On this episode of The Debrief we are going to be looking at Post Traumatic Stress and Post Traumatic Growth.  These are two topics that I am extremely passionate about because, as you might imagine, each incident we cover on The Debrief has had a profound effect on everyone involved.  Over the years that I have been working with teams and the years I have hosted this show I have seen people destroyed by their experiences.  Yet I have also seen others use the trauma they endured to build a stronger, happier and more purposeful version of themselves.   Although I have certainly seen patterns, I have always wondered what separated these two groups of people, which is why I wanted to have this discussion on Post Traumatic Growth.  Simply put there is a LOT we can do to prepare for and respond to traumatic incidents that will reduce the fallout to those involved.All of my guests today have a different perspective on Post traumatic growth.  Dr. Richard Tedeschi is the world's foremost authority on Post Traumatic Growth and literally coined the expression.  His work forms the foundation for most PTG programs.  Josh Goldberg is the CEO of Boulder Crest Foundation, a nonprofit whose Warrior Path and Struggle Well programs have reached over 100,000 people.And Finally Chief Chad Kasmar is the current Chief of Police in Tucson Arizona.  Following the suicide of a friend and former fellow officer Chad has led a revolution in the way his city prepares and supports their staff for traumatic incidents.  He has a truly unique perspective on the implementation of these types of programs.I hope you enjoy this deep dive into Post Traumatic Growth and that this episode inspires you and your agencies to improve on the way we prepare and treat our warriors and first responders. Resources: Boulder Crest Foundation – www.bouldercrest.org Boulder Crest: Reborn - Boulder Crest Foundation Presents: Reborn - YouTube

I would love to hear how this episode impacted you.In this episode of Shields Down: Healing for First Responders, we explore the critical role of self-awareness and emotional intelligence in navigating the intense pressures of emergency response work.

Discover how building self-awareness can prevent burnout, reduce compassion fatigue, and strengthen interpersonal communication—all of which contribute to a more resilient and effective first responder.This episode also includes a guided "Emotional Check-In" exercise, designed to help first responders enhance self-regulation, recognize emotional patterns, and apply mindfulness techniques in real-time scenarios. Whether you're on the front lines or supporting those who serve, this episode provides actionable tools to improve emotional resilience, strengthen mental health, and cultivate empathy in high-pressure situations.

Daria Burke is an author, executive, and healer-at-heart. She's also a grandchild grieving for her grandmother and a daughter estranged from her parents. In this episode, Daria shares the profound impact of losing her maternal grandmother at age seven and how that early loss reverberated through her life. This loss and grief exist alongside the immense healing she's done around growing up in poverty, childhood trauma, and her parents' absences, addictions, and the eventual estrangement from them. With the recent release of her memoir, Of My Own Making, Daria opens up about the moment, decades later, that reawakened the grief for her grandmother - finding a newspaper article about her fatal car accident. That discovery, and ensuing grief, started a new chapter in Daria's healing process. In our conversation, we talk about inherited trauma, the emotional weight of estrangement, the invisible grief of childhood neglect, Daria's healing practices, and how she  stays connected to her grandmother through what she calls “love taps.” Key Topics: What role Daria's grandmother played in her early childhood The ongoing impacts of childhood grief and unprocessed trauma How truth-telling is part of healing The collective grief she grew up around in Detroit of the 1980's Uncovering the grief she buried after her grandmother died Grieving for family members who are still alive Grief Practices Daria Shares: Giving herself permission to cry freely Meditative practices to connect with her grandmother Volunteering on holidays and creating new rituals Finding signs from her grandmother in the world around her Daria Burke is an American writer, speaker and award-winning business leader. A marketer by trade and a seeker at heart, Daria is a storyteller and sense-maker, weaving together personal experience and the science of healing and transformation to explore new ways of understanding how we choose who we become. This passion led her to complete Dr. Tara Swart's Neuroscience for Business course at MIT and Positive Psychology and Well-Being at Stanford, taught by Dr. Daryn Reicherter, an international expert in trauma psychiatry.  Her debut memoir, OF MY OWN MAKING (April 2025) explores trauma, neuroplasticity, and Post-Traumatic Growth through the lens of her own healing journey. Kiese Laymon called it “as profound a book about the treacherous experience of befriending ourselves as I've read this decade.” Part memoir, part methodology, OF MY OWN MAKING blends personal narrative with scientific insight, Daria inspires readers to reimagine the narratives that define their lives.

I would love to hear how this episode impacted you.In this episode, we dive deep into how to manage emotional triggers effectively by understanding their impact and learning practical strategies to regain control over emotional responses. We'll explore the best coping strategies for emotional reactivity, helping listeners break free from automatic responses like anxiety, anger, or avoidance.To start, we'll define what emotional triggers are, including specific memories, situations, or stimuli that evoke intense emotional reactions. Since many of these triggers are linked to past trauma and emotional triggers, they can create overwhelming automatic responses. Breaking the cycle of emotional reactivity begins with recognizing these patterns and developing healthier ways to respond.Next, we'll uncover how the brain processes emotional triggers, focusing on the role of the amygdala in emotional responses and how it signals threats, activating the fight-or-flight response. Listeners will gain insight into why emotional responses can feel so intense and how survival-based brain wiring can override rational thought. Through mindfulness techniques for emotional regulation, individuals can train their brains to manage these reactions more effectively.We'll also introduce a step-by-step guide to emotional trigger mapping, where listeners will identify their top three emotional triggers, analyze their emotional and physical responses, and create a trigger action plan. This strategy includes recognizing early warning signs, practicing mindfulness techniques for emotional regulation, and using journaling to track progress.By the end of this episode, you'll have practical tools for understanding emotional triggers and a clear plan to enhance your emotional resilience strategies. Whether you're struggling with trauma and automatic responses or simply want to build better emotional control, this episode will provide the guidance you need.Tune in now and start your journey toward emotional mastery!Get your FREE "Personal Action Plan" click the linkhttps://www.ptsd-transformation.com/personalized-action-planSupport the showOptions For Connection:Websitehttps://www.ptsd-transformation.com/Instagram https://www.instagram.com/shields_down/Private Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/ptsdtransformationacademyFree PDF "Understanding Your PTSD: Go from Surviving to Thriving"https://www.ptsd-transformation.com/understand-ptsd-pdf Free Monthly Newsletters (Right to your inbox)https://www.ptsd-transformation.com/newsletteroptin Support is hereptsdtransformation@gmail.com DisclaimerI want to remind you that this Podcast is my opinion and my teachings, in no way does it replace a licenced Mental health professional, if you feel that you are in a place where you need that support reach out to someone and get it.

Grief, adversity, and trauma are common, formative human experiences that people move through and grow from. Yet, we often avoid talking about this process, making it harder to understand how people make meaning from grief. Posttraumatic Growth (PTG) offers us a paradigm for how to make sense of hard experiences and move forward in ways that deepen our connections with ourselves and each other. In this episode, teens share their stories and we hear from Dr. Taryn Greene, a research psychologist who works with the Boulder Crest Foundation to study PTG.  Check out Boulder Crest's PTG story challenge, with opportunities to win funding to share your story.

The Unexpected Gift of Trauma: Finding Growth After Pain with Dr. Edith Shiro In this episode, you'll hear:  Practical steps to move from trauma to post-traumatic growth Tips for identifying a support group that truly aids your healing journey How generational trauma is passed down through genetics and the power you have to break the cycle Dr. Edith Shiro is a highly respected clinical psychologist, author, and speaker specializing in trauma and post-traumatic growth. She co-founded the Trauma and Resilience Center in Miami, Florida, and is the author of The Unexpected Gift of Trauma: The Path to Post-Traumatic Growth. As the granddaughter of a Holocaust survivor and a Syrian refugee, Dr. Shiro's personal history deeply informs her work, inspiring her mission to help individuals break cycles of generational trauma. Growing up as a Jewish woman in Venezuela before immigrating to the U.S. to pursue her education and career, she embodies resilience and transformation.  In this episode, Mathew, Dr. Dave Leicken, and Dr. Edith Shiro dive into the complex and deeply personal topic of generational trauma, exploring how it is not only passed down through learned behaviors but is embedded in our genetics. Dr. Shiro shares the stages needed to get to post-traumatic growth, starting with radical acceptance of one's experiences. They explore the idea that trauma, though painful, can hold unexpected gifts. The conversation sheds light on the inevitability of trauma as part of the human experience, how its impact is deeply subjective, and what it takes to shift from suffering to growth. They also discuss the importance of timing, knowing when you're truly ready to heal, and the difference between letting go and not caring. Finally, they address the critical role of support, distinguishing between helpful and harmful support groups and how to recognize if the people you turn to are aiding your healing or keeping you stuck in pain. “Let's understand what trauma is…Anything that can happen to you that shakes or shatters your belief system about yourself, about the other, about the world, for which you don't have tools or you don't have resources to deal with.” -Dr. Shiro “Time is a myth because you can't say ‘Time heals all'. It's what you do with time.” - Dr. Shiro “Yes we get passed on traumas, but we also get passed on treasures, and we also get passed on wisdom.” -Dr. Shiro Follow the podcast:  Listen on Apple Podcasts (link: https://apple.co/3s1YH7h)  Listen on iHeart (link: https://ihr.fm/3MEY7FM)  Listen on Spotify (Link: https://spoti.fi/3yMmQCE)    Resources: The Unexpected Gift of Trauma: The Path to Posttraumatic Growth By Dr. Edith Shiro Dr. Edith Shiro's Website Dr. Dave Leicken   Connect with Mathew Blades:  Twitter - twitter.com/MathewBlades Instagram - instagram.com/MathewBladesmedia/  Facebook - facebook.com/mathewbladesmedia/  Website - learnfrompeoplewholivedit.com/   Additional Credits: LFPWLI is managed by IMS LLC   A note from our partner, Better Than Bitter:   Divorce isn't just a life transition - it's a full-blown identity shift.

What if your trauma doesn't count you out, but actually gives you superpowers to achieve more than you ever thought possible? In this enlightening conversation, clinical psychologist Dr. Charlynn Ruan shares her expertise on women's mental health, especially for high-achieving women and female founders. She explains how trauma can become a catalyst for growth rather than a limitation, discusses the unique mental health challenges women face throughout different life stages, and offers practical advice for ADHD, insomnia, and reaching peak performance. Dr. Ruan provides insight into how our brains process trauma and how treatments like EMDR can help release trapped trauma. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, sleep issues, or simply want to optimize your performance, this episode offers valuable guidance on understanding your brain and body to create strategies that work for you. KEY TAKEAWAYS → Trauma can be a powerful catalyst for growth rather than a limitation - Post-Traumatic Growth is real. When we use difficult experiences to grow, we can become "wiser, faster, smarter" and accomplish incredible things. → EMDR therapy helps process trapped trauma by moving memories from the reactive amygdala to the "filing cabinet" hippocampus, making them less triggering. → Women's sleep struggles often stem from biological differences, hormonal fluctuations during perimenopause, and evolutionary roles as caregivers - understanding these factors is crucial for finding effective solutions. → ADHD presents differently in women than men, often overlooked because symptoms don't match the hyperactive stereotype - adult women with ADHD frequently internalize shame messages about being "lazy," "messy," or "unable to follow through." → High-achieving women need to treat themselves like race cars with proper maintenance and support teams - it's not about slowing down but ensuring all systems are optimized for sustained performance. QUOTES FROM DR. CHARLYNN RUAN "You know you have trauma if you feel like sometimes you lose your free will. You're walking along in the world, you see something, and then all of a sudden you interact with somebody, and then you feel like a child—feel like a child as opposed to the powerful woman that you are." "I see you're a race car, and the answer isn't going to be tootling down the back lane, but you have to know that you can't have these loose bolts on your car rattling, because that's going to cause a crash. Get early about listening to what your nervous system needs." CONNECT WITH DR.

Dr. Thema Bryant, a psychologist and minister, integrates faith and science to advocate for holistic healing and resilience, a perspective deeply influenced by her personal journey and family background. With roots in her father's pastoral counseling and her mother's mental health journey, Dr. Bryant believes in the profound potential of restoration and the reclamation of joy and trust, particularly after trauma. Her experiences as a trauma survivor inform her unique approach, which emphasizes learning from past mistakes and seeking wisdom from those with healthy relationships to foster true healing. Through her work, including her book "Matters of the Heart," Dr. Bryant underscores the transformative power of turning personal pain into empowerment and the importance of authentic, loving relationships in the journey to healing. Key takeaways: - Pain can birth purpose and lead to empowerment and healing through sharing personal stories. - Breaking the stigma around mental health, therapy, and faith is essential for seeking help without shame or judgment. - Trauma survivors can reclaim joy, trust, intimacy, and confidence through self-exploration and healthy relationships. - Anxiety and insecurity can hinder genuine connections in relationships by promoting emotional unavailability and false intimacy. - Self-awareness and humility are key in recognizing and changing persistent relationship patterns for personal growth. - True fulfillment comes from living authentically, nurturing loving relationships, and investing in mutual, reciprocal connections. - Balancing emotional and spiritual well-being involves practicing mutuality and reciprocity in relationships to support personal growth and deepen connections.

I explore the fascinating concept of post-traumatic growth and how it's available to all of us, including widows. Post-traumatic growth doesn't mean being grateful for your loss or minimizing your pain. It's about intentionally creating more meaning, purpose, and fulfillment in your life after a traumatic event.   I share powerful sentences that can help foster post-traumatic growth, the thoughts that can hold you back, and reflective questions to guide you on this journey.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.coachingwithkrista.com/297
