PARARESCUEMAN: How To Heal Trauma, Balance Your Masculine Energy, and Become Whole | Dominic Luke

I sat down with Dominic Luke, a former Air Force pararescueman of ten years and author of That Others May Love More, to talk about the formative trauma at seventeen, the shame and self-blame that followed, and how avoidance later surfaced as identity loss, heavier drinking, and strain in his marriage after leaving the military, how he reclaimed his power, from breathwork and yoga to professionally guided psychedelic ceremonies, and why healing eventually has to become service.

What we explore:

* How high capability can mask unhealed trauma

* Why “it wasn’t your fault” unlocks real healing

* What avoidance costs: identity loss, drinking, marriage strain

* How breathwork, yoga, and psychedelics support recovery

* Why healing has to become service
