#15 - "Code Silent: The Unspoken Battle of First Responder Mental Health”

In this deeply personal solo episode, I open up about my own personal experience as a paramedic, while battling PTSD, anxiety, and depression. The painful reality of being met with silence, judgment, and isolation from the very community I served alongside. I share the very call that sent me into a downward spiral of the unknown, in the face of an infectious disease exposure and then the mind-blowing events that happened after the call, which only intensified my risk. This is a raw and honest look at the stigma surrounding mental health in emergency services — and why it's time we change the conversation and see the humanity within these professions. First Responders are human beings, not super humans.   Similar Episode:  Former Police Officer Suffering with PTSD - Saved By Psilocybin and Thriving 4 Years Later   Arcadia Healing Sanctum - Psilocybin Retreats (First Responder Only Options Available )  (Affiliated with the Imperial College of London - Psychedelic Research Centre)   Apply: Here   Free Consultation: Book Here
