Have you ever imagined a journey from the glitz of fashion merchandising to the gritty reality of emergency dispatch? Deborah's career path is anything but ordinary, and she joins us to unfold the gripping narrative of her life as a veteran dispatcher. Her story transcends the switch from the National Guard to becoming a military police officer and later, handling crises like the LA riots and the O.J. Simpson chase with poise. Our discussion with Deborah exposes the raw, behind-the-scenes challenges of a dispatcher's role, the agility needed to keep pace with technological advances in public safety, and the profound impact of these experiences on the individuals who manage our emergencies.
Trauma is an unspoken shadow that trails many high-stress professions, and this episode doesn't shy away from its impact. Deborah bravely reveals the mental health battles that often come after the call ends, including her own struggle with PTSD. The conversation moves into the healing territory, sharing the vital importance of therapy, peer support, and sometimes the need to step away for recovery. It's a frank look at the scars left behind and the strength found in reaching out for help, as well as the tools and techniques that assist in managing the aftermath of trauma.
