I've learned that they mask and they don't share readily, that you have to build a rapport with them and that because of what they're trained, what they're given at the academy, they're actually trained to stuff it, to push it down.
Ever wonder who helps the heroes? In this eye-opening episode of The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen sit down with Dr. Nancy Bohl-Penrod, a psychotherapist and trainer for first responders. Dr. Bohl-Penrod opens up about her personal journey, sharing how her husband's experiences as a police officer led her to focus on the mental health challenges faced by those on the front lines.
The conversation digs into the heavy toll that critical incidents can take on first responders and the often-overlooked stigma around seeking help. From building rapport with these brave individuals to the essential role of departmental support, this episode offers a deep dive into the unique mental health struggles of first responders. Packed with practical tips and heartfelt advice, it's a must-listen for anyone connected to this community.
Whether you're a first responder yourself or have one in your life, you'll find valuable insights and support here.
