Police, Pressure & PTSD *Part 1* - Lane Douglas Hunt (Police) + Brian Willis (Training)

Jun 7, 2021

When a day starts like any other but almost ends your life, you can pretend it doesn't affect you - but some trauma won't go away by ignoring it. Lane Douglas-Hunt, a Sergeant with decades of experience in multiple roles across the Victoria Police Department in BC Canada, survived a near fatal attack while on street patrol - only to discover down the track that hidden scars don't heal by themselves. Thankfully she crossed paths with Brian Willis, a former policeman who now specializes in training officers to prepare for, deal with, and recover from critical incidents in chaotic environments, and this is their story. In this first of a 2 part special episode, we talk about the incident that started it all, the unspoken trauma that it led to, and the definition of what a hero can really mean, to anyone in any situation.
