I Don’t Want To Shock The Therapist

Many first responders worry that if they share the full truth of what they’ve seen—or how they’ve learned to cope—the therapist will judge them, be overwhelmed, or shut down.
You’ve probably gotten used to keeping things vague, holding it in, or watering it down to protect the people around you.

But therapy isn’t a space where you need to censor yourself. Our therapists are trained to work with trauma, high-stakes environments, and the realities of frontline work.
You don’t have to soften the language. You don’t have to skip the hard parts. You can say the thing—and we’ll stay with you in it.
