61 - When They're Struggling, They're not Calling Anyone - James Geering In this episode, James Geering shares his journey from aspiring firefighter to first responder, discussing the motivations behind his career choice and the impact of childhood experiences on his path. He emphasizes the importance of mental health support for first responders, the role of community in healing, and the challenges of PTSD. Geering also explores alternative therapies and practical tools for maintaining well-being, while addressing the pervasive issue of sleep deprivation in the first responder community. James also discusses the challenges faced by firefighters, including long work hours, mental health issues, and the recruitment crisis. He emphasizes the need for change in the fire service, advocating for better work-life balance, financial investment in staffing, and prioritizing mental health. Geering argues that by investing in firefighters, departments can improve service delivery and create a healthier workforce. He calls for courage among leaders and firefighters to advocate for necessary changes and highlights the importance of community support. TAKEAWAYS James Geering's journey reflects a deep desire to serve others. Childhood trauma can significantly influence the paths of first responders. Mental health support is crucial for the well-being of first responders. Resilience can be built through overcoming struggles and adversity. Community and environment play a vital role in healing. Identifying with PTSD can hinder personal growth and recovery. Connection and support from peers are essential for those struggling. Alternative therapies can provide new avenues for healing. Maintaining well-being requires a toolbox of practices and support. Sleep issues are a significant concern in the first responder community. Firefighters often work 56 hours a week, which is unsustainable. The recruitment crisis is exacerbated by poor working conditions. Investing in firefighters' health can save money in the long run. Departments need to prioritize mental health services for their staff. Courage is required to advocate for change in the fire service. A healthier workforce leads to better service delivery. Firefighters should not accept a work schedule that compromises their family time. The financial implications of overtime can be significant for departments. Community support is crucial for implementing changes in the fire service. Change is necessary to prevent the collapse of the fire service.

He was born in England and spent almost thirty years there before emigrating to the U.S. His early years saw me in in a spectrum of jobs from lifeguard to stuntman. He had always dreamed of becoming a Firefighter and lived that dream once he moved the United States, were he has been a Firefighter/Paramedic for fourteen years. I am also a Crossfit coach and a graduate from the University of Florida with a Bachelor's in Exercise Physiology and Kinesiology. James states, "At the start of my firefighting career I felt invincible and thought that the only danger to my health would be in a collapse or burn over. As the years have progressed, I began to notice a trend of ill health in my profession. Through questioning everything I had been taught, I began to deconstruct the entire fitness community and rebuild from the ground up. I realized that there was a giant void in the area of First Responder wellness. There was only one solution; fill that void with the amazing knowledge I had encountered along my own journey of repair." His passion to help is matched by his vast experiences in life.
