A Man In Pieces.
Am I a soldier or a healer? Am I the sinner or the saint? Am I broken and healing, or am I whole and crumbling, piece by piece? A slow drip towards the end…
Perhaps I am none of these things and perhaps I am all of them? That’s the thing about pieces – they are at times interchangeable.
Day by day, piece by piece – I am none and I am all…
A man in pieces.

Hello,
Welcome to the official blog of Matthew Heneghan — author of A Medic’s Mind and Woven in War, and host of the trauma-focused podcast Unwritten Chapters.
As a former Canadian Armed Forces medic and civilian paramedic, I’ve lived through the raw edges of trauma, addiction, grief, and healing. Through honest storytelling and lived experience, I write and speak about PTSD, trauma recovery, mental health awareness, and resilience — especially from the lens of veterans and first responders.
If you’re searching for real-life stories of overcoming adversity, the effects of service-related trauma, or insight into the recovery process after hitting rock bottom — you’re in the right place. My goal is to foster connection through shared experience, break stigma, and offer hope.
Explore the blog, tune into the podcast, and discover how writing became a lifeline — and might just become yours, too.
