Episode Details

In this episode, I focus on Post Traumatic Stress- without the “Disorder” part at the end.  Although we may not all have PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress affects ALL of us that have dealt with extreme hardship, trauma, or loss.  I talk about things to consider when evaluating your response and tips to manage it and moving forward.

I have learned a lot about stress “triggers” in my own life and experience, so I share them to give you context and reference points to help manage yours.  These are concepts and themes I wish I was more aware of as a new officer- and that’s a lot of what Blue Grit Radio and @bluegritwellness are all about.

*I am not a doctor, or any kind of medical or mental health professional.  This should not be taken as such advice; but I do provide a solid amount of cop-dude-with-experience insight that may help you and those in your work life, personal life and other circles.

Give it a listen, give it a share, comment and rate/like me where you can to help spread the word!  Thank you, and stay gritty!
