In this episode we had a chance to sit down with DR. Steven Nicholas.

Steve is a licensed marriage and family therapist who has immersed himself in the phenomena of trauma and the potential growth from adverse events.

This immersion led Steve to author the book Warrior Servants. Warrior servants are those who choose to serve in professions that require great discipline, loyalty and drive, they come when they are called and they suit up and show up when they are needed. Mental health for warrior servants has traditionally been addressed in the same way. Steves goal is to try and shift the incident response model of reactive mental health in to a pre-incident education model. This is a groundbreaking book that examines how the cultures among warrior servants can shift towards prioritizing their physical health mental health, relationships, and normalizing the emotional impact of the job. We’ll leave a link in the show notes to docs website where you can pick up your own copy of the book warrior servants. This was a powerful conversation with a down to earth guy who truly understands the first responder culture. We hope you enjoy.
