Through his unique insights, Ben shares how confronting trauma and embracing empathy are essential for true healing.This conversation is for anyone grappling with their own inner battles or seeking to make peace with past traumas. Together, we uncover practical steps to break free from self-deception, build meaningful connections, and find empathy not only for others but also for ourselves. Join us as we unpack a new approach to healing—one that is unfiltered, authentic, and ultimately empowering. ℹ️ About this Guest Ben "Doc" Askins is a former combat medic and psychiatric physician assistant with nearly two decades of experience in trauma care and therapy.

In late August of 2020 the Kentucky State Police Special Response Team attempted to execute search and arrest warrants on a family compound in Johnson Hollow, a heavily wooded and very rural area of Kentucky.  The suspect, who was being sought on potential murder and drug related charges, had hiding locations and weapons throughout the compound and had built a series of hardened firing positions from which to attack officers.  In the 48 hours that followed, the team would have two Officer involved shootings with two different suspects all on the same compound.  This event would stretch the team and its resources to their limits, yet the team rose to the challenge yielding a successful outcome despite almost impossible conditions. This case provides numerous lessons learned and teaching points about rural operations and the dangers of unexpected challenges.  My guests today are Sgt. Heath Ayers and Trooper Logan Smith from the Kentucky State Police Special Response Team.  LinksTwo fatally shot in KSP involved shootings in Knox County | News | thetimestribune.comhttps://www.clayconews.com/news/16719-suspect-fatally-injured-in-2nd-officer-involved-shooting-in-knox-county-ky-victim-in-1st-shooting-identified Books RecommendedFearless: The Undaunted Courage and Ultimate Sacrifice of Navy SEAL Team SIX Operator Adam Brown by Eric Blehm - ISBN-13: 978-0307730695On Combat: The Psychology and Physiology of Deadly Conflict in War and in Peace by Dave Grossman & Loren W.

At least 68 journalists and media workers have been killed in the first 10 weeks of the Israel-Gaza war, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. No other conflict has taken so many journalists' lives in such a short timeframe, with Palestinian journalists in Gaza accounting for the vast majority of the victims. FRANCE 24's Erin Ogunkeye spoke to Tim Dawson, Deputy General Secretary of the International Federation of Journalists, about these killings and the widespread claims that journalists are being deliberately targeted by the Israeli military.

We all experience acute stress. Sometimes on a daily basis. In this episode Jeremy breaks down acute stress and talks about the anatomy and physiology of stress. He reviews a theory on how highly stressful situations can affect our thinking and performance. He also points out how a certain amount of acute stress is actually helpful.   Here are some of the things you'll learn on this show: The anatomy of stress – what role does each part of the body play? (4:08) A theory of the psychology and physiology of stress. (11:01) The right amount of stress can actually be a motivator and enhance performance. (13:48) The BVM acronym provides strategies for handling stress. (15:45)   Resources: David Grossman –On Combat: The Psychology and Physiology of Deadly Conflict in War and in Peace by Lt.-Col.

For Afghans like Fawad Nazami, life under the Taliban would be a fate 'worse than death.' Nazami is a political counselor at the Afghan embassy in Washington D.C. He told NPR this week he would never return to an Afghanistan under Taliban rule. Now, that same Afghanistan confronts a deadly new reality: the emergence of ISIS-K, which claimed responsibility for this week's attack that killed 13 Americans and dozens of Afghan civilians. Seth Jones with the Center for Strategic and International Studies explains how the group fits into the complex picture of Afghanistan, where the Taliban is still trying to gain international recognition. Mina Al-Lami, a BBC expert on extremist messaging, has been following their efforts. In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment that will help you make sense of what's going on in your community.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.

PODCAST: This week, schools across Myanmar re-opened after a year of closure, but parents were reluctant to send their children back to school. There have been bombings at schools around the country, and hundreds of thousands of teachers boycotting their jobs. What will happen to children's education? This story is by journalists from Frontier Myanmar. Doh Athan is a weekly podcast which looks at human rights issues from around Myanmar. It is made by Frontier with media partners from around the country. Doh Athan is made through a partnership with Fondation Hirondelle and the support of our donors.

Teenagers are on the frontlines of the conflict in Myanmar, and young children are showing signs of trauma. This week’s podcast looks at the effect of the ongoing violence on children.

“I think I should kill you”.  So began one especially fraught encounter in Hugh Pope’s critically acclaimed memoir, Dining with Al Qaeda, now out in an updated edition. He joins Olga Oliker as co-host-turned-guest for this week’s episode to reflect on how his three decades of reporting in the broader Middle East remain relevant for Western readers grappling to understand it today.  Olga and Hugh then reflect on the year that was and how COVID-19 became a phenomenon that has both disrupted life as we knew it and accelerated broader geopolitical trends. While physical borders have been reinforced and personal horizons shrunk to the here and now, the unprecedented reality of lockdown in a digital era has also allowed for a reimagined sense of identity and community.  What big questions remain to be unpacked on War & Peace in 2021?

USIP launched two publications—"Why Burma’s Peace Efforts have Failed to End its Internal Wars” and “The Arakan Army in Myanmar: Deadly Conflict Rises in Rakhine State”—which explore the implications of the deadly conflict in Rakhine State, as well as possible new directions for ending Myanmar’s internal wars.

Joe Biden made the statement recently that Law Enforcement Officers should deescalate situations by shooting people in the leg. Do you agree? Should Police officers train to shoot people in the leg? It's a fair question.In this episode of the Livingston Parish Thread, I discuss some of my thoughts and I refer to Lt. Col. Dave Grossman and Loren W. Christensen's book “On Combat.” – The Psychology and Physiology of Deadly Conflict in War and Peace. Grossman is a former Army Ranger, Paratrooper, West Point Psychology Professor and author of the classic book, On Killing. Grossman is currently the Director of Killology Research Group and one of the world's foremost experts in the field of human aggression and the psychology of combat. 

In this episode, we interview Lieutenant Colonel Dave Grossman (Ret.). He is a renowned and sought-after speaker, and the author of the seminal works On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society and On Combat: The Psychology and Physiology of Deadly Conflict in War and in Peace, as well as many other books. In this episode, we discuss his brand-new book On Spiritual Combat: 30 Missions for Victorious Warfare, how he came up with the concept of the Sheepdog, what leads to school shootings, why most people are afraid of violence, how to make sure churches are safe, and much more!

This is the first of two pods I've recorded with Lt. Col. Dave Grossman - a former US Army Ranger, paratrooper, and Psychology Professor.  He is the author of On Combat: The Psychology and Physiology of Deadly Conflict in War and in Peace; a book that describes coping strategies for the physiological and psychological effects of violence for people forced to kill in their line of work.  On Combat has become a popular book in the Emergency Medicine community. It turns out there are plenty of parallels between the sharp-end of healthcare and the battlefield. This podcast put On Combat on the EM map. This is my talk titled My Mental Toughness Manifesto which On Combat had a huge influence on. In this first episode we discuss the relationship between physiological arousal and performance, and the concept of stress inoculation. Enjoy! Robbie Ponder_Med

Retired Army Lieutenant Colonel and renown author Dave Grossman essentially created the field of killology. His books On Killing and On Combat have made an entire generation of military, law enforcement, and first responders more ready for the stressful, sometimes violent situations they face. Long after his active duty career, Dave has continued to teach the stress-response techniques outlined in his books, traveling to hundreds of bases, posts, and precincts over the years. In this episode, you discover what happens in the body during combat. Visual distortion, auditory exclusion, memory distortion, vasoconstriction, and loss of bladder control are all physiological effects that Soldiers and law enforcement personnel experience in extreme stress but rarely prepare for. Dave Grossman's books and instruction prepare combatants and protectors for the challenge of face-to-face violent stress and infuse confidence in those who have never experienced it before. If you have a team who might face violent stress one day, they need to hear this conversation. Personally, I can tell you that reading On Killing and On Combat made me more prepared for my own combat experience. I invite you to do the same.

Use of force is a hotly debated topic in this country.  Police use of force can shock the conscience of society.  Law enforcement agencies are looking for ways to reduce use of force and at the same time maintaining control of the situation. Having the necessary skill sets to be able to handle the situation appropriately with minimal injuries to the officer and suspect. Thom and Chris continue to discuss use of force issues within law enforcement by focusing on physical training.  Their insightful discussion includes the evolution and prevalence of mixed martial arts and the necessity for police use of force to evolve.  Additionally, Thom and Chris discuss perceptual distortions including tunnel vision,  auditory exclusion, depth perception, and memory loss.  Training that includes the use of scenario based training based on real world force events - including scenarios when force is not used at all provide officers and security professionals skills needed make quick decisions and to win the fight when force is necessary.   References   On Combat: The Psychology and Physiology of Deadly Conflict in War and in Peace by Dave Grossman   Tony Blauer: https://blauerspear.com/   Law Enforcement Academy – www.lawenforcementacademy.org Law Enforcement Academy on Facebook – www.facebook.com/LEAPodcast     Don’t forget to Subscribe on iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher Radio, TuneIn Feel Free to Share on Facebook, LinkedIn, and other social media

Shane is nationally certified as a Sport Psychology Consultant and a licensed mental health clinician in the state of Colorado.  Having worked in community non-profit mental health since 2008, Shane has gained experience working with the entire spectrum of mental disorders and with all populations and age groups.  Shane plans on attending a Ph.D program in Counseling Psychology where his interest in Resiliency, Mental Toughness, and Mindfulness Training Program Development can be explored and further developed. He is a life-long athlete having competed at various levels in more than a dozen different sports.  Because of his passion for warrior cultures of past and present, Shane has been ardently developing his own “Warriorship,” training in various forms of Martial Arts for 25 years.  Shane feels that the self-discipline, the philosophy of non-violence, the innumerable mental and physical benefits, and the enjoyment that he gains from the Martial Arts is what helped drive his passion in the field of Psychology. His personal interest in Eastern Philosophy stems from his adoption of a Buddhist lifestyle and blends well with his training in Western Psychological Science.  Clients describe Shane as an out-of-the-box clinician that is easy to get along with, knowledgeable on a variety of topics, credible with lived experience, and as having the ability to make therapy fun and interesting.

ATTENDEES Lt. Col. Dave Grossman / Josh Hockett / Walker Show Notes Lt. Col. Dave Grossman: Bio - Lt. Col. Dave Grossman is an internationally-recognized author, scholar, soldier and speaker. He is one of the most sought after experts in the field of human aggression, the causes of violence and violent crimes. He is a former West Point psychology professor, Professor of Military Science, and Army Ranger. Using his experiences and knowledge of killing in war, the psychological costs of war, the causes of violent crimes, and the process of healing those who fall victim to violence, Col. Grossman coined a new field of scientific study termed “killology”. Col. Grossman is the author of the books On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society and On Combat: The Psychology and Physiology of Deadly Conflict in War and in Peace. Col. Grossman presents evidence that humans have a fear of killing and committing violent acts. Therefore, soldiers must be specifically trained to not only kill, but learn and understand the physiological and psychological reactions before, during, and after using lethal force. Col. Grossman has presented at more than one hundred colleges and universities worldwide and is highly sought after for training law enforcement and first responders at the state and federal level throughout the United States and the worldwide. In this episode, we discuss the following questions and topics with Col. Grossman: How did you begin your research in the psychology and understanding of killing in war? Explain reality-based training and how it helps soldiers and first responders perform during high-stress situations. Is there a connection between how physically fit a soldier is and his or her ability to perform and recover from high stress situations? What are your suggestions for mentally and physically preparing soldiers and first responders for the job? What are your suggestions for those trying to recover from having to kill in the line of duty? For more information on Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, check out the following: http://www.killology.com/

In this episode, Susan interviews Mel Duncan, the Founding Director and Director of Advocacy and Outreach of Nonviolent Peace Force (NP) which provides unarmed civilian protection in the world's most deadliest of conflicts. In this moving account of the power of “the third side”, Mel talks about those who put themselves in harms way, both nationals and internationals, in conflicts in S. Sudan, Colombia, the Philippines and elsewhere. Mel also talks about how 90% of current victims of current warfare are women and children. Rape, for instance, has become a central strategy of most violent conflict today and NP has tremendous success in stopping further atrocities as Mel describes. He reflects on the origins of NP, as well as his own life path to begin this work when first challenged by a Sufi teacher to “enter the heart of his enemy and work from a place of unity”. He was then further inspired to continue by his stay with Thich Nat Hahn at Plum Village in Southern France.

Humanitas Visiting Professor in Statecraft and Diplomacy 2013: Gareth Evans The Humanitas Chair in Statecraft and Diplomacy has been made possible by the generous support of Mrs Angelika Diekmann. Professor the Hon Gareth Evans AC QC FASSA (Chancellor of the Australian National University) will give a series of three public lectures and a concluding symposium. Abstract Are there any grounds for believing that, when it comes to violent conflict between and within states, the world – contrary to daily media reporting, and nearly all our instincts – is in fact becoming safer and saner? If that really is the trend, what are its foundations, and what can be done to reinforce it? Gareth Evans will draw in this lecture on his long experience in conflict prevention and resolution, in particular as Australian Foreign Minister (1988-96) and President of the International Crisis Group (2000-09).
