    Your life parallels my career as an attorney. I’m a tax attorney that practices in Washington, DC. Maryland and Illinois.

    Same family life background as you experienced. In matter of fact I have not spoken to my two siblings (sisters) in 25 years.

    One sister became incorrigible going to prison for 1 year and half. (Drugs and an assault on a Police Officer)

    I came upon you through Johnny Strides podcast on Sunday nites.

    I want to write a book about my early experiences as a court appointed attorney and substitute teacher in Philadelphia.

    I really admire your loyal through the ups and downs of life. I was going with a lady for 15 years who had a baby by another man. I was in my senior year of law school.

    I just recently gotten divorced from a wild carpet ride. Thank God gotten out unscathed.

    I have not read your book but would like to read when I have the time and money. (I’m not a wealthy Attorney)

    By the way I wrote Mr.Strides and told him to tell you about a book called “Behind the Walls of Goomorrah by Stephen Seager M.D. fantastic reader about the criminal insane.

    If you have time email me. I really admire you and your loyalty as well as the dedicated and decoration you have put into your life.

    Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

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.
