Empathy is way more of a tool, way more of an energy than we really give it credit for. You have to be able to step into that space of feeling and feel for just a freaking second what it's like to be that helpless.
Imagine dedicating your life to saving others, only to find yourself in need of saving. That's the reality for many first responders and veterans, and it's the heart of this episode of the Finding Strength Podcast. Host Matt Quackenbush sits down with Jacki Briggs and Sierra Tucker, the dynamic duo behind Courageous Survival, a nonprofit organization committed to providing mental health resources to those who serve on the front lines.
Jacki, a veteran and first responder, founded Courageous Survival after struggling to find support for her adopted daughters from the Philippines. Sierra, a dispatcher and veteran, brings her own firsthand experiences to the table, emphasizing the critical need for support after traumatic incidents. Their stories are raw, real, and incredibly inspiring. The episode dives deep into the practicalities of trauma recovery, showcasing therapies like Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and sensory deprivation pods.
These methods go beyond traditional talk therapy, aiming to rewire the brain and offer holistic healing. But it's not just about the techniques; it's about creating a community where first responders and veterans feel understood and supported. Matt, Jacki, and Sierra discuss the importance of culturally competent resources, peer support, and the transformative power of empathy.
This conversation is more than just informative; it's a call to action for anyone involved in trauma recovery or looking to support those who are. Whether you're a first responder, a veteran, or someone who cares about them, this episode offers valuable insights and a sense of hope.
