Send us a text Ever wondered how first responders cope with the intense trauma they face daily? Trauma-focused licensed clinician Deanna returns to Heroic Nation to share her deep expertise and practical advice on handling critical incidents and officer-involved shootings. We also touch on her rich background in fitness and gym ownership, providing a well-rounded perspective on both mental and physical resilience. Plus, we venture into the controversial SAFE WRAP system by Henner Gracie, discussing its questionable marketing and legality, especially in New York, and end with a humorous call for unity among those blocked by Henner on social media.Next, we tackle the perils and rewards of incorporating open water swimming in CrossFit competitions. Hear firsthand about the life-threatening dangers for non-swimming athletes and how the history and Navy SEAL influence of these events factor in. We delve deep into the psychological mindset of pushing limits and the crucial need for both organizational responsibility and personal awareness. This segment emphasizes how discipline over motivation can maintain progress through challenging phases, urging listeners to uncover their deeper "why" to ensure long-term commitment.Lastly, we shine a light on mental health support for first responders, highlighting Travis's training course and the need to balance resilience with vulnerability. Deanna shares real-world examples and underscores the importance of mental health wellness check-ups aimed at self-improvement rather than fitness-for-duty assessments. We also tackle processing intrusive thoughts, the necessity of addressing unresolved trauma, and the power of group support and engagement. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in mental health, resilience, and the intricate balance of maintaining performance under pressure.
