Nick talks about a difficult traffic accident and how something that seems like not a big deal but actually affected him – we can’t choose the things that affect us

Is there something protective in the fire or law enforcement world that helps with longevity? Is it the wider variety of calls?

EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) is a form of psychotherapy that Nick had some great results from utilizing and highly recommends to those struggling

Working together as a tribe is a key aspect of a functional scene. Everyone has their roles, their strengths and they complement each other

When things would go bad, Nick would take all the responsibility on himself but share the successes with everyone

Nick talks about an officer that was vulnerable enough to go into the details about a difficult call where he ended up struggling for his life and how this inspired him to get some help and talk about past trauma as well
