By now, you’ve heard over and over about the value of professional counseling to manage mental or behavioral health challenges, particularly those associated with work-related stress and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Are you still skeptical? Maybe you think it’s too-touchy feely. Maybe you’re worried that word will get out that you’re seeing a therapist. Or it could be that you just don’t think a therapist will understand what you do for a living.
In this episode of Code 3 Podcast, host Scott Orr speaks with Courtney Stewart about what exactly happens when you walk into a therapist’s office. Stewart is a licensed professional counselor in Wisconsin and Illinois, as well as a law enforcement wife, and a mother. She works in corrections as a therapist and volunteers as a mental health consultant for law enforcement peer support teams.
