series. Check out Episode #48. When the Wolves Come Knocking for episode one!
