Working as a firefighter and paramedic, he experienced a lot, and sometimes it was a tad bit difficult to bounce back to the normalcy of life. He witnessed the firefighter/paramedics tend to be the type A, always tough ones. With this attitude, they all tend to become less expressive and bottling up all the emotions that need to be shared. Many first responders end up suffering from PTSD, and some even make the mistake of keeping the brave front and not asking for help. In the podcast, Jerry reaches all the responders and their families to come together as a community. He brings people from all walks of life, health care professionals, first responders, and psychologists who help cope with the process. While they talk about things of grave importance, they also talk about all things in life, like work, the wonders of life, and things that matter to each one of them. As a community, many individuals are unsure to ask for help and don't know how to cope. After listening to accounts of those who helped themselves or asking for help and how they come out of it, they may encourage some individuals. PTSD could be a small or even a huge problem; while it affects the individual, it also affects their families.© 2023 Enduring The Badge 個人的成功 哲学 心理学 心理学・心の健康 社会科学 自己啓発 衛生・健康的な生活

  • Navigating the Depths of Moral Injury: Rita Brock on Healing, Resilience, and the Power of Community
    2024/08/13

    Send us a Text Message.

    What happens when actions or events violate your deepest moral beliefs? Join us for an essential conversation with Rita Brock, Senior Vice President for Moral Injury Recovery Programs at Volunteers of America, as we dissect the profound suffering known as moral injury. Unlike PTSD, moral injury stems from moral and ethical violations, often leading to harmful coping mechanisms and even life-threatening situations. Rita shares powerful insights on how addressing these painful experiences through supportive discussions and therapeutic practices can lead to growth, wisdom, and resilience.

    Hear the compelling story of a Vietnam veteran who discovered the true nature of his trauma after learning about moral injury. Through this narrative, we explore the intricate overlap between moral injury and PTSD, and the heated debate over their distinct treatment approaches. Gain a deeper understanding of alternative healing methods, such as Native American rituals, and learn about an impactful pilot study by Volunteers of America that utilizes peer-facilitated group therapy to help veterans and first responders find relief and recovery.

    In our final chapter, we discuss the significant role of emotional intelligence in recognizing and addressing moral injury. Sharing personal experiences within a supportive community can immensely lighten the burden of suffering. High-stakes responsibilities, whether in professional roles or personal life—like motherhood—can also contribute to moral injury. This conversation aims to foster resilience and community, underscoring the immense courage required to navigate life's moral challenges. Tune in for a transformative discussion that highlights the importance of addressing moral injury for a healthier, more connected society.

    As a First Responder, you are critical in keeping our communities safe. However, the stress and trauma of the job can take a toll on your mental health and family life.
