Send us a Text Message.Join us as Rhodesian war veteran and Psychologist Barry Zworestine shares his gripping journey from university corridors to the unforgiving battlefields of the Rhodesian Bush War. He recounts his rigorous physical and psychological training, the unexpected injuries that altered his career path, and the complex emotions stirred by the dual nature of combat. Through his vivid storytelling, we get a rare glimpse into the life of a medic in this tumultuous period, including a mysterious UFO sighting that left an indelible mark.  Our conversation paints a nuanced picture of the moral dichotomies soldiers face, illustrated by tales of camaraderie and the haunting confessions of a soldier who misses the hunt. We explore the deep psychological impact of reconciling the capacity for violence with being a loving father and responsible individual. This episode offers a profound exploration of the duality of human nature shaped by warfare, shedding light on the long-lasting emotional and psychological scars that veterans carry.  As we navigate the emotional terrain of post-service life, our guest opens up about the sense of inadequacy, identity struggles, and grief that many veterans experience. He shares his reflections on aging and the disciplined practices that help manage stress and maintain a sense of purpose. Highlighting the importance of supportive networks and advocacy, we emphasize the need for understanding trauma and the powerful role of shared experiences in promoting healing and preventing suicide among veterans. Tune in for a heartfelt tribute to the resilience of those who've served and a call to acknowledge their ongoing journey toward healing. Instagram: @securityhaltX: @SecurityHaltTik Tok: @security.halt.podLinkedIn: Deny Caballero Follow and connect with Barry and be sure to pick up his book by clicking the link below.LinkedIn: Barry ZworestineBook: Which way is your warrior facingSupport the Show.Produced by Security Halt Media

Barry Zworestine (In His Own Words): I was born in Southern Rhodesia (in what is now Zimbabwe) in 1953. After a fairly uneventful schooling in which I focused more on sports than on academics, I went to university in South Africa, where I spent several years training in the field of education. In 1976 I returned to Rhodesia to comply with national service requirements and was involved in the Rhodesian Bush War. On leaving the war in 1977, I spent a number of years living and working in South Africa before emigrating to Australia, where I lived for several years before settling in England for a brief period of time. After unsuccessfully attempting to mountain bike from Great Britain to Israel in 1984, I flew there instead and spent four years developing the British Council English Language Centre. While in Israel I developed a passion for marathon running, which then extended to ultra-marathon running after I returned to South Africa to qualify as a clinical psychologist.  I returned to Australia in 2000, where I have remained ever since. In 2002, given my military experience and psychological qualifications, I was accepted as a contractor with a veteran organisation; I still continue with this work today. I also continue to run short distances and am passionate about music. I play the African drum, American Indian flute and the Australian didgeridoo. In my most recent book, “Which Way is your Warrior facing” I dress the complex nature of transitioning to Civilian territory. I have also combined Book One “Which Way is Your Claymore Facing” and set the book up as a free PDF download from my website. I have encapsulated many years of conversations and learning with the extraordinary men and women I have sat with in my practice over the years, from regular to special forces soldiers. I hope that some of what I have written will support you and others around you on your journey towards healing. As I have noted, this is not a researched and academic text, and as such it may very well have its failings and limitations. Instead, this book is based on years of conversations with veterans and their partners and children. It is based on my experiences and challenges as a veteran and a man. It embodies years of exposure to neuroscience principles and brain- and body-based wisdom. I have tried to express this in simple, accessible writing and to draw on military operational terms to explain relevant concepts and lessons. I've also drawn on my own life experience while navigating my own pathway through a variety of life challenges.

Barry Zworestine, a combat veteran of the Rhodesian Bush War in modern day Zimbabwe, joins the show to talk about the similarities between Australian veterans and U.S. veterans.

Barry Zworestine has spent the latter part of his life focused on helping veterans transition in a healthy way out of a combat role as a military member to being a thriving family member, employee, and leader in many other environments.

This week’s episode of Ones Too Many we have Rhodesian War Veteran, psychologist, author, and ultramarathoner Barry Zworestine. We cover a lot of topics today from the difference he has seen being drafted into the war, what he calls the “bandaid method, and we delve deeper into what he does to help his patients. He gives a lot of tips and tricks that he uses in his daily practice to help people through their “ambush zone,” while throwing out some advice about how he helps not only the patient he is seeing, but also their families. Next we moved toward his book, “Which Way is Your Claymore Facing.” We discuss why he wrote it, what he has learned from it, and what you will take from reading it. This wasn’t written to make money, it is for sell on Amazon for the minimum (who knew they had a minimum price…) $0.99 for the Ebook and $4.00 for the hard copy. It is a book filled with core wisdom. It focuses on how to stay coherent when you hit a wall by using: core lessons, core techniques, core strategies, operational neuroscience, tools to bring into your relationship.
