Nick Davis & Dr. Pamela Arnell Featured on Responder Resilience Podcast
Nick Davis (Past President of 22ZERO) and Dr. Pamela Arnell (Executive Director) were recently interviewed on the Responder Resilience Podcast, where they discussed the life-changing mission of 22ZERO in healing veterans, first responders, and their families from PTSI (Post-Traumatic Stress Injury)—all at no cost to mission clients.
How 22ZERO Helps Heroes Heal from Trauma
During the interview, Nick and Dr. Arnell explained how 22ZERO’s protocols provide free, confidential support through:
✅ The Trauma Resiliency Protocol (TRP) – Focuses on true trauma healing rather than symptom management
✅ The Emotions Management Process (EMP) – Helps individuals regulate emotional responses to trauma
✅ A Telehealth Platform – Mission clients receive healing while staying in the comfort of their homes
✅ Peer-to-Peer Support – Veterans and first responders are connected with trained peers who understand their experiences
Scientific Validation: Arizona State University Collaboration
Dr. Arnell emphasized the importance of research-backed trauma healing, explaining how she has been collaborating with the Arizona State University (ASU) Research Team. ASU is currently studying first responder data collected from 22ZERO to provide peer-reviewed validation of TRP and EMP’s effectiveness.
Nick Davis further highlighted how scientific research is key to expanding 22ZERO’s reach and credibility in the mental health community.
Dr. Arnell’s Personal Experience with 22ZERO
Dr. Arnell shared her personal journey, explaining how she was introduced to 22ZERO by her Fire Chief and how she was:
“Amazed at how simple it was to heal the trauma.”
She recalled experiencing two critical incidents as a reserve deputy and three traumatic calls as a firefighter. After going through 22ZERO’s trauma-healing protocols, she felt an incredible transformation—an experience echoed by many mission clients.
Healing Emotional Wounds
The discussion also covered how negative emotions like fear, horror, guilt, and shame can overwhelm those suffering from trauma. After working with 22ZERO, many mission clients express feeling “amazed” at the emotional relief they experience.
Why 22ZERO’s Approach Is Different
Nick and Dr. Arnell also shared:
- The History of 22ZERO and its impact on veterans, first responders, and their families
- The Importance of Immediate Access – No waiting lists for mission clients
- Comprehensive Pre & Post Assessments – Clients complete:
- Pre-assessment: Trauma screening, depression, and anxiety evaluation
- Post-assessment: Measures improvement after completing the TRP and EMP sessions
A Lasting Impact on Families
Nick Davis emphasized that healing trauma doesn’t just help the individual—it transforms entire families. When a veteran or first responder heals, their spouse, children, and loved ones experience the positive ripple effect of that healing.
