First Responders and Their Partners
First Responders
Serving First Responders and their Partners/Spouses in Central Ohio and virtually throughout the state of Ohio.
Let’s face it.. stigma around first responders going to therapy is real. BUT,,
you’re getting burnt out or maybe you feel like you just don’t care anymore. The overtime, long shifts, swing in political agendas, the trauma, the lack of support from those that are suppose to have your back. It’s a lot.
You may have a hard time turning off your brain. You may have a case or run that you can’t shake. Things from work are seeping into your dreams. You may be struggling to fall asleep or stay asleep through the night, having a hard time leaving work at work. Your relationships at home are struggling and your spouse/partner just doesn’t get it. You feel like you can’t share because people around you won’t be able to handle your stories. The feeling of being numb is becoming all too real for certain aspects of your job or you start drinking more. And people say you’ve changed.
