  • Episode 45: Not Everyone Walks Out with PTSD

    -        Cyndi Doyle, law enforcement officer’s wife and licensed professional counselor, discusses the difficult topic of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or Post Traumatic Stress. She breaks down what qualifies a person to be diagnosed with PTSD and gives examples of warning signs to look for if a first responder has been affected by a critical incident and may be suffering from PTSD.

    -        Intro and Outro music by Big State “Bad Timing / Bad Luck”

    -        Criterion for Diagnosis: Criterion A – Direct/Indirect Exposure; Criterion B – Nightmares, flashbacks, distress after triggers; Criterion C – Thoughts, feelings, or external reminders; Criterion D – Inability to recall key features of the trauma, negative thoughts about oneself or the world, exaggerated blame, negative affect, decreased interest in activities, isolation; Criterion E – alterations and arousal in reactivity; Criterion F – last one month or more; Criterion G – a change in functional significance; Criterion H – exclusion criteria.

    -        Contributing Factors to Impeding Your Brain to Process Event: personalization of the event and their own trauma.

    -        “Typical” behavior after critical incident: don’t close eyes, show emotions, be quiet, and talk to others

    -        What to watch for: hopelessness, personalization and blame, magical thinking, blame on somebody else, increase in numbing activity, and isolation.

    -        What to do if you see this: tell them what you see different about behavior, and ask open-ended questions.
