Cops don't break on the job. They break slowly, quietly, in the space between calls — carrying everything they've ever seen, heard, and survived until the bucket finally overflows.
Dr. Stacy Raymond knows what's in that bucket. She's sat across from officers who've held it together for decades — on the street, in the squad room, at home — until they couldn't anymore. Her book, Dump the Bucket: Healing Trauma in Police with EMDR, doesn't deal in platitudes. It deals in truth: that the trauma destroying officers didn't always start on the job. And that EMDR might be the most powerful tool in law enforcement wellness that nobody's talking about.
This is a conversation about what it actually takes to heal — not manage, not cope, not white-knuckle through another shift. Heal. If you wear a badge, treat the ones who do, or love someone who brings the job home every night — this one's for you.
