The Firefighter Deconstructed has the honor of having Jeff Smith on the show. Jeff spent 20 years as a paramedic in Vancouver, BC and launched a not-for-profit organization called The Detachment Technique, aimed at providing first responders resources and tools to understand and work through their trauma. He struggled with PTSD and almost lost his life to suicide. We get to hear from someone who was inches away from taking his own life when a police officer interrupted his attempt - so we can hear what was going through someone’s mind just before they tried to kill themselves. This is a powerful episode.
