Trauma and Tea is a raw, darkly funny, and deeply human collection of essays exploring PTSD, addiction, recovery, and the emotional fallout of frontline service. Former Canadian Armed Forces member and paramedic Matthew Heneghan writes with unflinching honesty about childhood, military life, grief, brotherhood, and the long road back from self-destruction. Blending memoir, reflection, and gallows humour, he offers an intimate look at trauma and healing without sugarcoating or self-pity. These essays move through memory, loss, recovery, and resilience with a voice that speaks to veterans, first responders, survivors, and anyone who has ever tried to rebuild a life from the wreckage.
