E35 Transformational Tools & Trauma: Brian Arbor on War, PTSD, and Landmark

In this conversation we invited former Landmark Staffer and Army combat veteran Brian Arbor to delve into the complex interplay between personal transformational tools and the toughest of living circumstances, deployment to an active war zone. We explore Brian's journey through PTSD recovery, his experiences with the Landmark Worldwide, and the impact of both in war including identity and purpose. The discussion highlights the dangers of disassociation, the importance of hope and purpose in healing, and the challenges faced by individuals in high-control environments. Ultimately, they reflect on the burdens of trauma and the necessity of addressing the emotional and psychological aspects of recovery with the proper tools. CONTENT Advisory: Please be aware that in this episode, Brian discusses challenging experiences involving children from his combat deployment. This content may be sensitive or distressing.
