Firefighter PTSD (What You NEED to Know!)

Firefighter PTSD Symptoms (What you NEED to Know!)

Jacques Roy, Captain with Stamford Fire Department, and his wife, Dawn Roy LCSW and EMDR therapist, discuss an incident where Jacques developed PTSD symptoms. They also went on to help form a trauma recovery network, now called the Fairfield County Trauma Response Team, to help raise awareness about firefighters and ptsd, first responders and PTSD, what causes PTSD in firefighters and what causes PTSD in first responders. Firefighter PTSD is extremely common, and it is very important to know the signs and symptoms because PTSD therapy is effective. Captain Jacques Roy utilized EMDR therapy to cure his PTSD symptoms. EMDR is eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. Linking to the official music video by Kevin Davison because of its power in describing the incredible courage of firefighters. The effects of PTSD are outlined, and post traumatic stress disorder treatment is discussed. Dawn Roy discusses being a spouse of a firefighter, and the signs of PTSD to be aware of.
