Kristi from Nevada
Summary
Can you truly be authentic in a career of Law Enforcement? The officer persona expects you to abide the rules and constantly present that you have it all together and managed, while enduring endless trauma and turmoil on-the-job. This real talk interview reveals Kristi's journey to re-finding herself after suffering PTSD, addiction, sexual assault and suicide attempts spurred from a career in Law Enforcement, which conditioned her beliefs that asking for help equaled failure. Hear her pivotal moment and what helped her rise from the darkest time of her life.
Transformation Tip: Develop Self Awareness to Avoid Emotional Fall Out
•Become aware of your emotional arrogance- emotions you don't want to dig into or dismiss as unimportant.
•Spend time thinking through emotions to figure out where they came from and why they're present. Emotions always serve a purpose- your job is to figure out why certain emotions got a reaction out of you.
•Pinpoint your triggers:
◦what motivates and satisfies you?
◦what people and situations push your buttons?
The more you develop your own self awareness, the better equipped you will become to manage your response and avoid complete breakdown. You will become keenly aware of what makes you tick, how much you can handle, and when to ask for help.
Notes from Jess:
Thank you to all who serve as first responders or in law enforcement. The cost you pay for protecting our communities is largely misunderstood and grossly underappreciated. If you or someone you know needs help, please connect them with the resources below.
