Critical Incidents Stress Resiliency (CISR) can be added to your program to make it more effective and robust.

We lose more first responders to suicide than the line of duty deaths each year. If there is even a remote possibility to prevent this, isn’t it worth exploring?

Most first responder agencies have some sort of peer support available to those experiencing a critical incident in the workplace. Maybe you investigated a double homicide, or worked a traffic fatality, or had to give the next of kin notification of a death, or perhaps a line of duty officer-involved shooting, or investigated a horrific suicide or a sudden infant death. Maybe you lost a 6-year-old in the back of your ambulance running an emergency response to the hospital. I could go on and on, but you get my point. Emotional tolls on our police, fire, emergency medical services and hospital staff are beyond normal capacities. We develop coping skills that can bleed over into our personal lives. Maybe it starts with a few shots of bourbon to take the edge off and a few more to sleep. Our relationships with our significant others, families, and children can start to take its toll.

We then can start shifting into disciplinary problems at work; you get angry for no apparent reason. We have sworn to protect our communities and can become insensitive with those we protect. Or maybe you start slacking at work because you don’t want to write another stupid report. Sound familiar?

Here is a real problem—egos of a profession. We are alpha males and alpha females, and we work hard to portray ourselves as protectors. There is nothing to see here; I’m good! The rank and file are afraid to ask for help because we know what the consensus is with PTSI . We perceive it as a weakness because we stigmatized the term. It is why we lose more first responders every year to suicide compared to the line of duty deaths. The new research, however, shows how wrong we are about PTSI. It's not psychological; it is neurological. The brain gets hijacked because it fuses an emotion with an image or series of images. The emotion and image remain in the amygdala or the fight or flight part of the brain for ready and easy access. Intrusive thoughts, when we don’t want them, they sneak in our thoughts. Triggers occur when we pass by an intersection of a case we worked a decade ago and now seems like yesterday. A nightmare happens because the brain is trying to process it but can’t. PTSI is an injury that can now heal just as quickly as it sets in.

What if I tell you there is a way to rid yourself of the negative emotions associated with your duties or even clear the emotions attached to a hardcore traumatic event. Would you be interested in exploring this solution? What if I told you the training takes three days and then the process becomes quite simple.The trained member will retain the skill and get better with time. The training can occur in person or via an online platform. All training is completed through 22ZERO!

How much institutional knowledge do we lose to stress every year? Men and women quit their professions because they don’t want to deal with the bombardment of emotions on the job. What does it cost to retrain the member? How about the stress-induced diseases associated like diabetes, heart disease, strokes, pick your cancer. What if we can regulate the emotions early in a career? What does that look like for overall health?

NO STRESS, NON-INVASIVE APPROACH PEOPLE CAN RECOVER WITHOUT RELIVING OR RE-TELLING THEIR TRAUMA.

New research shows just how wrong we’ve been about PTSI. It’s not psychological; it is neurological. PTSI is an injury that can now heal just as quickly as it is inflicted.

2-4 Sessions are required

There is a better way to manage negative emotions associated with their duties and service, and even clear the emotions attached to a hardcore traumatic event. What’s more, you can learn this process in only three days. Our latest research has shown more than half of program participants recover after only one session with others experiencing recovery within two to four sessions.
