For Veterans, First Responders and those who love them...
Military personnel, fire fighters, police officers, emergency medical personnel, chaplains, therapists, social workers and disaster response personnel all have in common their focus on helping others. Sometimes the stress of putting others before everything else can take its toll. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), burn out and compassion fatigue are very common and vary in their intensity from person to person.

What is PTSD?
At Counseling Network, Inc., we go beyond the initial steps of critical incident stress debriefing and believe it can be helpful and important to have someone to talk with who understands and who can help you process through your particular situation and experiences when you are ready to do so. However, the research suggests that "debriefing" and connecting with a support system, as soon as possible can be the most helpful. At CNI, our therapists have firsthand knowledge of what it means to serve others in an emergency service or to support a loved one who did or still does work in that field.
Forms of counseling offered by Counseling Network Inc. that have proven beneficial include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
EMDR
Equine Assisted Psychotherapy
Stress Management
Relaxation Training
Medication
If you or someone you love seems to be suffering from PTSD, please seek out professional assistance as soon as possible rather than simply hoping that everything will work out for the best.
You and/or your loved one has made a career of helping others in a time of need, don't forget that it really is ok to take care of yourself too!
