In this episode, we’re joined by therapist Donn Bradley to break down the mental armor every cop needs to survive this job. This isn’t surface-level “self-care” talk—Donn dives into the science of stress, trauma, and healing, explaining what repeated exposure to chaos actually does to the brain and nervous system. We talk about why asking for help is not a weakness, but a critical strength, how self-awareness can prevent burnout, bad decisions, and breakdowns, and what officers can do right now to protect their mental health. If you wear a badge or support someone who does, this is a conversation you need to hear.
