We need to start changing the conversation to seeing trauma as strength instead of weakness.

They explore how trauma can both empower and hinder, drawing parallels between the fictional struggles of characters like The Incredible Hulk and the very real battles with PTSD and anxiety that first responders endure.

With insights from mental health experts, this episode offers a unique perspective on how coping mechanisms can turn trauma into a source of strength.
