Dr. Kate Pate on Vets, First Responders and why “Being Triggered” is More Complicated Than You Think

We are never more than one connection away from a veteran or first responder.They are the ULTRA helping professions. During the pandemic, many were the first line of protection and care. Over 20 years of The Global War of Terror, many have experienced repeated deployments with an anodyne “thank you for your service” and a bad country music song as their only Thank You.But how many of us have asked how we can be part of THEIR solution network?Meet Dr. Kate Pate, a neurophysiologist who is looking at the ways our brains impact our bodies, and how we heal both in harmony. Kate is laser-focused on the health and healing needs of our veterans and first responders, which means she’s focused on matters that impact our entire society.Her perspective is grounded in healing and is relevant to all of us because we’re connected to these folks or need similar healing. She gets the role recovery plays in the equation and she brings true illumination to things like, “what’s a trigger?” and “is this PTSD?”Dr. Kate Pate is one of the most impressive and insightful people we’ve ever met and you are going to love her. Dr Kate Pate’s IG: https://www.instagram.com/doc.pate/Episode link:  https://www.tmstpod.com/episodes/54-dr-kate-pate-vets-first-responders-being-triggeredTranscript: https://tell-me-something-true.simplecast.com/episodes/dr-kate-pate-on-vets-first-responders-and-why-being-triggered-is-more-complicated-than-you-think/transcriptSpotify playlist for this episode: Tell Me Something True is a 100% independent podcast.
