What if we told you that it's possible to emerge stronger and wiser from adversity and trauma? Our guest, Jessica Depatie, a documentary film producer and journalist, shares her insights on the concept of post-traumatic growth and how it has manifested in her own life. Together, we discuss her project, "The Dark Knight of Your Soul," and its potential benefits for the first responder and veteran communities.
We dive deep into the relevance of ancient Greek myths of heroism in today's world and their connection to depression and PTSD among first responders and veterans. Jessica and I also explore Chris Berth's idea of the 'invisible actor at the center of the world,' offering an alternative narrative to the flawed hero's journey. Additionally, we discuss the challenges faced by police officers, first responders, and veterans, emphasizing the importance of taking ownership of our narratives and accepting our imperfections.
Finally, Jessica and I highlight the significance of passing down emotionally literate tools to future generations and promoting post-traumatic growth. We touch on our Kickstarter campaign, which aims to fund the completion of our film and its release on a major streaming platform. Don't miss this thought-provoking conversation that offers a powerful reminder of the resilience and growth we can achieve through trauma and adversity.
As a First Responder, you are critical in keeping our communities safe. However, the stress and trauma of the job can take a toll on your mental health and family life.
