Mental Health Mastery: Matt Quackenbush on Enduring the Badge Podcast

I found that the majority of first responders really grew up in very tumultuous, traumatic environments, especially the ones that end up in the office.
What happens when a seasoned psychotherapist joins forces with a veteran first responder? You get an episode packed with wisdom, empathy, and actionable advice. In this special episode of the Enduring the Badge Podcast, Matt Quackenbush, known for his expertise in mental health, trauma, and relationships, sits down with host Jerry Dean Lund. Jerry, who has 31 years of service behind the badge, brings his own experiences of surviving dark times and thoughts of suicide to the table.
Their conversation isn't just for first responders; it's a treasure trove for anyone looking to improve their mental well-being. Matt and Jerry dive into various topics, from the success of Deer Hollow's approach to treating PTSD to the often-overlooked importance of self-perception. They break down the stigma surrounding asking for help and explore the fascinating relationship between stress hormones and the immune system.
The episode also touches on practical aspects like the benefits of having a peer support team and setting boundaries to prevent burnout. Listeners will walk away with a deeper understanding of how trauma, anxiety, and depression affect the brain and body. Matt emphasizes the interconnectedness of physical and mental health, offering insights that are both encouraging and inspiring. Whether you're a first responder or someone seeking to better your mental health, this episode offers a wealth of knowledge and hope.
