Danny sits down with Michael Sugrue, a retired Police Sergeant and former US Air Force Captain. Michael shares his experience with Post Traumatic Stress Injury (PTSI), depression, and anxiety. He gives advice on ways to cope with work related stress, the importance of talking openly about your emotions, and how to identify the warning signs that your job is negatively affecting you. You can find more information on how to seek psychological help as a first responder by checking out the First Responder Support Network.
Before their conversation, Danny shares the positive and negative experiences he had as a police officer, how to instill situational awareness in your children, and the effects that constant negativity has on your psyche. He also goes into why having expectations isn’t always a bad thing and how “overnight success” is a myth. Finally, Danny clears the air on the commonly misunderstood phrase “Jerry Rigged.”
