What happens to our vision when we carry too much weight?In this episode of The Collective, we explore how service, trauma, and pressure affect our ability to see clearly, both in the field and within ourselves.Gordon Hurley, former Canadian Special Operator and educator, Dr. Dan Allen, former NZ Army medic, MMA fighter, and psychologist, and Jason Cheney, police veteran and night vision specialist, dive into the mental and emotional toll of sustained service and how perception changes under pressure.What clouds our perception? pain, purpose, pressure?Is it possible to see truth when we’re burdened by past trauma or expectation?Do we narrow our focus, or widen it to face what we’ve tried to ignore?And how often is what we think we see simply a projection of what we’ve endured?In a world that demands clarity, how do we train our inner vision with the same precision we train our outer tools?We won’t just ask how to carry the load, but how our perception defines the path ahead.#TheCollective #VisionUnderLoad #MentalHealth #VeteranVoices #FirstResponders #Resilience
