Glenn Cohen | The Former Mossad Psychologist in the Room When the Hostages Returned
Meaningful People
Trauma as Opportunity for Growth
Glenn describes how many hostages report personal growth, citing post-traumatic growth and examples of transformed self-perception.
In this extraordinary episode, Nachi Gordon sits down with Glenn Cohen — former chief psychologist of the Mossad, helicopter pilot, and trauma expert — for one of the most riveting conversations ever featured on Meaningful People.
From rescuing soldiers in Lebanon to counseling hostages freed after October 7th, Glenn has witnessed the darkest sides of humanity — and the boundless strength of the human spirit. He shares powerful firsthand accounts from meeting newly released hostages, insights into Mossad's secret world, and the psychology of resilience that enables ordinary people to do the impossible.
With candor and compassion, Glenn reveals how people survive the unimaginable — not by avoiding pain, but by growing from it. He explains the concept of post-traumatic growth, the coping tools that saved lives in captivity, and why he believes every person is capable of far more than they think.
This is not just a story about Israel, trauma, or espionage — it's a masterclass in faith, courage, and the strength embedded in the Jewish soul.
