S6 E13 Deep Brain Reorienting: The Next Frontier with Guest Dr. Joanna Rosen

Your nervous system doesn't know the call is over.That's the reality for first responders — and the problem most conventional therapy wasn't built to solve. Dr. Joanna Rosen, psychologist and founder of Between Two Ears Trauma Consultancy, goes deeper than the story, deeper than the memory — all the way down to where trauma actually lives.In this installment of our Clinician's Guide Masterclass series, Dr. Rosen breaks down Deep Brain Reorienting — DBR — a cutting-edge modality that's changing what's possible in trauma treatment, and explains why there's a critical difference between being trauma-informed and being trauma-competent.For clinicians who want to go further. For first responders who want to understand why they can't just leave it at the door. Discover why DBR is transforming trauma treatment — watch live Wed 4/1 at 7 pm ET: https://www.youtube.com/c/ResponderResilience**Resources for Responder Wellness:**• Book: Helping the Helpers https://a.co/d/dm0VS4Q• Free App: CRACKYL http://crackyl.respondertv.com• Fitness: FightCamp (code RR10 for 10% off) https://joinfightcamp.com/shop/ Contact Dr. Joanna Rosen:Website: http://moveforwardbetter.com/Website: http://between2ears.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-joanna-rosen-psyd/Contact Responder Resilience:Phone: +1 844-344-6655Email: info@respondertv.comOur website with past episodes and more: https://www.respondertv.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ResponderResilienceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/responder-resilience-podcast/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/responder.tv/

S6 E12 Dump The Bucket: Healing Trauma In Police With EMDR with Guest Dr. Stacy Raymond

Cops don't break on the job. They break slowly, quietly, in the space between calls — carrying everything they've ever seen, heard, and survived until the bucket finally overflows.Dr. Stacy Raymond knows what's in that bucket. She's sat across from officers who've held it together for decades — on the street, in the squad room, at home — until they couldn't anymore. Her book, Dump the Bucket: Healing Trauma in Police with EMDR, doesn't deal in platitudes. It deals in truth: that the trauma destroying officers didn't always start on the job. And that EMDR might be the most powerful tool in law enforcement wellness that nobody's talking about.This is a conversation about what it actually takes to heal — not manage, not cope, not white-knuckle through another shift. Heal. If you wear a badge, treat the ones who do, or love someone who brings the job home every night — this one's for you.Now available!

In this raw, unflinching episode, she lays bare what it takes to go from broken to unbreakable. The courage to ask for help. The lonely road of therapy, and the difference a culturally competent therapist can make for those who wear the badge.
