Summary

A Route to Resilience: Recognizing and Supporting Psychological Stress Injuries in Outdoor Culture A LIVE Sharp End Podcast with Responder Alliance Founder Laura McGladrey Part 1: Psychological Stress Injuries in Outdoor Culture As you all know, the guests on my show share outdoor incidents they were involved in. Many of those stories have a physical injury that takes the focus. Say, a broken ankle from a climber falling, etc. In the outdoor and climbing industry we often think of stress injuries as being a physical overuse injury, but this is something different. In 2018, I had the pleasure of interviewing Laura McGladrey for the 34th episode of my podcast. The podcast is titled, Psychological First Aid, and at that time, I didn’t know very much about what that was. It was during this interview that I did with Laura, I learned that I actually have a stress injury from producing this podcast! What I’ve learned in 10.5 years of producing this podcast is the importance of highlighting and creating awareness around the very topic that this episode is all about. Tune in to hear Laura McGladrey, founder and director of the Responder Alliance, explain how and why stress injuries came to be. Make sure to follow up on August 1 for Part 2 (The Route To Healing: Supporting Each Other And Ourselves) of this series! This episode is brought to you by: Rocky Talkie and Desert Mountain Medicine
