‘Nobody wants to know, it doesn’t matter, it’s too hard to talk about and I don’t want to talk about those times.’ Actually yes, people do want to know, it most certainly matters, and we have found when a sympathetic pair of ex-servicemen break the ice in the discussion with the veteran, they find they do want to talk – the process is cathartic for the veteran and liberating in the same way a counsellor releases a pent-up memory. It can help the veteran and their closest family members to talk in ways they previously been unable to find.
