Note: I want to apologize for the audio quality of this episode. The interview with Dr. Artwohl was recorded while I was traveling to present a class. With that said, the insights and  information she shared during our discussion are far too important and valuable not to share.

Guest:

Dr. Alexis Artwohl is a retired clinical and police psychologist who provided traumatic incident debriefings to numerous public safety personnel and citizens in the Pacific Northwest. She co-authored two books with Loren Christensen, published research in the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin and the Law Enforcement Executive Forum, contributed chapters to books, and authored magazine articles. She has provided training to law enforcement and responsibly armed citizens across the country since 1990.
