In this compilation episode, we hear from special forces veterans Chris Craighead, DJ Shipley, Jay Morton, and Billy Billingham as they delve deep into their personal battles with mental health, ego, and life after the military. Each speaker provides a raw, unfiltered perspective on topics such as loneliness in struggle, the cost of mental health, and the pressures of returning to civilian life after combat.
Chris Craighead shares his realization of feeling alone in his pain, despite external support, and the importance of seeking help when needed. DJ Shipley opens up about his ego-driven mindset during his military career and how psychedelic therapy led him to experience true ego death, transforming his perspective on life and relationships. Jay Morton discusses the abrupt shift from combat to civilian life and the emotional turbulence that followed, while Billy Billingham emphasises the challenges of decompressing after intense missions and the impact on family dynamics.
These candid reflections underscore the importance of mental health awareness, resilience, and the ongoing journey to find balance after serving in high-stakes environments.
