The Trauma Therapist

I Shut Up And Listened with Ryan T. Reichert is a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel, author, speaker, podcaster, and servant leader whose life spans more than four decades of leadership, struggle, and transformation. 

After 23 years of military service including airborne, ranger, and multiple combat deployments, Ryan transitioned into the Fortune 500 world, gaining firsthand experience in corporate leadership and strategy. Central to his story, though, is his recovery from alcoholism and addiction, a journey that led him back to faith, clarified his purpose, and reshaped how he serves others.

Today, Ryan speaks openly about resilience, redemption, and what it means to rebuild a meaningful life after collapse.

Now based in Arizona, he runs two businesses—Creative Home Designs LLC and Creative Electrical & Plumbing—and speaks to young men about trauma, accountability, and transformation. His story gives voice to men who’ve long suffered in silence and reminds us that healing is always possible.

Matt von Boecklin is the founder of Quit Kit, a science-backed recovery tool created from his own lived experience with alcohol addiction.

After years of struggling with kratom abuse—intensified by frequent relocations and the mental toll that came with them—Matt began looking for practical, physiological support for the earliest and hardest phase of quitting. Drawing on his background in chemical engineering, he developed Quit Kit, a three-week supply of targeted nutrients designed to ease withdrawal symptoms and support dopamine regulation. 

Today, Matt speaks openly about addiction, recovery, and resilience, emphasizing the role of biology, community, and honest support in helping people quit—and reminding others that they don’t have to go through it alone.

They are three sisters born into a large family of ten children in the late 1950s and early 1960s, raised in a disadvantaged area of Dublin.
