In this heartfelt episode of Life, Death, and Everything In Between, we sit down with licensed therapist Dee Dee Chance to explore the often-overlooked impact of secondary PTSD — the emotional toll of caring for others in trauma-heavy professions like healthcare, emergency response, social work, and funeral service.

Dee Dee shares real-world insights on why mental health care isn’t optional, especially for those who carry the weight of others' pain daily. We discuss burnout, boundaries, and how to show up for yourself when your job requires showing up for everyone else.

Whether you're in a helping profession or love someone who is, this episode offers compassion, clarity, and resources to get help when you need it most.
