• Describes becoming emotionally numb to trauma - seeing victims as "no more meaningful than this pen"
• Worked obsessively on homicide cases, once working 150 hours weekly for months during a cartel murder investigation
• Experienced career-ending PTSD breakdown after years of untreated trauma
• Initially refused therapy due to police culture stigma but eventually found healing through specialized programs
• Now uses podcast platform to help others recognize trauma symptoms before reaching breaking point
• Law enforcement suicides are increasing in 2025, highlighting urgent need for mental health awareness
