Mike MacCurtain joins us to discuss his career in the fire service. He shares about how that career began, the comradery and sense of belonging he felt early on, and how the calls he would go on didn't seem to bother him. Like we have heard from so many others, those calls were adding up, even if Mike wasn't aware of it at the time, and eventually his armor broke. Once that happened more calls began to affect him, and Mike began experiencing serious trauma symptoms. With his mental, psychological, and emotional health suffering and in decline, Mike reached out for help. Like most first responders who commit to recovering from trauma with the guidance of culturally competent clinicians, his symptoms began to subside, and Mike began to heal. He shares his story to be of service to other first responders who are struggling, so they know they are not alone, that help is available, and that healing is possible.
