Ep 143: Hypervigilance in Law Enforcement Families

Hypervigilance allows officers to stay aware and safe on the job. As an officer or spouse, you may be aware or have a general understanding of hypervigilance. You may even understand that what goes up must come down. Sadly, that single biological process that keeps our officers safe, can spill over like a tsunami in our relationships. We need to be aware of how it shows up and notice it to make changes. Garrett TeSlaa, who is an active law enforcement officer and host of the very popular Squad Room podcast talks about the impact of hypervigilance on the family and the impact he's making on officers and their families.   If you are interested in joining The Academy, visit thesquadroom.net/theacademy For any questions, reach out to Garrett at garrett@thesquadroom.net.
