Show Notes

The most common questions spouses ask all revolve around how they can successfully talk to their first responder spouse about getting help or going to therapy. Often the spouse feels it could be very beneficial based on what changes they see, but they feel lost with how to talk with or convince their first responder spouse of that knowing they are not very open or trusting of mental health. Dr. Rachelle (fire spouse) and Dr. Alma (Police spouse) speak from their professional roles as therapists in how to best address this question. Also in this episode, Dr. Rachelle's baby girl has arrived! She makes her first debut on this podcast at just 3 weeks old. Dr. Rachelle also talks about the challenges that her husband's captain promotion brought to pre and postpartum life.
