PTSD Episode 2 - “Sometimes you just have to know when it’s time for a change”
from Motivate with Coach Camp · host Coach Camp
Pursuing something you have a passion for should be the hope and desire of every person. However, sometimes we don’t know exactly what that passion looks like, but we will know what it feels like. Having a desire to help others is really more of a calling than a decision. The underlying understanding of you helping others allows you to stay humble, live bigger than yourself and ultimately find purpose with every action. This can be one of the most rewarding styles of living. This week’s guest left no stone unturned. Straight out of high school Mr. Robert Gibson immediately joined the military and went into the Air Force and after completing one term he chose to get out and return home where he became a police officer. It was during his 9 plus years he spent patrolling the streets and responding to calls that he started to notice a change in his behavior. Sensing that police work may be becoming an issue in his life he transitioned to becoming a firefighter/paramedic. While the change in scenery may have been a welcome sight the harsh truth still remained, he hadn’t escaped some of the depravities of society. Regardless of what your title is, when you choose to put others first and become a public servant you pay a price. Some of that price is the physical wear and tear that the job brings. The other price is the mental wear and tear of seeing some of the worst life has to offer. Robert knew that part of his healing would come from the very types of calls that created the damage. Strangely enough, when we find new ways to process information and mitigate difficult times it not only empowers us to be stronger, but it equips us with skills that we can share with others. I know that you will find the story of this week’s guest to be very inspirational.
