First responders need to hear- and I'm going to bet that Dr Dilema is going to agree that it's not only ok to ask for help, it's the bravest thing that you can do- and it's critical, absolutely.
Ever thought about the mental toll on those who rush to our aid in emergencies? In this episode of 'Origins: Something More', Dr. Anna Lisa De Lima opens up about her journey from being an equestrian to a psychotherapist dedicated to first responders. Dr. De Lima, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and clinical supervisor, shares her experiences and the unique challenges faced by first responders dealing with mental health disorders, substance use issues, and trauma. Dr.
De Lima's path to her current role is nothing short of fascinating. Originally from Trinidad, she spent years competing as an equestrian before an accident shifted her career trajectory towards mental health. Her passion for helping first responders began during a stint at a firefighters' union, where she saw firsthand the struggles they endure. Throughout the episode, Dr.
De Lima emphasizes the importance of evidence-based protocols and the critical role of clinical supervision in effectively treating mental health and substance use disorders. She also highlights the need for first responders to seek help and the essential support their families require. This conversation offers a deep dive into the lives of those who serve on the front lines, providing listeners with valuable insights into the importance of mental health care, recovery, and the often-overlooked spiritual aspects of healing.
If you're curious about the mental health landscape for first responders or looking for inspiration on how to support those who support us, this episode is a must-listen.
