This episode features our guest, Robin Bartlett, a memoir author and a Vietnam veteran who served as 1st Lieutenant leading his platoon on more than sixty helicopter combat assaults and search & destroy missions.
TOPICS COVERED:
- Their Journey – From a military family, initially resisted a West Point path but joined ROTC during the Vietnam War. Excelling in infantry and Ranger training, he led over 60 combat missions with the 82nd Airborne Division. The trauma from the war haunted him for decades until therapy and writing his memoir helped him process his experiences. Now, by sharing his story, he aims to help others understand the lasting impact of war.
- Challenges of moving frequently as a military child
- The Realities of War
- Transition to Civilian Life
- Difficulties and psychological impacts of returning home
- Importance of speaking about traumatic experiences for healing
- Contributions of writing and therapy in managing PTSD
- Encouragement for trauma survivors to seek support and share their stories
GUEST RESOURCE RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. While he thought writing his memoir was going to be cathartic, it turned out to be the opposite. What has helped him heal now is speaking his story, sharing it with audiences through his own voice and perspective.
2. Talk to family and friends and other vets who can understand your struggles.
