In this episode, Kyle Goodknight welcomes Dusty Wachenschwanz, a firefighter and EMS professional. They delve into Dusty's career journey, the demands of being a firefighter in central Ohio, and the use of ETMS in their work. They also discuss mental health resources like EMDR, equine therapy, and the Phoenix Project, emphasizing the need for such support in the first responder community.

Key Points

  • E TMS, a non-invasive therapy using magnetic waves, has shown remarkable improvements in brain function and symptoms of PTSD, depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders among first responders and veterans.
  • Equine therapy offers a calming and therapeutic experience for individuals, including first responders and children with disabilities, by fostering a unique connection with horses that can lead to significant physical and emotional benefits.
  • Despite skepticism and stigma, exploring and utilizing various mental health resources and therapies can lead to profound personal growth and healing for first responders dealing with the aftermath of trauma.
