The longer I am involved in the policing industry and first responder communities, the more I believe our biggest threat isn’t what’s “out there…” it’s in HERE.
It’s negative attitudes, toxic departments and leadership, corrosive gossiping, a culture that eats its own, and that starts with us individually.
The negative self-talk can get out of control for many of us. I’ve heard it from some of the most high performing, compassionately driven cops. So how is that?
Robyn Sonnier, who works frequently with first responders, joins me to discuss the foundations of this through Internal Family Systems, so we can move forward constructively to be our best- for ourselves and everyone else.
