This hits close to home. There was a reason Petra Martin started Whidbey CareNet, a nonprofit that helped volunteers get resources to help them with that "burnout." Volunteers are roughly 80% of the US fire service.

A poor term, "burnout." I had my own after 16 years and I assure you, once it was properly named, "burnout" wasn't it. Raise Your resilience rose from it's ashes, and while it was Carenet, we thought it's be beneficial to be duplicable for places like Cornersville. No EAP, no HR department, no staff help of any kind for responding to the residents' worst days 24/7. Which means you go to the fatal car accidents, suicides, heart attacks, fires, and so on of the people who you know.

Way beyond burnout.

I finally stepped away from my service in 2015 to focus on healing. A tough choice, and sometimes I miss the service. This is what it is coming to in many places.

PSA:

There is a reason I never cared for IFS, apart from the fact it's just another talk therapy. For me, healing means I integrate. I was dis-integrated by trauma, so healing doesn't mean a bunch of parts. I would have to agree there is no scientific basis for his view. Anyway, the same with "inner child" perspectives. Integrating meant I became the one elderly man I am today.

Internal Family Systems is a widely popular trauma treatment. Some patients say it’s destroyed their lives.

Our Story

Through tremoring and other tools, this program is for those willing to be responsible for their own healing from trauma (including secondary), and not to be just a survivor. This is about living with wellness in the unity of the emotions, intellect, body, consciousness, social relationships, and environment. This program was developed out of my experience as a firefighter/EMT with developmental trauma as well as PTSD. It is self-administered, and self-regulated, in a context of connection.
