After listening, I think there is a further meaning to the plot of this book. How his team somewhat sticks together could help them and tell them there is meaning to staying together. These sorts of things can help soldiers heal. Odysseus can be struggling with something and they will connect it to themselves and it can help them recover as well. I think the book can be helpful for other things too, it also shows that there is still celebration after traumatic events. It could even the being loss. It offers them a chance to maybe feel not as alone as they are "trained" o stick together. People may not give them chances to explain or anything like that and learning how to deal with that.
Although The Odyssey is from a long time ago, everyone can relate it to there own life, suggesting, that veterans can benefit psychological from reading this book. If the veterans weren't benefiting from this book then, this man would stop using it as a way to help PTSD.
While listening to the podcast, I thought that it was great how he treats the men with mental injuries just like they had physical injuries. This is cool to hear that he does this because they can be in just as bad of a spot as someone with a physical injury. The men in the war are sometimes treated as non-human, yet they are human. When they return, they can have a lot of mental problems, just like the physical problems. Sometimes, they just need to talk through the pain.
the people were trying to keep people together and to keep them healthy mentally. story help recovery and help them trying to became injured in a war and how the are mentally scared. for all the things that make the go together and make them to help people out and how the struggles of people and the be trail of them all.the things that people will never understand what they go through and trying to get the things that they are trying to keep them from a cretin way.
The psychiatrist uses the Odyssey to allow veterans to be able to relate to other people. Odysseus has been through different monsters, and got through it alive. That could maybe make veterans feel better about what they've gone through. Odysseus says that people who have a lot of things, like money, wouldn't get what he went through. That could maybe help the veterans to feel like they are not alone, because Veterans come home to families, and sometimes they get paid. But people who have more than him, probably wouldn't decide to go into war, and wouldn't have lost companions. Maybe the Odyssey could help the veterans find some closure in why things went the way they did.
In the book, Odysseus takes men with him on the journey to help him and to work together with. This is just like how the man says war veterans need to live and recover together so they can rely on each other. It’s important to be with people who understand what you’ve been through so they can think about how you feel. War is just like the journey that Odysseus went on too. You go a long way from home and fight and work hard. You have hardships and losses, and then you have to go back home. I think it is valuable to teach veterans about the Odyssey.
Listening to stories of other people and their hardships can help get your mind off of what happening to you and can be calming. After listening to the "Counseling And The Use Of "The Odyssey?"", it interested me that the story calmed the vets, especially since the text is rather morbid. I think that listening to stories of other people hardships can calm other people, as shown in this audio. In the book, his men seem to stick together and i think that can give the soldiers hope. If theres a chance that they could do it, Why cant the vets?
I think that there is sort of a hidden or secret meaning to the book. Up front it looks like the adventurers of this hero but if you look deeper its more about struggles that one faces through out the their lives.

Mental heath is crucial to keep a group together and in line with each other. "It's not rocket science." Odysseus did not focus on his crew of the boat or anything he even let six die knowingly. The world today is more forgiving then in the world/time period of the odyssey. It seems like it was kinda life or death and everyone was a servant to someone. In the odyssey it would be harder to live then current day.
After listening to the audio, I think the Odyssey can have a lot of influence depending on the audience. Some people may be able to relate to the Odyssey directly with the realism about combat, when Odysseus goes through a lot of conflict and combat. Certain people also believe that their mind may be injured rather than physical injuries, and that some people don't like to classify their condition as post traumatic stress. Odysseus struggles with certain things that could relate to anyone in a good or bad way. There are many choices that he had to decide on and we can all relate with making tough or undesirable decisions. It seems like the Odyssey is quite timeless and directed towards almost any audience. Overall, anyone can relate to the Odyssey depending on their experience and background.
Even though the myth of Odyssey was very long ago, the modern day wars seem a lot like that same way as the myth of Odyssey suggesting war has not changed in the past 1000 or more years. People of modern times liked to hear about the stories of Achilles and Odysseus and that they eat it up. People like it because they can relate and it is a great story of men coming back after a war they won that had many challenges. It seems much like modern wars.
"Psychiatrist Counsels Vets With Odyssey Audio" correctly portrays Odysseus’ struggles because Odysseus has been through many battles and hardship along his journey, much like war. The Odyssey shows his struggle against the gods and goddesses and then when he gets home he has a struggle with the civilians as he tries to get them to understand what he has been through. This is much like what happens with veterans because they fight in war and see unimaginable things but when they get back there is ignorance towards what is really going on.
After listening to the Psychiatrist Counsels Vets With Odyssey Audio, there are many things from the audio clip that relates to the “The Odyssey,” such as both Odysseus and the veteran realize that they can not truly explain to people what they went through. In the audio, it is explained that both Odysseus and the veteran think, how can people understand what they have been through? Similarly, in the audio, it explains that the Civilian wasn’t ready to listen. He was telling Odysseus what his experience meant. This relates to both the book, and what the veteran experienced.
Although The Odyssey is about Greek Mythology, it can relate to veterans and other things like that, suggesting there is a deeper meaning to the story. The books help veterans to cope and heal from what happened while at war, which is so cool to me. I can’t relate very well to the books, but the fact that these veterans can relate to make them feel better and connect, is so great. Depending on why you are reading the book, it depends on how you interpret it. To me it isn’t super relatable, however, to the veterans is is relatable, the struggles and journey Odysseus went on is similar to the things they did while at war. This could help them feel like somebody understands and they might not feel as alone, which could help their mental state.
After listening to these podcasts, I think that there is a deeper or unknown meaning to the book. In today's society people are a lot more forgiving and understanding then they were when odyssey was created. Knowing about other peoples inner struggles and hardships makes other peoples live seem easier and more bearable, kinda like it said in the story and podcast.
Being mentally stable is what keeps people together and trustful but when this is lost groups can fall apart. People also can be ruined and hurt because of someone lacking mental stability. We today are more accepting than when the odyssey is told and placed. This time was more cruel there was nothing known as mental stability you where either mad or sane. This would cause a multitude of issues today if people thought there was only two ways.
That this can give the vets, enjoyment and be able to relate to the audio on there hardships. Give them important skills like teamwork because of how the guys took out the Cyclopse. The audio can give them inspiration to be heroic and have faith even in combat.
After listening to the Psychiatrist Counsels Vets With Odyssey Audio, I’m able to relate the book The Odyssey to many experiences in our lives. The podcast shows how veterans/civilians battle through challenges and achievements throughout their lives. The books in The Odyssey shows how Odysseus struggles with different emotional/physical challenges, relating to some of the challenges vets have to face throughout their lives. People like Odysseus and Veterans have to make many decisions. For example, Odysseus and the Veterans had to choose between life or death. Therefore, the stories can relate to so many people's lives.
This shows how the story could relate to people with ptsd and how it calms them down in a way. And they have all of these have a way to check out of all of the bad stuff that happens. The guy talking was saying how can normal people understand what it's like out there and how people could understand whats going on. And hes right the only way they understand is through entertainment.
As Odysseus takes his journey across sea he is faced with many frightful events. The psychiatrist shows how when people going into a fearful war most believe it builds and strengthens a person up in the end. In reality it can break them down like it tends to do for Odysseus till the end. Another connection the psychiatrist makes is how Chapter 8 shows Odysseus tears up when the poet is performing and the King assumes what had happened other than have Odysseus reply to the king. He connects this with people returning from War and having people assume why they were sad not just ask and let the person reply. The psychiatrist relates the book to our everyday life.
