Episode 17: Breaking the Stigma: Mental Health, PTSD & Life Beyond the Uniform with Dr. Thalia Nicholson
In this episode of 8158: Stories of Sacrifice, we sit down with Dr. Thalia Nicholson, a licensed psychologist and fire wife of over 11 years, to tackle one of the most pressing topics in the first responder community: mental health.
Thalia shares her professional insights and personal experiences on the challenges first responders and their families face, the stigma surrounding seeking help, and why creating purpose beyond the uniform is essential. She also explains the truth about confidentiality, evidence-based treatments for PTSD, and practical steps departments can take to support their teams.
Whether you’re a first responder, a spouse, or someone passionate about mental health, this conversation will leave you informed and inspired.
