Be Crazy Well

Wading through the emotional landmines planted by trauma before, during and after service.

Buried emotional landmines from trauma can result in bursts of reactive emotions that are burrowed deep within. Oftentimes we refer to these as triggers and the response might be "Why did that happen? It just came out of nowhere!"

Suzi explains how these reactions never just come out of nowhere. Learn how to recognize, dig up and better understand your emotional landmines. Tune in to learn more about how to dig up, understand and manage your emotional landmines to help YOU to Be Crazy Well.

Stop believing others have the power to trigger your emotional landmines!

Suzi talks with Adam Popp, U.S. Air Force veteran about where he was and what he had to do to be where he is now to Be Crazy Well. 

Bio

Adam is a 12-year combat veteran of the Air Force with deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team leader. In 2007, while working to disarm a roadside bomb (IED) in Afghanistan, Adam was injured by a secondary IED resulting in the amputation of his right leg above the knee. 

In the years following his injury, Adam endeavored to find meaning and purpose. Ultimately, he found that running, sports, and advocacy work was his path to fulfillment and self-actualization. 

In December 2016, eight years after losing his leg and a year and a half after his first run as an amputee, Adam became the first above-knee amputee to complete a 100-mile ultramarathon within the 30-hour cutoff. He later lowered his 100-mile trail time to 18h52m12s at the 2021 Tunnel Hill 100-miler. He placed 2nd at the 2021 Boston Marathon’s inaugural Para Elite division (T61-64), running a world best time for the T63 category of 3h13m25s. In 2017, Adam was the first-ever amputee to complete the JFK 50-miler (also known as America's Oldest Ultramarathon and the World's Oldest Annually Run Footrace) and has five consecutive finishes at this race. Adam is not only first, but sometimes he’s also fastest: in 2019 he set the men’s course record for the trail marathon at the Colorado Kickers for Kids Endurance Run and came in first overall against able-bodied athletes. 

In search of more challenges, Adam began competing in Paratriathlon in 2016. In his short Paratriathlon career, Adam has racked up nine podium finishes in fifteen races on the World Triathlon stage, including wins at the 2021 and 2022 Americas Triathlon Championships and the 2018 International Triathlon Union (ITU) Paratriathlon World Cup in Sarasota, Florida. In 2019, Adam finished 5th overall in the ITU Paratriathlon World Championship in Lausanne, Switzerland. 

These accomplishments would not have been possible without countless mentors and organizations along the way. During the 18 months in which Adam was recovering from his injuries, he was able to meet and learn from others recovering from a wide range of traumatic injuries and individual challenges. He saw the myriad ways that people handled the process of recovery, many using sport to not only overcome their new adversity, but to rise to a higher level of functioning in the aftermath of trauma. Adam learned, above all, just how instrumental mentors are in this process. By the end of his stay at Walter Reed Medical Center, he made a pledge to himself that he would utilize his experience, understanding, and compassion to help others overcome their individual physical and emotional challenges to reach their maximum potential.

Learn to be congruent in your thoughts, feelings and actions. Always not only act the truth but tell the truth. We are more apt to lie to ourselves than to others.

Suzi talks about why we lie and how it begins at a very young age. So why might we choose to lie? Maybe it is about wanting power or fear of being punished. Maybe we lie because we don't want to hurt someone's feelings? Or we lie because we want to do what we want to do and not have to do what we don't. Or we lie because we want to feel better about ourselves.

In this episode, Suzi talks about how a person oftentimes can be trained to take care of others before oneself at a young age, but this can be an unsafe practice. It's kind of like thinking you can rescue other people if they fall into the deep end, but you can't swim. And yet you're the first one that jumps in the pool. Working with combat veterans, Suzi has become familiar with the super power to want to rescue others, to want to make sure that others are safe and even sacrifice oneself for others.

Self awareness is not selfish! Ask yourself: Can I emotionally regulate! Can I make sure that my feelings are not so out of control that I'm actually adding to the danger and the wellbeing of myself and others? Can I physically manage my fear and sadness so that it doesn't turn into anger because once it turns into anger, then it's much harder to be able to make rational, safe decisions.

In today's episode, Suzi talks with Scott Wert with the Concussion Legacy Foundation (CLF) about physical and emotional concussions. It is important to understand the symptoms, long term and short term along with how to help with the ongoing research to prevent and protect our brains from trauma.

What it means to Be Crazy Well ~ Authentic! Self Reflective! Creating the life you want to live and the person you want to be!

In this episode, Suzi focuses on childhood trauma and how it affects those that choose to serve. What does the trauma bring to the table, how will it affect abilities while serving and once a service member has transitioned out? A whole person consists of everything that happens before, during and after the military, therefore, it is important for a person to be able to talk about everything that happened and the effects. This includes both in terms of gaining strengths and also how it makes us more vulnerable, especially vulnerable to suicide.
