An expedition above the Arctic Circle strengthens coping skills in combat veterans.
The documentary Operation Arctic Cure shows the positives of wilderness experience for veterans with PTSD.
In preparation for the expedition, Woodruff interviewed psychologists Dacher Keltner and Craig L. Anderson, both of the University of California, Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center at the time, on the positive effects that a challenging wilderness experience may have on people experiencing-related disorders.
Each day posed new challenges. One veteran, an amputee, began to suffer pain and cramps in her leg near the location of her amputated foot. The other veterans rallied around her, offering support by carrying her load and pulling her on a sled when the pain was too much for her to bear. Together, they overcame this and other difficulties to reach their goal of standing at the foot of Mount Thor.
