On the 94th episode of the Jiu-Jitsu Outlet podcast, I speak with Matt Bernard about how Jiu-Jitsu training has impacted his mental health and life off the mats.
In this episode, Matt shares about his experience as a professional therapist and how his martial arts journey has helped his career.
We talk about the impacts of martial arts on a person's mental health and what can happen in a person's life if they do not have a positive outlet. We also discuss faith and spirituality and give our take on what God might be using Jiu-Jitsu to achieve in the world.
In this episode, Matt helps us understand how to take control of our lives and improve our mental health using strategies that are known to work.
This is an episode you do NOT want to miss.
