Welcome to Resilience Development in Action with Steve Bisson.

This is the podcast dedicated to first responder mental health, helping police, fire,

EMS, dispatchers, and paramedics create better growth environments for themselves and their teams.

Let's get started.

Okay. teams. Let's get started. Well, hi everyone and welcome to episode 244. If you haven't listened to episode 243, it was with A.K. Dasanti. Hope you go and listen to it. It was a really good interview. But for this episode, I want to review a client survey. I know that it was about two months ago. If you're my client, you received a survey. If you're a first responder, I know you received a survey. And if you're a podcast listener that you know about, that I know about, you received a survey. Bottom line is if you want to

be part of that newsletter, just write to me at Steve Bisson, LMHC at gmail.com. And I'll add you to the

newsletter that goes out about once a month, give or take. But we got three winners. And I actually

filmed the winners. And then I realized, oh my God, I'd be violating HIPAA.

So I wasn't able to give you the final results.

But congratulations to Sam and Beth and someone else won.

There's a third person that won that I can't remember off the top of my head right now. But I sent them the gift card. If you need to see the video to prove that it was random, I can show it to you, but because it was always Melanie the third one. Anyway, if you want to see the video, I can show it to you. I promise it was all random, but they all but one got the card so far. So it was a true random thing and I appreciate

all your feedback, but I wanted to talk about the feedback. The first thing I want to mention is

I'm very proud to say that I got 46 response for my survey and I receive over 30 responses

for the first responder people. And I got a lot of different types of feedback.

And most of it was positive.

You'd think that, you know, wouldn't be so positive.

But I'm kidding.

One of the things going back to HIPAA and my, how proud I am in regards to the work I do,

is that only a few people, like less than a a quarter of you knew that I had a podcast.

And that basically means I keep my, I keep my lane, right? I do therapy. I don't talk about my

podcast. So for those of you who are in therapy with me listening, thank you, you know,

you know for listening. But for my clients who don't listen, perfect, they know I keep in my lane.
