Healing Firefighters: Dr. Peter Salerno on Overcoming Work-Related Trauma

I think it's a lot of the things that happen after trauma have more to do with physiology than psychology, and so I am a big proponent of getting back into your body, learning how to self-regulate your body, which will then help you be more creative with your mind rather than fearful with your mind.
Imagine facing life-threatening situations daily and carrying those memories home. In this episode of 'A Quest for Well-Being', host Valeria Teles sits down with trauma specialist Dr. Peter Salerno to discuss the unique challenges firefighters face. Dr. Salerno sheds light on his attachment-oriented approach to healing, which emphasizes reconnecting with one's body and self-regulation as key steps in overcoming trauma.
He believes that therapy isn't about labeling people as sick or dysfunctional but about empowering them to grow and reclaim their lives. The conversation also tackles the stigma surrounding mental health, especially in high-stress professions like firefighting. Dr. Salerno shares how therapy can be a liberating experience, offering insights into the physiology of trauma and the importance of inner growth.
If you're curious about how first responders can heal from their demanding jobs, this episode offers valuable perspectives and practical advice.
