Send us a textThe first voice on a 911 call carries a lot more than a headset. In this candid, unfiltered conversation with veteran dispatcher and recovery coach Lisa Trusas, we pull back the curtain on what really happens at the console: juggling multiple emergencies at once, coaching panicked parents through CPR, catching danger in a whisper, and making judgment calls with lives on the line. Lisa's story reframes dispatch as the heart of public safety—where police, fire, and EMS meet—and where the weight of uncertainty often lingers after the line goes dead.We dig into the human cost of the work and the culture that shapes it. Lisa lays out the “double stigma” dispatchers face—expected to be as tough as sworn personnel while being dismissed as civilians when they seek help. We compare how fire and police approach debriefs and mental health, why dispatchers are too often left out of critical incident reviews, and how Massachusetts' mandatory behavioral health training is a step forward. Along the way, we discuss the “300-call syndrome,” the risk of missing red flags after too many routine hang-ups, and the practical skills that matter most: active listening, reading background noise, trusting instincts, and knowing when to insist on a second unit.This conversation also honors the rare moments of closure that keep people going—the infant saved over the phone who grows up and stays in touch—and the quieter calls that reveal unmet needs, like elders who call because they're lonely. If you care about first responder mental health, emergency communications, crisis intervention, and trauma-informed practice, this is a grounded, real-world look at where help truly begins: the first call.

Have an episode suggestion? Text us!We live in a world that is obsessed with asking, “Why am I like this?” and “Why are they like this?” Trauma, childhood wounds, addiction, nervous systems, attachment. All important pieces of the puzzle. But at some point, just understanding the why stops moving your life forward. It can quietly turn into a hall pass for staying stuck.In this episode, Matt and Paige talk about the missing piece in so many trauma and addiction conversations. The how. How do you start responding differently when your nervous system is wired for survival. How do you stop pouring your pain onto your kids and partner. How do you move from “this is why I am the way I am” to “this is what I am going to do about it.”Together they explore: • Why insight and validation alone do not rebuild a marriage or keep you sober • How too much compassion without boundaries can keep both spouses and addicts in victim mode • Practical ways to create a pause between reaction and response, especially with kids • What it really looks like to break generational patterns, even when it feels unfair and impossible • Why you do not have to fully understand your trauma before you start healing itIf you are tired of overanalyzing, tired of feeling broken, and ready to actually do something different, this conversation will challenge you and remind you that you are not powerless.Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comSupport the Show:Buy Us a Coffee!Online Program: www.independentlystrong.comSoberlink Device:www.soberlink.com/wheelsCheck out our blog:https://twfo.com/blogFollow us on TikTok:https://tiktok.com/@twfo_coupleFollow us on Instagram:https://instagram.com/twfo_couple/Follow us on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/TWFOCoupleFollow us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@twfo_coupleFind Taylor Counseling Group:https://taylorcounselinggroup.com/Donate to Counseling for the Future Foundation:Donate Here

Send us a textWhat if that sudden emotional storm isn't manipulation but a nervous system crying out for safety? We dive into borderline personality disorder with open eyes and open hands, mapping the path from trauma to dysregulation and from stigma to skills. Drawing on clinical experience and brain science, we explain why BPD often feels like living with emotional third-degree burns: an amygdala that fires at shadows, a prefrontal cortex that goes offline when stress peaks, and an insula that amplifies empathy and pain. It's a tough mix—high emotion, high sensitivity, low regulation—but it's not a life sentence.We get practical about what actually helps. Hear how dialectical behavior therapy teaches distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness in a way that builds the “wise mind,” the space where logic meets compassion. We talk about EMDR for trauma memory processing, attachment-based therapy for early wounds, and where medication fits for co-occurring anxiety or depression. We also get real about the work: progress is possible and common with consistent treatment, yet it takes time, repetition, and support. Along the way, we highlight the overlooked strengths many with BPD carry—fierce loyalty, deep intuition, and profound empathy—and how those traits become assets when paired with regulation skills.If you love someone with BPD, your role matters. Consistency counters abandonment fear, kind boundaries protect both sides, and small wins deserve big celebrations. We share clear, usable strategies so relationships feel less like a battlefield and more like a safe place to grow. For those living with BPD, you are more than a diagnosis, and your brain can learn new patterns. Hope isn't abstract; it looks like sessions, skills, steady people, and a growing sense of self that isn't defined by the past.Press play, bring your questions, and stay for the tools. If the conversation helps, share it with a friend, subscribe for more trauma-informed episodes, and leave a review to help others find their way to hope.You ARE:SEEN KNOWN HEARD LOVED VALUED

She breaks down why more kids are in counseling today, why increased services haven't solved the problem, and what actually helps kids build resilience. You'll learn how to speak hope into a child who feels overwhelmed. Dr. Kathy gives insight to call out strengths when mental health feels like a defining label. Wayne and Dr. Kathy also explain how faith reframes weakness as a place for God's strength to shine.

In this BraveCo live Q&A, I sit down with a few brave men who are willing to ask the questions most guys keep to themselves. We talk honestly about what it looks like to stop abandoning yourself in marriage, how to confront fear without becoming controlling, and how to show up as a powerful man without losing connection at home.I answer a vulnerable question from a married man who keeps falling back into “doormat” patterns and feels exhausted from replaying old relational trauma in a new relationship. We unpack the difference between serving from love vs. abandoning yourself from fear, what it means to be two powerful people in a marriage, and how to build real skills in conflict, boundaries, and communication. I also share why you cannot heal relational trauma outside of relationship and give practical language you can start using today.Later in the episode, I address how I would counsel a woman in her 20s who struggles with pornography and why investing in expert help for addiction is one of the most important decisions you can make. We talk about porn as a fake solution to real pain, how to rewire your brain, and why good friends aren't always good guides. We finish by talking with a close friend about time management, discipline, and how to control what you can control without becoming rigid and angry at the world. If you're a man who wants to grow stronger in marriage, purity, and purpose, this episode is for you.Chapters:00:00 – Introduction00:28 – Live Q&A Kickoff and First Caller Introduction01:01 – “I Keep Becoming a Doormat in My Marriage”03:21 – Two Powerful People: Honesty, Needs & Fear of Disappointment07:00 – Building Communication & Boundary Skills as a Man11:12 – Healing Relational Trauma Inside Relationship14:40 – Counseling a Woman in Her 20s Who Struggles with Porn16:39 – Why You Need Expert Help for Addiction (Not Just Good Friends)19:36 – Time Management, Discipline & Things You Can't Control23:37 – Flexibility, Purpose & Final Encouragement to Brave MenCONNECT WITH BRAVECOWebsite: https://www.braveco.org/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/braveco.menInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/braveco.men/Shop: https://shop.braveco.org/ ABOUT BRAVECO: We live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood.

Have an episode suggestion? Text us!Replay. Originally aired in July 2024. We're bringing this back because the tools here (resilience, boundaries, timelines, and real talk about equal partnership) stay relevant.This is an episode designed more like a charcuterie board than a main course. We discuss Independently Strong because we don't think we've really ever done a great job at communicating what it's about and the value to someone in a relationship with a person struggling with addiction. We then get onto topics that are beneficial to you right here, right now. We discuss emotional resilience and ways to increase resilience through mental frameworks, as well as self-care activities. When you feel like you've given all you can in life, remember that you have survived 100% of your hardest days and you're actually MUCH stronger than you think.Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comSupport the Show:Buy Us a Coffee!Online Program: www.independentlystrong.comSoberlink Device:www.soberlink.com/wheelsCheck out our blog:https://twfo.com/blogFollow us on TikTok:https://tiktok.com/@twfo_coupleFollow us on Instagram:https://instagram.com/twfo_couple/Follow us on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/TWFOCoupleFollow us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@twfo_coupleFind Taylor Counseling Group:https://taylorcounselinggroup.com/Donate to Counseling for the Future Foundation:Donate Here
