Hi everyone! I'm Liana, an EMT here in Oregon.

Real talk: I know most of us have had a partner who didn't understand why we come home and go silent. Who took the distance personally. Who didn't get why "I'm fine" sometimes means "I can't talk about it yet." That gap between us and the people who love us is real, and it wrecks relationships more than we like to admit.

I wrote So You're Dating a First Responder to close that gap — it's for the people loving any of us, in any role, so they finally have something that explains what we can't always say out loud. If your partner's ever said "I just don't get it," this might be the thing that helps them get it.

This is an amazing experience to participate in. Helping those brain pathways form healthy awareness and connection to yourself. It takes daily commitments to form those pathways and this is a great way to do this!

Yes - this. Healing doesn’t mean you won’t have tough feelings still. Healing means you understand the struggle more and know how to support yourself through it.

Anger is a normal emotion and tells us something isn’t right- whether logical or not. It can show us where inner wounds maybe. Anger is a secondary emotion which means we are never just angry. We are reacting to a primary emotion such as feeling left out, jealousy, feeling invisible, feeling hurt, anxiousness, fear, etc. Try to figure out your primary emotion and understand that emotion- where did that feeling come from? Knowledge helps us understand.

Tell the brain what you want. Avoid saying what you don’t want.

CONGRATULATIONS to Colin Schipferling, who was awarded the Stepping Stones Foundation $1000 scholarship. He will be attending ND State College of Science, Wahpeton as a freshman. Colin is getting his degree in Applied Science and he will be using that degree towards becoming a disease mechanic for Border Plains Equipment. He plans to “pay it forward” by one day having his own scholarship foundation and also by “becoming a functioning member of society”. We believe in you Colin! Congratulations and Good luck. Be safe, have fun, and never stop learning!
