JAMIE MUSTARD & DR. EUGENE LIPOV, a patient and doctor, have written a new book, "The Invisible Machine," which details the history, research and tremendous success of a simple procedure to treat trauma and its devasting effects. The Dual Sympathetic Reset Procedure IDSRP) is a groundbreaking technique which identifies the biological imprint of psychological trauma in the body and treats it. With an enormous success rate, hundreds of patients suffering from PTSD (or PTSI, Post Traumatic Stress Injury) ranging from war, sexual assault, childhood abuse and abandonment have found relief from a lifetime of symptoms.
What an incredible gift Sarah U'Brien has in her ability to openly express her experience supporting her partner, former police and fire fighter, Matt U'Brien throughout the journey of managing the impact that PTSI has had (and continues to have) on their lives. Post Traumatic Stress Injury doesn't just impact the person experiencing it, it impacts those around them who love and care for them, every bit as much. The wives, husbands, partners, children, parents, family, friends. This conversation is one of only 3 amidst my 826 episodes so far that made me cry... and hey, you might want to grab a Kleenex yourself before you hit 'play'. Mental health and mental injury can make the world feel like a lonely and unfamiliar place, even in your very own home. Yet hopefully through people like Sarah who have found the words and resources to share their experiences and their insights, others can find hope, connection and resources to offer a light at the end of the tunnel. Today we hear about PTSI from the perspective of one loving partner & mother, and two young daughters, as they navigate what the changes and circumstances meant for themselves as individuals, for Matt, and for their family as a whole.

Stellate Ganglion Block for PTSDIndividuals may develop PTSD (also called Post Traumatic Stress Injury) from a single or repeated traumatic events. When trauma causes a persistent injury pattern to the nervous system, it can become locked into a permanent protective mode, even in the absence of on-going threat. This can cause a variety of symptoms including:Being "on-guard" all the timeConstant anxiety and fearIntolerance of being around groups of peopleNightmaresIsolation from others physically and emotionallyDifficulty progressing in therapy because talking about the trauma makes you too anxiousWhat is a stellate ganglion block?The sympathetic nervous system (the "fight or flight" part of the nervous system) is organized in front of the spinal column. Along the spine there are nerve bundles referred to as ganglion. Several ganglia are located in the neck, including one in the lower neck called the stellate ganglion. These nerves are special for their connection to brain regions which store and control emotional memories. Injection of local anesthetic around these nerve bundles interrupts the nervous system's constant exaggerated response to emotional trauma. You can think of it like rebooting your computer.How is a stellate ganglion block done?For decades, the procedure was done by feeling for a particular bone in the front of the spine, pushing the carotid artery toward the middle with one hand, and inserting a needle until it contacted bone prior to injection. Later, the procedure was improved by the use of x-ray to verify the correct level of the spine. However, use of x-ray does not allow visualization of important nerves and arteries in the neck.Ultrasound imaging and needle guidance is the gold standard for accuracy and safety, and the only technique Dr. Vogel has used over the last 7 years. The procedure is 1-2 minimally painful injections done in an outpatient setting that takes about 15 minutes.Dr. John Vogel, DODr. John Vogel is an independent pain specialist providing personalized treatment for a wide spectrum of pain conditions. He completed his pain fellowship at Brooke Army Medical Center and his residency at Emory University. Dr. Vogel is board-certified in pain medicine, headache medicine and family medicine.Dr. Vogel served in the Army Medical Department for 39 years. Upon retirement, he established a private direct pay practice in Marietta, GA. He provides the expertise, time and education needed for comprehensive individualized care. He offers the most recent advances in pain management, tailored to each person's concerns and goals.

When the weight of your uniform amplifies the burden of stress, where can you turn? Hayley Rowley, a trauma-trained yoga instructor and former police officer, opens up about her transformative journey from battling PTSD to teaching yoga as a beacon of hope for shift workers. Our conversation peels back the layers of yoga's stereotypes, revealing an inclusive practice with an open invitation to those who serve on the front lines.

We share stories of recovery, growth, and the overlooked necessity of self-care in the policing world. As we uncover the challenges of integrating self-care routines into the lives of those who protect us, we also illuminate the societal shift towards embracing rest and the profound influence that controlled breathwork like the four-seven-eight method can have on our well-being. Together, we cast a lifeline to our listeners, demonstrating how yoga and meditation are not just retreats for the mind, but transformative tools for managing life's relentless tides.Behind every call for help, there's a responder who deserves support, and Frontline Wellness is answering that call by providing free yoga to first responders. We spotlight the power of community, and the catharsis found in shared experiences, through yoga practices tailored to those who know sacrifice all too well. Looking forward, 2024 holds the promise of continued support for the mental health of our everyday heroes. Tune in to hear how the simple acts of moving with intention and breathing with purpose can offer solace and strength amidst the chaos, fostering a future where the term 'Post Traumatic Stress Injury' is not just a diagnosis but a path to recovery.Support the show YOU CAN FIND ME AT Website Facebook Instagram LinkedIn YouTube COACHING One2One Coaching One Off Consults ________________________ FREE E-BOOK - “The best way to eat on Night shift” IN-HOUSE SEMINARS - Enquire Here _____________________ Disclaimer: Roger Sutherland is not a doctor or a medical professional.

Lisa is joined by Eugene Lipov and Jamie Mustard, the authors of The Invisible Machine: The Startling Truth About Trauma and the Scientific Breakthrough That Can Transform Your Life. Lisa here. I have done thousands and thousands of interviews in my 25 year career in television, radio and podcasting in the health realm and THIS BOOK and the TREATMENT it offers for POST TRAUMATIC STRESS INJURY (injury is more accurate than disorder) is mind blowing. If you know ANYONE with the following issues, please have them listen to this interview: PTSI (also known as PTSD) Anxiety Depression Trouble Sleeping Stress Impulsivity Sexual Dysfunction Suicidal Ideation Issues Concentrating Hypervigilance Substance Abuse Numbness Book description. The world has long misunderstood trauma. Now, leading experts in the field have a radical new understanding of post-traumatic stress . . . and a surprising new treatment to reverse it could have profound implications for medicine, mental health, and society. Despite its prevalence, post-traumatic stress, PTSD, is often seen as an unbeatable lifelong mental disorder. However, top trauma doctors and neuroscientists now understand that the result of trauma is not a disorder, but rather a physical injury—and while invisible to the naked eye, the posttraumatic stress injury (PTSI) can now be seen on a scan. Most importantly, the effects of PTSI are reversible. Meet Dr. Eugene Lipov. His research and partnerships have led to an amazing discovery that all trauma has at its root a single piece of human hardware: the sympathetic nervous system, controlling the fight-or-flight response. Anyone who has endured trauma, including long-term microdoses of emotional stress, can have this injury. Dr. Lipov has pioneered a safe, 15-minute procedure that reverses the injury, relieving mild to extreme symptoms of PTSI—irritability, hypervigilance, anxiety, insomnia, and more—for survivors to combat soldiers to the everyday person. Weaving hard science with moving human stories, The Invisible Machine reveals how this treatment was developed. It also tells the incredible story of the unlikely team, including the doctor, an artist, Special Forces leadership, and a sheriff, who are working together to change our understanding of post-traumatic stress and why it matters to society. Coauthored by artist and innovator Jamie Mustard and in collaboration with writer Holly Lorincz, The Invisible Machine weaves hard science with moving stories of warriors, prisoners, and ordinary people to provide a stark new understanding of the human condition. The implications for a better, pain-free world are astounding—and that world could be nearer than we think.

Dr. Eugene Lipov is a renowned board certifiedpain specialist and the inventor of the stellate ganglian block, a miniminally invasive procedure that has been proven effective in treating PTSD symptoms Jamie Mustard is the author of the bestselling book "The Iconist: The Art And Science Of Standing Out". Beginning as a child and then into adulthood he suffered years of trauma at varying levels before being introduced to Dr. Lipov. They explain the science behing DSRP and and its potential to revolutionize the way we treat chronic pain and mentl health issues. Their approac is based on the premise that the sympathetic nervous system which controls our fight or flight response, can become "stuck" in a state of hyperarousal, leading to chronic pain and other debilitating symptoms.

My guest today is a decorated retired police sergeant and friend. He is a former USAF Security Force Captain and a national speaker. He advocates for awareness and education on Post Traumatic Stress Injury for military and first responders. Michael has released his first book titled, "Relentless Courage Winning The Battle Against Frontline Trauma. This country continues to battle through a mental health crisis and trauma is an underlining factor. So many of us who have been on the front lines refuse to seek help. We are not stubborn or old school, we are afraid of what lies beneath. In our minds, we believe that as long as we continue to feed the monster, it will remain pacified and constrained. Unfortunately, this is a fallacy! Relentless Courage, changes the mindset. It flips the script on our "old school thinking." We are trained warriors and we place ourselves in the thick of it, but bravery extends into reaching out to another. Michael has done that! Thank you Michael for the bravery to tell the story of us on the margin. You can secure Michaels book on Amazon. I highly recommend it! Please like, share and comment on this podcast.

Episode 83 of Strong Enough Podcast brings Michael Sugrue, a retired Police Sergeant and veteran turned author and advocate. After experiencing several traumatic events as a police officer, Michael began to feel the weight of the post-traumatic stress taking over his life, leading him to be withdrawn, miserable, and even wishing he would die in the line of duty. Michael has since retired, authored a best-selling book about his life and experiences, and now works to increase awareness around the necessity of mental health wellness for first responders. During this episode, Michael opens up about the struggles he went through dealing with the aftermath of multiple traumas he encountered as a first responder. Michael talks about the challenge of feeling alone and like no one understood or cared what he was going through. Michael's rock bottom and desire to get help came when he learned his best friend nearly committed suicide while on duty. Michael explains that a better term for PTSD is actually Post-Traumatic Stress Injury, recognizing that an injury (and not a disorder) has occurred and thus, can be healed and made better. Finally, Michael shares about his best-selling book, Relentless Courage: Winning the Battle Against Frontline Trauma and why it's a necessary read, not just for first responders, but for anyone who has experienced trauma and has hope to heal.#lawenforcement #mentalhealth #firstresponder Guest Information:Sgt.

In this second of a two-part series on Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) and mental health, Erin is joined by Mark Meincke, a Veteran and host of the Operation Tango Romeo podcast focused on trauma recovery. Meincke made national headlines this fall when he revealed that Veterans Affairs Canada had already suggested to several Veterans that they consider MAID on assistance calls that originated with a Veteran requesting support for mental injuries.

In the past we've have a limited way to talk about trauma and distress which was helped over 40 years ago when we began using the term PTSD in some situations. But this term doesn't fully cover what every first responder might be going through and I want to introduce you to some of these newer terms and concepts.My guest today is Debra Fontes. She is a law enforcement chaplain in Sacramento, California, and trains other chaplains. One of the topics she teaches is the subject of moral injury. Moral injury is not PTSD, although it may occur at the same time or come from the same event. Listen to Debra as she walks me through the similarities and differences between Post Traumatic Stress Injury and Moral Injury.Today you'll hear Debra give encouragement to those who have suffered trauma and challenge police chaplains to speak life and health into our officers' lives. Also listen for the distinction between feeling guilt over something and feeling shame, and what effect that has on an officer at home.Resources:The Moral Injury Workbook by Wyatt R.

This Week on Talk Recovery Radio This week on Talk Recovery Radio, Terrance Kosikar Founder of Camp My Way joins us to talk about PTSD in first responders, guest 2 Mallory F shares her story about being a mother in Recovery and being part of Families Recovery Society. Guest 1 About Camp My Way Camp My Way is a Residential Wilderness Program for First Responders and their families who have been affected by PTSD Camp My Way is located completely off the grid in the backcountry Mountains of British Columbia Canada. Our outdoor adventure based program teaches Campers how survive off grid, and respect our land that Mother Nature has provided all of us to enjoy and appreciate our gift of life today. Our self sustainability, combined with outdoor Adventure is aimed to help our Emergency Service Providers who struggle with an OSI (Operational Stress Injury ) PTSD get their lives back … Naturally OUR MISSION The ultimate goal is to help people get their lives back and reconnect with their family and friends through teamwork, self-discipline, meditation, exercise, nutrition and sharing positive experiences, in a natural environment. We have designed a program of activities and adventure for our campers to push personal limits, break down barriers, and re-establish a relationship not only with nature, but also with themselves. These experiences will provide our campers with the tools to cope with everyday struggles, and teach them about problem solving strategies, setting new goals and the importance of daily routines. Facebook | Twitter | Camp My Way Website | Its Not Week To Speak Website Terrance Joseph Kosikar - Founder - Camp My Way I was the first responder to a fatal accident during an event at the Whistler Sliding Center during the Winter Olympics in 2010. Although I was well trained in a myriad of life saving techniques, I was not prepared to deal with the emotional impact sustained when those techniques were not enough. As a result of the fatality, I developed Post Traumatic Stress Injury ( ptsd ) that launched me into a very costly downward spiral. During several years of severe depression, anxiety, nightmares, and substance abuse, I lost my family, my career, and nearly my life. Pushed to my breaking point, I found salvation within. Escaping to the back-country near Lillooet, BC, I found peace and purpose in mother nature's beauty and simplicity. Many others who have suffered from PTS have not been so lucky. It is my mission in life to help people who are suffering from PTS overcome this terrible injury. We will be offering a series of week long introspective nature retreats at Camp My Way. These trips will give people suffering from PTS – Mental Health and Substance Abuse challenges an opportunity to leave their real world problems behind, and to find themselves in some of the most beautiful terrain in the world. In my experience, this has proven to be an incredibly effective method to help manage my life . Guest 2 Mallory's Story Mallory Fewster is a mother in recovery with two vibrant and beautiful girls. She is well known in the recovery community for her involvement with Elizabeth Fry Society, Maxxine Wright Community Health Centre and the Growing Great Kids program. During COVID-19 she began attending mothers on recovery Zoom meetings on a regular basis and immediately got involved in helping out with hosting meetings to encourage and support other mothers in recovery. She is the perfect choice to help lead Family Recovery Society's Outreach & Events Team because she knows how it feels to feel alone, and always makes a special effort to make every single mother and father in our community feel welcome and appreciated at meetings and events.

Who are our heroes? First Responders. Who are their heroes? *silence* Essentially, they live their lives devoted to taking care of humanity. Because somewhere deep within them, is a burning desire to care for people. Not just their own people, but all people. And thus, they chase their dreams and devote their lives to a career as a first responder. A career that can deliver all of the promises... and eventually sometimes break them too. Michael Sugrue spent 20 years in US Law Enforcement. First in the US Air Force before joining the Walnut Creek Police Department. Today he opens up and recounts in vivid detail the moment he fired his weapon and took a life... the moment he had to do so, in order to save the lives of many. This incident that earned him Walnut Creek PD Distinguished Service Medal in 2014. This incident piled on top of many and dragged him down for years before he medically retired in 2018. When people like Michael speak up it is a gift, and one that I am grateful has landed in front of my mic today... I thank him for sharing his story, for getting vulnerable and for seeing the power for everybody in his own recovery.

The State of Law Enforcement - Law enforcement officers are harshly criticized by media talking heads and political elites right at the moment of the incident⏤even before they know the facts, they are running with the story. It can be a made up story of police brutality, racism, hands-up don't shoot, or some other falsehood. Last year almost 700,000 physical attacks on police officers occurred. Police assassinations; officers being ambushed have become all too common. PTSD and suicides are another growing problem in the industry. Police officers are asked to do more than just enforce the law, they are the psychologist, mediators, negotiators and the protectors. How has policing changed over the years & why? What are the rules of engagement? Sanctuary cities, illegals, homeless, drugs⏤what is their impact on policing? What is the future of law enforcement in the United States? Dave Smith is the most recognized police trainer and author in the industry today, he uses his alter-ego "JD Buck Savage" to train officers. Dr Ron Martinelli, is a retired police detective with a background in investigations, forensics, violent crimes and death scene investigations. Sgt. Betsy Smith a Police Officer for 29 years, a law enforcement trainer for over 20 years, and author. Lt Randy Sutton is a 34 year Law Enforcement veteran retired from the LVPD.

They may fail to pay the medical bills, approve needed treatment or surgeries and they may reduce pay and fail to even recognize that Post Traumatic Stress Injury is very real and can be debilitating. That is why THE WOUNDED BLUE was created; to help injured law enforcement, build and administer an Emergency Financial Aid Fund, create a system of effective and caring Peer Support, be a resource for competent and effective legal council and advocate for stronger laws and protection for the American Law Enforcement Officer. Lt Randy Sutton is Founder of The Wounded Blue, and the Director Retired Police Sgt Jason Harney.
https://thewoundedblue.org - THE WOUNDED BLUE FOUNDATION - AN ORGANIZATION FOR INJURED AND DISABLED LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS Each year, approximately 57,000 Law Enforcement Officers are assaulted in the line of duty and almost 30,000 lose time from work due to Line of Duty injuries. The severity of these injuries range from complaints of pain to permanent disabling injuries, many requiring extensive medical attention. In addition to the visible injuries, emotional and psychological trauma also affect an untold number of Law Enforcement Officers, often leading to Post Traumatic Stress Injury. The Wounded Blue was created to help injured law enforcement, build and administer an Emergency Financial Aid Fund, create a system of effective and caring Peer Support, be a resource for competent and effective legal council and advocate for stronger laws and protection for the American Law Enforcement Officer. The mission of The Wounded Blue is to: - Provide trained and caring Peer Support to injured and disabled officers and their families - Assist Law Enforcement Officers who are injured physically and psychologically to obtain the treatment and medical/financial benefits they are entitled to when they suffer line of duty injuries - Provide financial assistance as needed on a temporary basis - Advocate for stronger protections under state and federal law - Provide emergency funds to injured officers when circumstances dictate the need - Advocate for the positive public perception of law enforcement http://thewoundedblue.org ---- Ray Dietrich, 20 year law enforcement vet and former Sheriff's Sergeant, gets real about today law enforcement (and just a bit of politics) Connect with Ray & the Thin Blue Line Show, and our massive support police communities Here: https://thinbluelineshow.com
Entrepreneur, coach and author of “Stories of Elders”, Veronica Kirin shares her fascinating story of experiencing an anticipated tsunami while working as a humanitarian aid in a coastal Village in Samoa in 2009. Despite the fact that the tsunami never came, the anticipation and terror, confusion and chaos that she experienced side by side with the villagers that day led her to suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Injury (formerly post traumatic stress disorder). Because the tsunami never actually came, her reactions to the trauma were minimized by those around her and she was expected to go on with life as usual. As a result she hid her suffering, for fear that her struggle would be seen as a failure to cope. Veronica's untreated trauma eventually caught up with her and in her darkest moments, she realized that she needed help. Her journey towards healing lead her on a quest for self care, which she now shares with others in her work as a coach.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or as Fred calls it, Post Traumatic Stress Injury, impacts the lives of people all over the globe. PTSD can be healed when it is thought of like an injury to the brain. We are talking about ways to thrive, not just survive after trauma.
Monty Roberts, the Horse Whisperer, talks with Mark Alyn about PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and how he is using horses to bridge the gap and help these brave soldiers get whole again. Monty talks with us about helping Veterans cope with PTSD. Monty Roberts, The Horse Whisperer, talks about how and why horses help those who have been in super stressful situations, including combat. Monty, who has two Ph.ds in Behavioral Psychology, also calls the issue Post Traumatic Stress Injury.Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental illness that can develop after a person is exposed to one or more traumatic events, such as sexual assault, warfare, traffic collisions, terrorism or other threats on a person's life.[1] Symptoms include disturbing recurring flashbacks, avoidance or numbing of memories of the event, and hyperarousal, continue for more than a month after the occurrence of a traumatic event.[1]Most people who have experienced a traumatizing event will not develop PTSD. People who experience interpersonal trauma (e.g., sexual assault, child abuse) are more likely to develop PTSD, as opposed to people who experience non-assault based trauma such as accidents, natural disasters and witnessing trauma. Children are less likely to develop PTSD after trauma than adults, especially if they are under ten years of age.The term "post traumatic stress disorder" was coined in the early 1970s in large part due to diagnoses of US military veterans of the Vietnam War. It was officially recognized by the American Psychiatric Association in 1980 in the third edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III). Trauma-related mental disorders have been documented since at least the 17th century, and became more commonly recognized during the World Wars under various terms including "shell shock," "combat fatigue," and "war neurosis."
