PTSD is not a life sentence. In this episode of Mission: Redeemed, we get real about the battles first responders face—trauma, burnout, and the crushing weight of guilt and shame. Shawn shares his raw experience with EMDR therapy, the mental exhaustion that follows, and how even a trip to Costco can turn into a battlefield.
But here’s the truth: healing is real. We break down the science and the faith behind recovery, from therapy statistics to the biblical struggles of David. If you’ve ever felt lost, stuck, or too broken to move forward, this episode is for you.
You are not alone. You are not beyond help. And your mission? It’s not over. Let’s fight for healing together.
