A normal day for a cop is far from normal for the average person.  We are constantly faced with difficult, dangerous, or life-threatening situations.  Or we are the first ones on the scene after death has already taken place. 

After seeing all the dead bodies, and crazy situations police officers face every day, we are expected to just be “normal” in the other aspects of our lives.  This is not an easy feat for most cops, and oftentimes, we go down dark paths just to deal with the pain of work. In this episode, Gerritt discusses a process that helps him get through those difficult experiences and still live a normal life.  Here’s the show highlights:
