We all know that television and movies simply don't have enough time to give us what REALLY happens in Law Enforcement circles, in particular, Crisis Negotiation but - what IS Hollywood giving us when it comes to Crisis Negotiation and understanding Mental Health? The answer is reasonably horrifying. There are so many details, scenarios, perspectives and processes that have to be shoved into a 43-minute package, and it's time to find out what Hollywood is offering us from Crisis Negotiator Trainer, Pat Doering, The Crisis Cop and Crisis Negotiator and Clinical Psychologist Dr. Morgan Krumeich. It's time for a Perspective Review of Criminal Minds, Season 1, Episode 9 - "Derailed" via WhatCopsWatch on The 2GuysTalking Podcast Network.   The Perspective Reviews Podcast Connection Links:   Connect with The Host (and View Direct Contact information Below!)

Bleep! with Ana Navarro

Bleep! with Ana Navarro

Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
