Ep 265 Dr Chad Scott Use Travel as a Tool for Processing Grief, Trauma, and Life Transitions

Dr Chad Scott nearly lost everything—his health, his marriage, and his identity— now he guides others through stories that help them confront pain, discover purpose, and grow stronger on the other side of struggle.

A therapist, author, educator, and liver transplant survivor who persevered through personal adversity into a mission to explore the world’s most emotionally powerful and historically significant places. His critically acclaimed book, Beyond the Darkness, dives into dark tourism—not to glorify tragedy, but to uncover what sites like Auschwitz, Ground Zero, historic cemeteries, battlefields, and former prisons can teach us about healing, resilience, and what it means to be human.
