SPOTLIGHT MONDAY: The Threshold Technique

What this episode covers

On today’s Spotlight Monday, we shine the light on “The Threshold Pause” and how this technique law enforcement officers already utilize in their police tactics can help them overcome emotional struggles in their personal lives. We learned about this from our Special Episode with Kristofor, Episode 59, where he shared how the stoic mindset, and the practice of this philosophy, can help first responders better handle the high stress volume and traumatic incidents they experience in this career. We found it so interesting how this simple pause can be such an integral communication tool in a personal situation that can help reduce stress and emotional discomfort. Kristofor’s knowledge and experience on stoic philosophy really highlights the benefits of its many practical applications such as the “threshold pause” technique. To learn more about stoicism and the insightful advantages of this life practice for first responders and their families, please go back and listen to Kristofor’s full interview, Episode 59.
