The Most HEARTBREAKING Reasons SAS Recruits Sign Up | SAS: Who Dares Wins

[@catherine9808]

The way they spoke to that beautiful man who had been sexually abused was absolutely powerful to watch . I work as a clinical psychologist and I mean it with all my heart these men did more in that conversation than I ever could have done for him in my professional capacity ! Blew me away , Thankyou

[@NEGV01]

That little speech after escorting him out saying how they like him is a massive thing especially within the military environment. That in itself is enough to help people get through training.

[@CJ-ft9yo]

That’s the most amazing part of the series. When they find negative traits and question them, the advice is very straightforward but it is about that person they’re watching. No fancy words, listening intently just tell it as it is - very powerful.

[@sqnhunter]

The purpose of taking a man who has hit rock bottom ...even driven to rock bottom, and then rebuilding him in the way he should be, in the way of the regiment, and in the way of a soldier of the regiment, is how they get their best men. You take a man with a predetermined disposition who cant be changed, and he is totally unacceptable from the start. If a man is failing, you drive him to utter despair...to rock bottom and then you can remodel him...this is what they do. They do it exceptionally well. One mans cast offs are an other mans treasure.

[@AweSomeGamerzFTW]

@Matt H the environment they're in can be a lot more supportive than a doctor, doesn't say anything about the doctor, but that the person needs to be in an environment that they feel ready to talk in

[@AweSomeGamerzFTW]

@Matt H no offence to females, but in this scenario, I dont believe a man would break down and cry like this if these guys weren't there to support them. I was tired last night, it is slightly strange of the original comment, but let's be happy these guys spoke and got through rather than sitting in darkness! Have a good day fella

[@milksips3876]

The way the guys use their masculinity to support these guys is the exact opposite of toxic masculinity. They really do this well, you can see if they totally lost it they would change the serious act but it helped these guys and I think that says a lot.

[@thebun2901]

You can tell the first man blames himself for his girlfriends death which is heartbreaking as its not his fault in any way 😔 hope he finds peace one day 😔

[@sloht4061]

I think it all comes down to needing to find a reason for their death and that it wasn't pointless with no answers. We, as a species, cannot understand the reality of death, the fact that one day someone is here and the next they are gone. Blaming himself is probably his means of coming to terms with that loss. I think everyone does that, even if someone dies of illness. "Could I have given them something before it got worse" or "Could I have spotted it before it got bad so they could get help earlier"

[@joshuamoss9409]

[@LeSnafu]

7 months late answer, but you can overcome the fearness of heights. I am afraid of heights and i just took a skylift licence where the skylift can go up to 20 meters. 20 meters might not sound so high up but its quite high, specially when the basket kinda swings back and fourth. That puts fear in your mind. I am working on it and i get higher up each time i use the skylift. Fear is something you create in your mind. You picture things that can go wrong, equipment failure etc. trusting the equipment and small steps each time and soon enough you get up to those 20 meters :)
