If you feel like your first responder partner or family member is not giving you enough attention even on off-duty, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist Destiny Morris will teach you how to cope with this situation. Also, she will introduce and explain the Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy and the importance of accepting new perspectives in life.
In this episode, we discuss:
• How to avoid loneliness when your first responder partner is on deployment
• How to have a sense of individuality or own identity outside of marriage
• How to better understand your first responder partner especially when he had gruesome things at work
• EMDR Therapy, a gentle way to approach trauma
• Why therapy is important
• What to do when you don't like your therapist
About Destiny Morris
Destiny Morris
(https://www.enduringthebadgepodcast.com/guests/destiny-morris/) Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
I am an Associate Marriage and Family therapist in Westlake Village, Ventura, and Santa Barbara, California. I am first responder counselor certified, as well as EMDR certified. I have worked in a in-patient psychiatric hospital with active duty veterans and first responders, as well as with recovering addicts in a non-profit, couples, spouses of first responders, teens, and individuals who are working through trauma, anxiety, depression, and loss. I am a first responder partner to a wildland fire fighter and have navigated the ins and outs of what it means to support as well as understand them. I am passionate about spreading awareness of mental health as a method of preventative care as well as supporting families of first responders.
