    SPOTLIGHT MONDAY: Lorenzo's Polyvagal Theory
    2024/12/02
    On today's Spotlight Monday, we shine the light on polyvagel theory as shared from our guest, Lorenzo, author of Bringing Hope, from Episode 61. He explained polyvagal theory and how it relates to first responders. He shared how through his research he discovered that there were several first responders who lived in this disassociated, dorsal vagal state, and they dip down every shift into fight or flight which gives the misconception that they could still feel emotions so they are fine. He described how the effects of this long-term fight or flight didn't allow first responders enough down time to rest, digest, heal, and create dopamine connections from loved ones. For further information, we encourage you to read Lorenzo's book, Bringing Hope.

  • Revisiting The Invisible Ones

    Revisiting The Invisible Ones
    2024/11/06
    Today, in honor of Child Safety and Protection Month AND National Family Week, we wanted to revisit a topic we discussed with Monica in Episode 4 that often goes unnoticed when discussing the challenges of living in first responder families. They are the children of first responders; the invisible ones who often hear and see everything first responder couples share including the dark, scary and chaotic parts of this career. These children often experience emotional and physical reactions that go unseen and sometimes untreated for years. We have heard this from some first responder families over the past few years. In addition, we have learned that oftentimes first responders have a difficult time parenting and are blamed for being too protective and strict. However, these children don’t understand and are not explained that it’s likely because of the dangerous world their FR parent experiences everyday. Monica really put this topic into perspective for us. It reminded us all as first responder parents what our children may be experiencing and showed us the importance of ensuring that our children feel emotionally safe and not just physically. So come ride along with us!
