Have you found yourself avoiding certain places, conversations, or situations? Do you no longer engage in hobbies or activities you once enjoyed? Do you feel detached from others, or find it difficult to experience happiness and satisfaction? Are you having nightmares or difficulty sleeping? First responders have a front row seat to the best and worst of humanity. This can take a toll on you in a variety of ways. Sometimes images from calls keep returning. Hypervigilance and cumulative stress can leave you feeling restless, irritable, or fatigued. This can lead to resentment and negative beliefs about yourself and the world. I utilize acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help people stop avoiding or denying their inner emotions while working to accept their deeper feelings to move forward in their lives in a manner consistent with their values. I also use cognitive processing therapy (CPT) to help you learn to challenge and modify unhelpful beliefs related to trauma. I am here to help you overcome feeling drained, worn out, burnt out, stressed, alone, or even hopeless. I’ve worked with many first responders to foster resiliency and cope with cumulative stress, trauma exposure, and administrative betrayal.
