In this powerful episode of Security Halt!, host Deny Caballero sits down with Tyler Grey, a former U.S. Army Ranger and Delta Force operator, to dive deep into the complex landscape of mental health for veterans. Tyler opens up about his own personal battles with PTSD, revealing how childhood trauma, identity crises, and low self-worth shaped his internal struggle long before combat ever began.

They unpack the often misunderstood realities of trauma, the myths surrounding PTSD, and how emotional awareness and community connection are key to healing. Tyler introduces a compelling new concept—LTSD (Lack of Traumatic Stress Disorder)—challenging how society defines and responds to mental health issues.

From chaos to clarity, Tyler shares how gratitude, holistic wellness, and authentic conversations are reshaping how veterans find peace and purpose beyond the battlefield.
