🎙️ Episode 43: Dr. Brian Livesay — Moral Injury, PTSD, and the Healing Journey
In this powerful episode of Veteran Voices: SITREP, Dr. Brian Livesay—Army veteran, psychologist, and innovator of Critical Memory Integration (CMI)—joins Tom and Chris Faust to dive deep into the unseen wounds veterans carry after service.
From redefining PTSD as a survival response to exposing the silent epidemic of moral injury, Dr. Livesay brings a raw, compassionate, and expert perspective to the complex mental health challenges faced by transitioning service members.
He shares:
* His own journey from the battlefield to the therapy room
* The emotional cost of leaving the uniform behind
* A story of transformative healing through CMI
* Why moral injury needs more attention, and how we begin to heal from it
Whether you're a veteran, a loved one, or someone who supports the military community, this is a must-hear conversation about hope, pain, purpose—and the power of facing your story head-on.
🫡 “Faith moves mountains... I’ve seen people transform the topography of their lives.” — Dr. Brian Livesay
