regions. But his most grueling expeditions didn’t happen on a
mountain—they happened within. In this revealing episode of The Dr.

struggles, institutionalization, and homelessness led Cory to push

• How spending time in nature and solitude can help you reconnect
with yourself and find clarity • What Cory’s journey through trauma
and recovery can teach you about your own capacity to heal • Why
