How Complex PTSD led to the Tragedy in Las Vegas w/ Dr. Roger Rhoades

In this compelling episode of The Collier Landry Show, we explore the devastating impact of complex PTSD through the lens of a tragic New Year’s Day event. Dr. Roger Rhoades, an expert in trauma and mental health, will join us in discussing the case of Master Sgt. Matthew Livelsberger, a decorated U.S. Army Special Forces veteran whose private struggles led to a public tragedy. Livelsberger's actions—a Tesla Cybertruck bombing outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas—shocked the nation and raised urgent questions about mental health care for veterans. We unpack the string of events, from his cryptic messages to loved ones to the mounting evidence of a traumatic brain injury and unaddressed grief over his military service. Dr. Rhoades sheds light on the psychological toll of complex PTSD, the challenges of reintegration after military service, and the warning signs that often go unnoticed. Together, we examine the intersection of mental health, personal tragedy, and societal accountability to foster understanding and change.
