Hi, I'm Dr. Daniel Aeman.

I'm here with my beautiful wife, Tana.

We are so excited to be able to share this

moment with you of change your brain, change your life. So today we're going to

teach you about the connection between post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD, and traumatic brain injury or TBI.

I'm so excited to tell you that our research department just got a landmark paper accepted for publication and brain imaging and behavior,

really wonderful scientific journal,

where we can distinguish between people who've had emotional trauma versus whose brains have been physically traumatized

nearly 94% of the time. So I thought this was so interesting. So when we first met you scanned me two weeks. A lot of people have heard the story now. So he said before he got really serious with anybody and we got along really well. He said he wanted to see my brain naked before he saw any other part of me naked so a little

tidbit there but when he scanned me he said wow you have this diamond shaped pattern in your

brain which means there's been some trauma, some emotional trauma.

And I'm like, no, I've had no emotional trauma because I like have this very tough facade.

He's like, really?

And he does this little psychiatrist thing, I'm like, don't shrink me.

So, but what, as he started talking to me about my history, my childhood, I was amazed. It was very fascinating to me that that connection, he could see that pattern in my brain from unresolved childhood issues

which now he never lets me live down. I'm not like that trust me. But what we saw in our patients who have...

I was not a patient here, that's not how we met.

Who have post-traumatic stress disorder.
