Send us a textLieutenant Colonel Dave Grossman brings decades of expertise to this powerful conversation about the psychology of violence, trauma response, and the vital role corrections professionals play in society.Drawing from his groundbreaking research that shaped books like "On Combat" and "On Killing," Grossman frames correctional officers as society's essential "sheepdogs" – those who willingly face danger so others don't have to. "They are truly God's agent to do good in this world," he reflects, highlighting how corrections work balances public safety with offering second chances at redemption.The discussion delves deep into practical tools for managing the unique psychological challenges of corrections work. From techniques to prevent PTSD (like controlled breathing exercises and using water as an emotional "reset button") to cognitive behavioral strategies for managing stress reactions, Grossman offers actionable insights born from his extensive research. He emphasizes the importance of self-control: "Nobody ever respects our temper tantrum; they respect our calm."Most surprising is Grossman's compelling research on sleep deprivation, revealing how inadequate sleep dramatically increases risks for PTSD, depression, and suicide – crucial information for those working overtime and irregular shifts. His practical sleep hygiene recommendations aren't merely for comfort but potentially life-saving interventions for professionals regularly exposed to trauma.Throughout the conversation runs a thread of purpose and meaning. "Sometimes the greatest love is not to sacrifice your life but to live a life of sacrifice," Grossman notes, validating the profound impact of daily corrections work that often goes unrecognized by society. Whether preventing crime, facilitating rehabilitation, or protecting communities, corrections professionals provide an essential service worthy of recognition and support.Ready to better understand the psychological impacts of your work and discover practical tools for resilience?

“I think we should be profoundly concerned about the woke message being given to our children through our schools.” “The only thing in the world we can control is ourselves. And we give way to bitterness, if we give way to cynicism or complacency or denial, then we've given away the one thing we can control. If you lose your temper, you didn't lose it, you gave it away.” Recent events have shown us there's a force in the process of trying to take away our freedom; our ability to control our children, our families, and our communities. Even our beliefs. But ultimately these events have only served as a wakeup call. This force is not winning. It's clear that the majority will not stand by to allow this to unfold. But the way forward is standing up for the principles that support our basic human nature and promote the virtue that strengthens every aspect of our selves and our society. Lt Colonel David Grossman is a decorated soldier, Westpoint psychology professor, husband and father, and a man of faith. He's seen the battle ground and he understands the strength of a man and a society that fights with virtue for truth and freedom. He knows that a man's freedom is ultimately maintained by his virtuous principles, not his government. He's written several books, including the Amazon best seller, On Killing (Marine Core Commandants required reading), On Combat, and the soon to be released, On Hunting. He's trained military and law enforcement around the world. Dave's advice for how to empower your masculinity: Get control of your life and promote healthy sleep for your self and your family. Identify the things you can do in a violent world. Learn how to handle a weapon and know how to use it virtuously. Don't live in fear. Get control of your children, their training and education. Get control of local politics, school boards. Invest in their education and future through faith based, private education. Live a virtuous life. Build a virtuous family. Some of Dave's other books are; On Combat, On Spiritual Combat, Sheepdog (kids book), and his latest book, soon to be published is, On Hunting.

One area of particular interest is the impact of sleep deprivation on individuals and society. He likens sleep deprivation to intoxication and points out some of the most power aspects of our society that are intent on dragging people into the trap of sleep deprivation. Expert action steps: You've got to get control of your mind and body. Remove distractions like alcohol, cell phones, laptops, binge watching, too much caffeine… Control your world.

Lt Col Dave Grossman the founder of Grossman On Truth, a former US Army Infantry Officer and Ranger, West Point Psychology Professor, and the founder of killology. Killology is a relatively new field of scientific study focused on the psychology of having to take a life on the battlefield, which not only includes war zones abroad, but the one many of our law enforcement brothers and sisters face every day. He has written numerous books and publications on the topic like his well known books On Combat, and On Killing and is globally known as the subject matter expert on dealing with violence in a violent world. He has testified before congress, been an expert witness in high profile cases like the Timothy McVeigh trial and has trained countless mental health, law enforcement, and military professionals globally. He has advised presidents on topics revolving around violent video games and media and is also, and most importantly, a man of God. His book On Spiritual Combat provides insight into the spiritual war raging around us all the time, and how we can equip ourselves through the word to fight this battle as warriors in Christ.

In this episode of the podcast, I talk with retired Police Sgt. Michael Sugrue. Michael is an Air Force (Security Forces Raven!!) veteran. He was involved in an on-duty shooting that caused incomprehensible PTSD issues that ultimately led to divorce, custody battles, lawsuits, health issues, and suicidal ideations.

¿Qué es un sesgo? La toma de decisiones es una actividad que forma parte de la vida cotidiana de los seres humanos. Estas decisiones se nutren de las creencias, percepciones, sentimientos y pensamientos personales, pero también cuentan con una gran influencia de lo que se conoce como sesgos cognitivos. Los sesgos cognitivos son desarrollados por todas las personas y tratan de auténticos impulsores capaces de modificar radicalmente la forma en que percibimos las cosas, en consecuencia, alterando las decisiones que tomamos en nuestra vida personal, académica o laboral. ¿De dónde aprendimos seguridad? ¡Hollywood! Todavía hoy se toman decisiones de Protección Ejecutiva basadas en lo sesgos que ocasiona Hollywood porque apela a nuestro sesgo de confirmación. Hollywood hace que el cerebro se familiarice con conceptos erróneos de seguridad ¿Qué hace un verdadero protector de personas? En su libro On Combat, el Teniente Coronel Dave Grossman compara a los seres humanos con un rebaño de ovejas, que son realmente incapaces de hacerse daño mutuamente (no tienen una real capacidad de violencia), sin embargo existen lobos, que son la excepción, pero sin embargo existen y se alimentan de las ovejas sin compasión, por lo tanto se creó la necesidad de tener Perros Ovejeros que protejan a las ovejas de los lobos. Las ovejas prefieren vivir en negación, así es la naturaleza de las ovejas, estas pueden aceptar la posibilidad de un incendio, por lo tanto quieren extintores, rehiletes y alarmas en las escuelas de sus hijos. Pero la mayoría se escandalizan si se colocase un guardia armado en la puerta. La probabilidad de que sus hijos sean lastimados a causa de violencia es mil veces mayor a que sufran a causa de un incendio, pero la reacción de las ovejas ante la posibilidad de violencia, generalmente es negación, la idea de que alguien podría lastimar o matar a uno de sus hijos es demasiado dura, por lo tanto prefieren no pensar en eso. Las ovejas generalmente no quieren al Perro Ovejero, se parece demasiado al lobo, tiene colmillos y una gran capacidad de violencia. Sin embargo, la necesidad del Perro Ovejero en México se ha vuelto una realidad, ¿pero que hace realmente a un Perro Ovejero, y no a un perro bravo que se perderá en el ataque? En el momento del conflicto, y cuando la violencia empieza a subir, las emociones empiezan a desbordarse y esto puede tener un gran efecto sobre como las personas ven las cosas. Echando un vistazo a la historia, en la segunda guerra mundial solo de 15 a 20 por ciento de los soldados tuvieron la capacidad de disparar contra el enemigo, para la guerra de Corea esto subió al 50%. ¿Qué cambio? Los métodos de entrenamiento.

I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Michael Sugrue and discuss with him his book, "Relentless Courage, Winning the Battle Against Front Line Trauma".

Covering a book titled On Combat by Lt. Col Dave Grossman, taking lessons on how to develop the Warrior Mindset. 

I met Lt. Col. Dave Grossman in 2002 at a police conference. I attended as a participant after being involved in an officer involved shooting. Lt. Col. Dave Grossman was the presenter and he shared his philosophy of the phycological edge surrounding "police shootings." . Lt. Col. Dave Grossman (retired) is the author of a dozen books including best seller ‘On Killing‘ and ‘On Combat‘. These books deal with the psychological effects of killing and war on soldiers. He was a Professor of Psychology at West Point, a former infantryman, paratrooper, and graduate of the Army's Ranger School. Grossman stands alongside men such as Massad Ayoob, Jeff Cooper, and John Farnham, as a person who has begun conversations and helped laid the groundwork that the modern science of lethal force encounters rests on. He is also known for his popularizing of the term ‘sheepdog' referring to protectors. Parents, Lt. Col. Dave Grossman will shed some light on the truth of cell phones and how video games play a role in violence in our children. His insight into gaming and social media is alarming and should not be taken lightly. It is time to pick a side, are you willing to protect your children at all costs? Come Chase the Vase with Lt. Col. Dave Grossman and I explore tips for our home and communities. Please like, share and comment on this podcast.

Part two of On Combat by Lt. Col. Dave Grossman. The universal human phobia 

Living in a time with great unrest, we all need to examine our ability to survive.  Whether it be a natural disaster, a violent encounter, or a silent attack like sleep deprivation, post traumatic stress,  or the guilt and shame of our past we all need to take inventory as to the skills and knowledge we have to press on during difficult times. My guest today, is (Ret.) Lt. Col. Dave Grossman who has spent his life preparing for the unknown. He served in the military for 24 years as an Army Ranger, and Paratrooper. Additionally, he was a professor of psychology at West Point.  He has been retired for almost as long as he was in the military and still travels the majority of the year training military and law enforcement personnel.  Lt. Col. Grossman studied the psychology of killing and combat and wanted to better understand the topic and educate warriors about what to expect when involved in violent encounters like war and protecting the communities of this Nation. He is the author of On Killing, On Combat, Assassination Generation,  and the children's book, Sheepdogs: Meet our Nations Warriors. Lt. Col. Grossman is a man of faith, and two of his more recent books,  On Spiritual Combat and Bulletproof Marriage address matters or faith and spirituality.The conversation covers a number of topics to include,  increasing murder rates, the conditioning of violence in children, becoming a sheepdog, hope for those dealing with trauma, and the epidemic of sleep deprivation.Killology Website Lt.

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. 

Lieutenant Colonel Dave Grossman is a retired US Army Ranger and paratrooper, and a former West Point Psychology Professor. He is also the director of the Killology Research Group and actually developed the term “killology,” considered the study of the psychological and physiological effects of killing and combat on the human psyche.Anyone in law enforcement and/or the military know Lt Col Grossman for his work on studying combat and killing specifically. Lt Col Grossman I was so pumped to interview Lt Col Dave Grossman as I've been following his work for years. As a new officer and after a major incident, it was suggested to me to read his work On Combat. It was the first book I had ever read that talked about phenomenons such as PTSD, stress, combat breathing, auditory exclusion, and much more. The book really helped me grapple with things that I was dealing with at the time, and made me more resilient.

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. Read more about Dave Grossman's work at Killology Research Group and check out his 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.
