Firefighters, paramedics, and Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) are trained to run toward danger-but few are trained to process the repeated trauma they witness every day. Over time, exposure to death, catastrophic injury, violence, and human suffering can lead to cumulative trauma, emotional exhaustion, and symptoms of PTSD that often go unrecognized.
In Burned Out, clinical social worker and award-winning author Iris Waichler explores the hidden psychological and physical toll of first responder trauma-and the ripple effect it has on marriages, families, and personal well-being.
Through candid interviews with male and female first responders and their loved ones across the country, this powerful nonfiction self-help book answers critical questions:
- What types of trauma do first responders experience on the job?
- How does repeated exposure to crisis affect physical and emotional health?
- Why does PTSD in first responders often spill into relationships?
- Why do so many hesitate to seek mental health support?
- How can families better understand emotional withdrawal and stress?
- Where can first responders turn for confidential help and healing?
