Soldier in battle - Nathan Bolton, Mentor & Mental Health Advocate, Adelaide South Australia

In the aftermath of military service, soldiers often grapple with invisible wounds that linger long after the battlefields have faded from view. Among these silent scars, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) stands as a haunting spectre, casting shadows over the lives of those who have braved the crucible of combat. Nathan Bolton, a former Special Operations Engineer who experienced the horrors of war firsthand, understands the depths of despair and darkness that can consume the human spirit. Yet, he stands as a beacon of hope, offering guidance and support to those navigating the treacherous terrain of PTSD.


Nathan's own journey through PTSD mirrors the harrowing odyssey faced by many veterans. As a mental health advocate, he has traversed the minefield of triggers and traumas, confronting the nightmares and flashbacks that haunt the restless slumber of the afflicted.


Through his own experiences, Nathan knows the weight of guilt and survivor's remorse that bears down upon shoulders already burdened by the weight of the past. Yet, he also understands the transformative power of resilience and the possibility of emerging from the darkness into the light of healing.



For Nathan, stepping out of the darkness began with a single, courageous step—the decision to confront his demons and seek help. Now, he offers guidance and mentorship to others facing similar struggles, providing personalised support tailored to their individual needs. Through his new book, "Trigger Warning," Nathan shares real-life accounts of his journey through trauma and healing, offering insights and inspiration to those in search of hope and redemption.


In addition to his book, Nathan offers a lifeline to those grappling with PTSD, providing a path toward recovery through therapy, support groups, and healthy coping mechanisms. By cultivating connections and breaking the silence surrounding PTSD, Nathan fosters a community of solidarity and support where individuals can find solace and strength in shared experiences.


To take the first step toward recovery with Nathan Bolton's guidance, potential customers can get in touch through his website or contact him directly for personalised support and assistance.


Together, we can confront the demons of PTSD, break the silence, and step into a future filled with hope and possibility.
