Counseling for First Responders in Austin
First Responders - Military
There are many who fall under the term "First Responders". Police, Fire, EMS, Military and Medical Personnel. There may be others at times, like pilots, teachers, coworkers and even bystanders at times. But here we are talking about those who have jobs that put them in harms way and in situations of experiencing things that can often be dangerous, messy, frightening and traumatic. The work of a first responder may be paid or volunteer but it is certainly difficult. There is a certain culture in the professions and there is a sense of family and belonging, most of the time. But that culture and bond can also lead to hurt and betrayal if some harmed or killed in the line of duty. The job can be seemingly harmless and you can feel fine, but then that one call happens that just weighs on your mind or that one person that could not be saved haunts you thoughts. There is no one who is immune to trauma, stress, anxiety, mental overload, grief, sadness and fear. PTSD is very common among first responders as is vicarious trauma. Both are very treatable and there can be relief form the symptoms. EMDR is a great method of treatment for PTSD and trauma in general and our Austin therapy practitioners at our center are trained and experienced in EMDR.
