136: A Deeper Dive into my critical incidents and experiences- I'm interviewed by Mark Bouchard
Manage episode 442987640 series 3539627
I've gotten comfortable sharing my story on different occasions and platforms. It's all been in the effort of helping others reduce stigmas, self-judgement in themselves and others in first responder careers ripe with a multitude of stressors. My story is unique, and it's also not. So many of us may not experience the exact same circumstances, but the overlap is often huge.
I was connecting with my good bro in blue from up north, Mark Bouchard (RCMP). You may recognize his name from such episodes as #59 and #68 (must listens!) In our conversation, he shared that although I have told my stories on many other podcasts, I have shared different stories and pieces on my own show. He wanted to hear someone interview me to expand on these events: from my OIS to hostage rescue*, to my own struggles and lessons in trying to address health amongst the rollercoaster of police work.
As always, my stories, experiences, opinions and reflections are shared with you in hopes to keep growing positivity, growth and resilience for our police profession and first responder community.
*If you want to hear me chat with some guys that were in those situations with me, check out #17 with fmr. Officer Trevor Wolcott, #51 with ret. Sgt. Joe Gagner, and #88 with ret. Det. Tom Riener.
