In part one of this episode I talk with Mike Cancellieri, founder and executive director of Frontline Foundations of North America.  Frontline is an extremely important organization that provides mental health services to veterans and first responders, with a focus on building a mind/heart connection and resiliency.

Mike and I discuss the unique approach that Frontline utilizes based on the staff coming from the communities they serve.  We dive into the way Frontline builds trust, overcomes stigma and teaches mindfulness practices that resonate with first responders and veterans alike.

Frontline is a non-profit and much of their important work is funded by small donations.  Please consider supporting their mission at the link below.

In this episode of Twisted Remedies I talk with EMDR Therapist Beth Jacobs about trauma, EMDR Therapy, and the path to post traumatic growth.

In Jiu Jitsu, the hardest step is the first one onto the mats.  The first step to finding someone to help you navigate your way out of trauma is also extremely difficult.
Both first steps can be life changing.
