045 - The Toll of Trauma: Michael Sugrue

Text the Show or Leave a VoicemailToday I'm talking with Michael Sugrue.  Michael wrote a book called Relentless Courage to address the constant barrage of traumatic events experienced by first responders.  He's an advocate for more transparency in police culture and he speaks with experience as a California officer who was involved in a fatal shooting, years of investigations, depositions and being sued, and then experiencing a difficult retirement, leaving on bad terms with some of the department leadership.All of these issues and more contribute to the difficulties first responders have.  But talking about them and how to overcome them can make a meaningful impact on how you deal with the hand you were dealt.Resources and Links:Michael's book, Relentless Courage https://www.amazon.com/RELENTLESS-COURAGE-Winning-Against-Frontline/dp/1736824414/Music is by Chris HaugenHey Chaplain Podcast Episode 045Support the showThanks for Listening!  And, as always, pray for peace in our city.Subscribe/Follow here:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hey-chaplain/id1570155168Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2CGK9A3BmbFEUEnx3fYZOYEmail us at: [email protected] can help keep the show ad-free by buying me a virtual coffee!https://www.buymeacoffee.com/heychaplain
