Healing Heroes: Dr. Jana Price | Fit For Duty #34
Our guest for today's episode, Dr. Jana Price Sharps. A Psychologist with a specialization with helping first responders who has a unique approach to helping those who serve our communities.
Jana shares her story of starting her career by working with individuals battling addiction, and how her path eventually led her to focus on the unsung heroes of our society—first responders. She passionately explains her motivation to give back to those who dedicate their lives to our safety.
We dive into some of the struggles faced by first responders, the pervasive stigma surrounding mental health within their ranks, and Jana's personal experiences of going on numerous ride-alongs to gain an intimate understanding of their lives and challenges.
One of the key highlights of this episode is Jana's distinctive therapeutic approach. She reveals how she shatters the traditional mold of therapy by engaging in open, empathetic conversations that don't rely on clichéd questions like "How does that make you feel?" Instead, she helps first responders explore where their lives are now, where they aspire to be for true happiness, and the practical steps they can take to reach that goal.
This episode is a testament to the power of human connection, empathy, and the resiliency of our first responders. It's an essential listen for anyone interested in dismantling the stigma surrounding mental health in the first responder community and witnessing the healing that can occur when compassion leads the way.
