YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn this insightful episode, Mike Failace returns to discuss his personal journey with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and how it has impacted his life. He shares candid experiences about navigating PTSD, detailing the emotional triggers and daily challenges that come with it. From battling unhealthy coping mechanisms like alcohol and medication to seeking recovery, Mike's story offers hope and real-life perspectives. We also explore the broader issue of PTSD in law enforcement and how first responders cope with trauma, shedding light on the mental health struggles that many officers face after years of service. The episode touches on stigma, the power of therapy, and the often misunderstood symptoms of PTSD.
This conversation dives into the role of Sherry Alsup, an expert in trauma-informed training for law enforcement, and how she is helping educate officers in handling sexual assault cases. Mike also reflects on his own trauma from a past police shooting incident and discusses how officers often use dark humor as a coping mechanism. With insightful commentary on trauma, mental health awareness, and real stories of survival, this episode is a must-watch for anyone affected by PTSD or working in high-stress environments like law enforcement.
Take a step back in time and see where it all began for The Suffering Podcast. Episode 9 was the first time that Mike and Kevin appeared together in front of the microphone. Only on audio at the time, this animated and re-cut version of the original podcast airing on February 14th, 2021 is the beginnings of a partnership that lasted until Mike could no longer out run his demons and took his life on May 9th 2024.
This heartfelt episode shows glimpses of where the podcast began and formulated its current structure. Only two men who have that chemistry could create magic like you’ve seen on countless podcast episodes.
