The Great Unlearn

118. Chad McLean | The Path to Mental Joe: Reclaiming Self After Military and PTSD


Listen Later

Chad McLean is a military veteran and founder of Mental Joe Apparel. 3 years ago he had explored ketamine-assisted therapy which supported his mental wellbeing immensely and allowed him to part from SSRI's.

Chad shares his struggles with mental health and self-esteem throughout his life, his intense experiences in military camp and how he reclaimed his life back by acknowledging and tending to his inner woundings.


Chad and I dive into…

➝ The mission behind Mental Joe

➝ Utilizing Trauma Release Exercises (TRE) in uncovering and healing stuck trauma

➝ A parachute accident that led to a painkiller and alcohol addiction

➝ How to discern between psychedelic-assisted therapies and prioritizing integration

➝ His journey with mental health, PTSD, psych wards, military

➝ His path to repairing safety and security in his partnership after a rock bottom altercation
