"I say, BE SAFE.  He says, ALWAYS."  Fire Family Benefits & Challenges w/Kris Weir 
Kris Weir, a licensed massage therapist, Reiki master teacher and NAET (Nambudripad Allergy Elimination Techniques) practitioner and wife of 20 years to a firefighter/paramedic with whom she has two fabulous children. 
Kris learned about my first responder series & shared how wonderful her life has been with her first responder but also quickly educated me on how first responder families can be overlooked and don’t have many resource for support.  Kris wanted to share this story as part of the series to bring both the benefits and the challenges of being ‘married to fire’ to the forefront.  She tackles everything from parenting, managing emergency situations, negotiating schedules, giving space where needed, maintaining the community and the impact of PTSD.  Kris hopes to extend this conversation and build more support services for families starting from a local, grass roots approach!

“We’re not looking for answers outside ourselves, we know how to find them within."

Today’s guest is Estefana Johnson, LCSW, a trauma therapist and Director of Clinical Training at ARISE Alliance, who’s leading the launch of a powerful new therapy model called Critical Memory Integration (CMI™). CMI™ is a modality that marries many components of evidenced-based trauma informed care into one gentle, quick and safe template for providers.  CMI™ teaches that the client is the expert who can heal with experiential space where their subconscious can learn what it already intuitively knows.  Engaging components of the program include using curiosity as an asset and defining mood and traumatic signals to learn and modify how you have adapted to past experiences.  Estefana brings a passion and energy to this modality borrowing from her background with at-risk and foster care children with ASA Now, being a team player on Jacob’s Law legislature & her own personal journey as a first generation Mexican-American woman.  CMI™ is potentially groundbreaking as a simple, intuitive & effective intervention for anyone suffering from trauma or mood dysregulation.

"You don't have to live this way!"  For over 10 years Corinne Santore has been treating first responders & teaching them how to accept and regulate their nervous system and process work traumas!  She demystifies trauma, 'little T's' and 'big T's' and the impact work trauma can have on a first responder's personal & work life if left unresolved or filed incorrectly in the brain. Bilateral stimulation from movement, beats or EMDR are just a few tools she explores.  A vulnerable and underserved population, she advocates for global awareness & tolerance to getting help and a world where EMDR, emotional processing and regulation tools are preventive and normative.

"Taking medicine and then being a completely different person is scary" 
It's easier to list the meds Ian hasn't taken, then the ones he has over his recovery journey! He has a long history managing an eating disorder, mood & sleep disturbance.  Now in a solid recovery place, he shares how meds were essential at times, how to use genetic testing to gauge efficacy, when treatment overshadows meds, going to your baseline and trusting yourself (sometimes) even without chemical support!

Sensitive Content Warning: discussion contains anorexic behaviors, self-harm and medical restraints. 
Restraint chairs, sedatives, forced feeds, isolation from family, misdiagnoses and COVID make for a super daunting recovery ride - but Luisa rides the wave like a boss into her current recovery!  
Luisa offers 3 takeaways:

1-     Misdiagnosing Anorexia and ARFID
2-     Medical Trauma in ED recovery
3-     Impact of being young in treatment

"You wouldn't have recognized me: I was a completely different person!"
Luisa is now 17, telling us about her mental health and eating disorder recovery journey that started at 7.  She was identified and treated for ARFID at 11 when panic attacks started, but that only told half her story.  Eventually, she was diagnosed with Anorexia, and proceeded to be bounced between treatment centers, medical floors and psychiatric wards for the next 3 years.  Learning to label and forgive the traumas, learning to trust her resilience and voice and learning how to find better ways to serve young people in the mental health community are just a few of the gifts she shares!

Tracie Guggenheim has tried it all and has a lot to share about her recovery path for binge eating disorder and anorexia.  She shares what it’s like to be told to lose 10 pounds at 11 years old, then watch your weight swing like a pendulum for years and years rarely feeling comfortable in your own skin and then finally finding peace with her body and an intention to feel well, not to fit a certain aesthetic.
