Relieving PTSD, Depression, Anxiety & Trauma with Captain Dan Willis
Jul 21, 2026
Everybody deals with some level of trauma in their life. For some, trauma is severe enough to leave lasting effects, including post-traumatic stress.
Captain Dan Willis, retired Homicide Detective and SWAT Commander, as well as wellbeing coordinator and teacher, talks about the high levels of PTSD and trauma among first responders. He shares insights and tools from his book, Bulletproof Spirit:
- How trauma accumulates in small increments for first responders who are exposed to the worst of human nature, day in and day out.
- The telltale signs of trauma and PTSD…How trauma “crushes the spirit and “suffocates the heart”.
- The essential strategies to heal the broken spirit.
- How loved ones and peers can offer support to those living with trauma and PTSD.
