11 Episode - The Hidden Cost of War: When a Soldier’s Trauma Creates Fallout in the Family

War doesn’t end when the soldier comes home.

It lives on—expressed in the body and experienced by every person around them.

When soldiers return, their families face a new reality: spouses navigating intense mood swings, emotional shutdowns, flashbacks, and night terrors; children shaped by an environment marked by trauma—sometimes distant, sometimes explosive—and often struggling with their own emotional challenges as a result.

The pain and stress don’t stay with the veteran alone—it ripples through the household, emotionally affecting generations to come.

In this episode of The Robert Gene Experience, cohost Crystal Derksen joins behavioral engineer and trauma expert Robert Gene—creator of eutaptics® FasterEFT™—to uncover the deeper realities of war, trauma, and healing.

Robert has helped hundreds of thousands of veterans and civilians alike transform their lives by changing how the brain responds to past events.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

The mechanics of PTSD and how it affects the brain

The coping mechanisms veterans turn to—like addiction—and what’s really happening inside their brain

How trauma shapes not only veterans but also their families and future generations

Powerful stories of veterans and families who found peace after years of suffering

Learn how you or your loved ones can reclaim peace—no matter what you’ve been through.
