From Caves to Cocklofts: psychological accountability, leadership & career survival

From Caves to Cocklofts

While our bodies have long stepped out of the cave and onto the curbs of our communities, our brains continue to guard us like we just learned to walk on two feet. Our ever-vigilant survival brains keep us safe and effective at our jobs but over the long term our bodies and minds struggle to stay well. We’ll be digging into the psychology of a public safety career. How has the service changed our bodies and minds? What are we doing to ourselves, what do we have to accept, and what can we change? With honest (sometimes harsh) reflection, we will begin to hold ourselves accountable for our own psychological health and build understanding and skills to support the next generation.
