They\u2019re also often familiar with the stigma that comes with it.We\u2019ve talked about PTSD and the stigma that comes with it on this show before. It\u2019s maybe twice as hard to endure when the firefighter suffering from it is a woman. PTSD has been seen as a sign of weakness, and, to some degree, it still is. The judgment can even come from firefighters who are experiencing PTSD themselves. Today\u2019s guest is a woman who left the fire service after she experienced severe PTSD. She even considered suicide as a solution. Christy Warren is a retired Captain from the Berkeley, California Fire Department. She has 25 years of service as a paramedic, with 17 years as a firefighter. She was diagnosed with PTSD in May of 2014. Now, Christy serves as a peer at the West Coast Post Trauma Retreat.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/fefb1804-7100-4531-b4ff-00e2ada84f37/cc55f2f78f35fa5174d44836e0292701.jpg"}
