I go to a boxing class. I work out my temper & frustrations there. I also talk to a non-union therapist. Some cases are harder to let go of than others.

I know it's kinda tabu in Law Enforcement, but I go to therapy at least once a week, it has helped me deal with a lot of bad stuff.

Talking about it with a shrink, got depression after a horrible case and it has been very helpful.

Leaving that stuff at work and not bringing it home. My house is my happy place and where I seek comfort from my family.

Talking to a therapist and exercising!

Not thinking about work at home AT ALL.

Seeing my wife and kids and enjoying my time out of the jail made me forget it. I think it depends on how physical it gets for you. I had a few uses of force, but no one ever assaulted me , if you’re fighting every day, maybe harder to forget.

Remind yourself that they are all part of the job. You need to adjust.

Talking to a friend. Or a therapist if you want a professional one. Exercising helps a lot too!

I have a young student with CVI and extremely limited mobility. She is able to vocalize but not speak.

However, I don’t even know where to start with researching the best one for her. Any suggestions?
