Actor Alan Ritchson (War Machine, Reacher, Motor City) joins Dax to discuss his unconventional path from ballet to action star, growing up in a military family, and navigating recent diagnoses of ADHD and CPTSD. The conversation covers childhood bullying, exploitation he faced as a young model, and his ongoing struggle to separate his self-worth from career success. Ritchson shares how EMDR therapy has helped him process trauma and reflects on the complicated role resentment plays in his life, plus his belief that some people are called to fight for others.
