This episode is truly for everyone.


Every first responder, leaders and first responder clinicians.


Joseph has seen the job from the inside out. He has been on the road, behind the mic in dispatch and in a clinical setting.


Joseph spent 35 years as a paramedic. During that time he openly shares that he has lost over 150 colleagues to suicide .. and how he believes he could have been next. 


In this episode, we talk about what actually works in trauma treatment for responders.


Is EMDR the right treatment plan? Is it always used correctly? 


Not all clinicians understand this culture.. And that makes a difference here. 


This conversation is not only powerful, but incredibly educational. 


I have been seeking therapy for my trauma for several years now and through talking with Joseph, I have learned why some things haven’t worked for me. 


No matter the season you’re in, the treatments that didn’t feel right for you or the clinicians that you’ve felt moved to change, there is still a way forward and others that have experienced many of the same struggles.
