Healing Vietnam Veterans: Mental Health, Trauma, and the Urgent Call to Action

In this heartfelt pre-Christmas episode, host George welcomes back Dr. Randall Hansen – healing advocate, educator, ethicist, and author of four transformative books on trauma and wholeness.

Together, they shine a spotlight on the unseen wounds of Vietnam veterans – a generation that sacrificed everything, only to return home to silence, misunderstanding, and inadequate support. With ~500 Vietnam vets passing every day and generational trauma (including Agent Orange effects) still rippling through families, the urgency is undeniable.

Dr. Hansen shares powerful stories:

•  A chance encounter with a Vietnam vet at a dollar store, unpacking decades of shame and guilt

•  How plant medicines (ayahuasca, psilocybin) lift moral injury, restore spiritual connection, and spark profound post-traumatic growth

•  Why trauma isn’t pathology but a signal – and how psychedelics help rewrite narratives, forgive the unforgivable, and turn wounds into gifts

The heart of the episode: a fundraiser through Heroic Hearts Project to fully sponsor a domestic psilocybin retreat for Vietnam veterans ($35k for one retreat – let’s double it!). Heroic Hearts (veteran-led) provides preparation coaching, ceremonies, integration, and community – transforming “dead eyes” into lives reignited, families reunited, and hope restored.

We explore:

•  Government/VA shortcomings vs. nonprofit action

•  The military-industrial complex and lip-service “support”

•  Lingering stigma around psychedelics (tied to Vietnam-era politics)

•  Why this should be reparative justice, not charity

This isn’t just a conversation – it’s a rally cry. Share this episode. Donate if you can. Reach out to influencers. Apply if you’re a vet. Let’s honor their service with real healing before it’s too late.
