Trigger Warning (eBook, ePUB)

A Special Operations Engineer in Afghanistan

Beschreibung

In "Trigger Warning," journey with Nathan Bolton, a former Special Operations Engineer, as he confronts the relentless horrors of combat in Afghanistan. Tasked with detecting and disarming deadly IEDs, Nathan's tours are a combination of chaos and peril, where every step could lead to death or maiming. But the true battleground lies within, as Nathan grapples with the shadows of trauma and the desperate pursuit of his father's approval. Post-war, Nathan descends into the abyss of despair, contemplating an end to his suffering. Yet, salvation arrives in a most unexpected form-a battered off-road racing sidecar, an echo of his father's past glory. Through racing, Nathan finds purpose and begins his ascent from the depths of darkness. But this journey is not merely about survival; it's about reclaiming his humanity. Nathan learns that true bravery isn't found in the heat of battle but in the vulnerability of facing one's inner demons. His metamorphosis from a broken warrior to a beacon of resilience is a testament to the power of courage and the indomitable human spirit. "Trigger Warning" is a raw and unflinching portrayal of the scars of war and the triumph of the human soul. It's a rallying cry for those battling their own demons, a testament to the enduring power of hope, and a reminder that even in the darkest of times, redemption is possible for those brave enough to seek it.

Nathan Bolton a former Special Operations Engineer, deployed twice to Afghanistan as part of the Australian Special Forces. He worked alongside the Commandos and the SAS, as they landed time and time again in hostile enemy territory. He faced a formidable adversary upon returning home: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Major Depression. After hitting rock bottom, Nathan finally became aware of the rigid stoic views that were stalling his recovery, and although a torturous journey, it also bared a gift of no comparison. Here, he not only learned to overcome his demons, but also began to use the pain of his past to support others walking down the same road. Nathan is now a mental health advocate who promotes mental health awareness, stigma reduction, and help-seeking behaviours. With a singular mission to inspire and empower individuals to seek support during times of crisis, Nathan has dedicated himself to various advocacy roles. He has served on esteemed councils and committees, including the SA Premier's Council on Suicide Prevention and WellbeingSA's Community Advisory Committee for Mental Health. As the State Representative of the Special Operations Engineers Regiment Welfare Association and Director of Bolton Brothers, a men's psychology company, Nathan extends support to those in need, offering wellbeing and resilience training. Nathan continues his quest as a keynote speaker, and more recently as a published author, using the experiences of his past, the mistakes that he made and the lessons that he learned along the way, to prevent others from making the same mistakes as he did, and to show the true strength and courage of vulnerability.
