1, 2, Many: Veteran Suicide With Timothy Lawson

This week Marine veteran and double amputee Chris Van Etten joins Tim Lawson to talk about his struggles with PTSD and a time he considered suicide. The explosion that took Chris’ legs also took one of his friends. This created an understandable sense of survivor’s guilt. While he hasn’t attempted suicide, it is definitely something that has crossed his mind. I always enjoy my conversations with Chris because he is candid and honest. I appreciate his insight on the importance of empathy, purpose, and mentorship.  Chris has become a fitness model and has been able to use his experiences to his advantage.
