When the traditional methods of coping with trauma don\u2019t work, what options do you have left? Brandon Kuehn, an Iraq War veteran, believes the best way to face a range of trauma is to reach for literal, physical summits\u2014and he isn\u2019t alone. Outdoor therapy is a growing field that is proving to help people like Brandon who struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder. Constant Thought is an intimate portrayal of Brandon and his attempt to walk the 2,650 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail<\/a>. It also underscores how stress, of any kind, can be soothed by both using and preserving the lands Brandon fought to protect.<\/p>\n
