The Real Reason Veterans Struggle After Service: Cognitive Crisis
In this powerful episode of Time to Head North, Vince sits down with cognitive analyst Shelley Bernard to explore the complex realities of the transition from military to civilian life, the impact of long-term trauma exposure, and the evolving conversation around veterans, mental health, psychology, and resilience.
Shelley shares how her work began by helping special operations veterans navigate the transition from military to civilian life and why accurate psychological profiling and cognitive analysis are critical for long-term success and survival after service. With rising concerns around suicide rates among veterans and the growing mental health challenges faced by law enforcement and security professionals, this conversation dives deep into trauma healing and how long-term exposure to stress impacts the mind.
Together, they explore the psychology behind how veterans process trauma, why traditional personality assessments often fail those in high-risk professions, and how society’s perception of law enforcement and military communities affects mental health outcomes. The discussion also highlights the importance of understanding how the brain processes information, how trauma shapes decision-making, and why better tools for trauma healing and mental health support are needed for veterans and security professionals.
This episode offers valuable insights into the psychological challenges that come with the transition from military to civilian life and provides a deeper look at trauma healing, cognitive profiling, and the mental health realities facing veterans, law enforcement, and those working in high-risk environments.
If you are interested in psychology, trauma healing, veterans’ mental health, or understanding how the mind adapts after years of high-alert service, this conversation is a must-listen.
