In this episode of Grey Matter, we sit down with Tyler Grey — former Delta Force operator, actor, and author — to explore his extraordinary journey from the battlefield to healing. Tyler opens up about his military career, the devastating injury that changed his life, and the four-year recovery that tested his identity and spirit.
Tyler introduces a new perspective on trauma, challenging traditional PTSD concepts with his theory of Lack of Traumatic Stress Disorder (TSD), explaining how childhood chaos rewires the brain and shapes resilience. He also shares how rediscovering faith became a cornerstone of his healing process.
Listeners will gain valuable insights into:
-
The neurological impact of trauma and addiction in veterans
-
The importance of motivation and mindset in overcoming adversity
-
The role of faith and self-acceptance in recovery
-
Redefining what it means to be a warrior beyond the uniform
This episode is a must-listen for veterans, first responders, mental health advocates, and anyone seeking inspiration from a true warrior’s story.
