Normal Daily Living (Being *Normal* Series)

Show Notes:
Today I am delighted to be joined once again by TC Randall. He brings his wealth of wisdom as an emergency room nurse of 14 years, as well as his experiences of having gone off work with PTSD, all of which he details in his fantastic book, The View From The Wrong Side of The Day that you can check out here. Today we are talking about the impact of first response and front line work on our daily living activities. Hear us chat about...
- The impact of the adrenaline highs and lows on our capacity to engage in life outside of work
- Developing awareness, recognizing our own limits and keeping boundaries to protect ourselves
- Finding outlets and thinking back to what we used to connect with. Using close approximations to develop interests and outlets.
- How we tell stories shapes our reality; using empathy to contextualize people and balance the negative skew
- Acknowledging the systemic limitations that keep us stuck and the need to be rebels on the inside
