Summary

This is a republishing of an archived episode with Carl Waggett.

There are some people who are able to articulate concepts and feelings in a kind of perfect, let’s-get-to-the-heart-of-the-matter way for a particular group of people, and Carl is that person for the first responder tribe.

Carl’s been a full-time firefighter for the past 14 years, and Acting Captain for 4 of them. After a fellow firefighter and close friend of Carl’s ended his own life, Carl removed himself from the front line trucks only to be diagnosed with PTSD a short time afterward.

Carl says he’s learning that there are many sides to this very intelligent disorder, and would simply like to share his experiences in the hope that others understand that PTSD is more of a winnable battle than you think. Carl started his podcast, PTSD Bunker Gear For Your Brain, after his experiences with PTSD and to help other first responders.
