    Episode 103 LPC Heidi Johanson and LPC Laurie Todd: EMDR vs. ART

    Welcome back ATO Family One of this shows mission is to create a platform to educate our listeners in the very complex and layered conversation of mental health and the many modalities and treatments that are available. This episode is one of our most information based shows as we take a deep dive into EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) and ART ( Accelerated Resolution Therapy). This show has talked about EMDR at length to provide as much information as we could on this trauma therapy but we have not discussed ART at length so we thought we should host some subject matter experts to lay it own there for us to we can better understand what we are walking into. Todays guests are sisters that started the Healing Counselor Center and are trained in both EMDR and ART as well as CISM to help those in need before, during, and after crisis. Welcome on Laurie Todd and Heidi Johanson to the stage. EMDR vs ART EMDR is more cognitive, while ART is more visually oriented. EMDR guides people to replace negative thoughts with positive ones, while ART focuses on changing the visual and sensory aspects of memories. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, taps, or tones. ART incorporates elements from other therapeutic techniques, such as CBT, mindfulness, and guided imagery. EMDR is designed to reprocess traumatic memories to reduce their emotional impact. ART focuses on using creativity to explore emotions, gain insight, and promote healing. ART is often faster than EMDR, with sessions usually lasting 1–5. EMDR uses an 8-phase protocol that can take longer, depending on the complexity of the trauma. www.healingcounselingcenter.com/mckinney/

    Episode 101 Dallas Police Department Kevin Navarro # 4555: Every Day is a Training Day

    Welcome back ATO Family! Today we return with a true piece of Dallas Police history with the Great Kevin Navarro as we chronicle his amazing life and servant career. Kevin hired on with the Dallas Police Department in 1981 and remained in service until September 11th 2012 and he laid the foundation for future procedures and trainings that have molded young and old officers for generations to come. Officer Navarro started patrol at the Southwest Division before becoming a Detective in Assaults then ultimately in the Dallas Homicide Unit where he would work during the deadliest years in the City of Dallas history. During Kevin’s stay in Homicide he saw a record number of homicides during the deadly drug wars as we saw the murder rate go over 500 deaths. Kevin made his mark and changed the landscape of training at DPD with years at the Inservice academy when he brought revolutionary training such as RBT, Surveillance school, Pursuit class, and the Art of Interrogation. These courses still are molding our men and women of Dallas PD, and many other agencies today. Sit back and enjoy a true piece of Dallas Police lore with a genuine man with a servant’s heart. Critical Incidents discussed: The death and aftermath of Dallas Police Officer Gary Blair. EOW: March 20th, 1986 The passing of Sr. Cpl. Joey Fox on October 1st, 2018. Joey suffered a heart attack while off duty and his survived by his wife, Mary, and his children and stepchildren. Topics: Garden of Honor at Restland The Garden of Honor at Restland Cemetary once belonged to the family of my current employer. It was donated to be used as the final resting place for any Dallas County First Responder who dies in the line of duty. There is a monument in the center of the Garden envisioned and commissioned by Ray and Nancy Hunt. It has DPD and DFR uniforms affixed on the base of the monument with two angels on the top. One is holding a DFR Fireman and the other a DPD Officers as they ascend into heaven. This was Ray Hunt’s creation.

    Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia: Taking Off the Badge

    ”You were worth All the sacrifices.....” This is a special message from Dallas Chief Eddie Garcia as he is retiring, after nearly 33 years, from the law enforcement profession. It is a sad time for the Dallas Police Department as we are losing a true innovator and a “Cop’s Cop” natural leader for the Department. Eddie Garcia started his law enforcement career, age 21, at the San Jose Police Department and he rose to become Chief of that Department in 2016. He served in Narcotics, SWAT, the Homicide Unit and then began to climb into leadership, setting the path to Dallas Texas. The City of Dallas was reeling from skyrocketing crime, low Department morale and on the heels of covid and the defund the police movement and there was an opening for the Chief of Police position. The Department was in need of a strong leader, the community demanded a transparent Chief, and the City prayed for a figure that could turn around a much needed police department. In February of 2021 Chief Eddie Garcia took over as the Department’s 30th Police Chief and the first Latino Chief in its 140 year history and quickly went to work building his command staff, connecting with the community and building trust in the Department. Eddie was and always will be an old street cop masquerading as a four star chief and the City of Dallas if lucky to have had a glimpse of true leadership that we hope that other future Chiefs will take note. Chief Garcia will leave the Dallas Police Department on November 1st to start a new journey in the State’s Capital as the Assistant City Manager of Public Safety. We will miss you Boss and we love you. Garcia’s administrations accomplishments: Four straight years of violent crime reduction. Greenlighting the implementation of the Wellness Unit. Better relationships with community and city leaders. Alcohol Leave Policy that has assisted 14 officers to date. Authorizing the usage of blocker trucks to protect officers.

    Welcome back ATO Family We wanted to take this opportunity to give an update on the show and tell you about the Dallas Police Department’s upcoming David Clark Superhero Health Fair. This will be the third Health Fair that was created to provide active first responders with access to key medical screenings and technology used to identify silent health conditions, as well as direct access to preventative health services, nutrition resources, and fitness techniques. The idea for this fair was created by Carly Zoerb, the sister of Dallas Officer David Clark, who made it her passion to help first responders have access to needed preventative tests and education. The David Clark Superhero Health Fair was organized in honor a late Dallas police officer. The 33-year-old died unexpectedly from a heart attack on his way into work. Clark worked for the Dallas Police Department for 12 years and was described as someone who enjoyed helping people. David was the model of physical fitness and took diet and working out very serious. Currently Dallas officers are not required to have annual physicals or evaluations. Russ Burnham with Frontline Mobile Health joined us for this episode and gave incredible perspective and insight on the resources that will be available.

    Episode 100: Dallas SWAT Danny Canete #8834: A Voice From The Darkness

    **** Trigger Warning Alert**** Episode 100 was always going to be a special episode for our show but when I got today’s guest to finally agree to tell his story I knew I wanted to make it extra special for the listener but also make it special for one of my best friends and one of the most Impressive humans I have ever met. – Joe King. We are honored to share this stage with Dallas SWAT Operator and ATO: Bridging the Divide Co-Creator, Daniel Canete. Danny gravitated to music at the age of five and quickly began mastering the language and art of music as he became a student of the piano. Most students that age avoided the stage, but Danny ran to it and excelled and built on his natural inquisitive nature and quickly began performing on that stage. Playing at churches, then to recitals, then began dominating in local and state competitions. He was a natural on the performance stage, this trait will become very important as later he will find himself on a life and death stage. As a musician, his desire was to share music with people to perpetuate a love for the arts and to educate the public in order to keep the classical arts alive. He mastered the piano and percussion but the five-octave marimba will always hold a special place in Danny’s heart. Danny left his mark on the music world at Colorado State as a scholarship was created in his name, the Daniel Canete Music Performance Scholarship. Sometimes we all reach crossroads in life and are thrust into a difficult decision as we navigate our life journey. Danny, with all of his skills and successes and dedication to music, was not impervious to these life changing decisions. 9/11 changed us all and changed the world but for some people, people like Danny, it provided him a new calling to serve this world in a different way. He chose to serve with the Dallas Police Department and was assigned to “God’s Country”, the Southeast Division and fell in love with being a street cop and serving the citizens. This story will finally give the listener a peek into the life of a very private man that just happens to have a very high-profile profession as a member of Dallas SWAT. The stage is set and the ATO listeners are making their way to their seats to see a true talented and gifted performer. Thank you for all of the support you have given us since August of 2021, it has been an incredible journey to 100. Special Thanks: Billings PD Lt. Brandon Wooley USAF Lt. Colonel Zach, Cougar, Fennell Dr. Janet Landreth SWAT Lt. Andre Taylor SWAT ASL Matt Smith SWAT Sgt. Ryan Scott SWAT Brandon Berie Trent Custis Kimberly Canete Critical Incidents Discussed: February 13th, 2012 Officer involved shooting in Pleasant Grove, Southeast Division, as CRT members engaged a robbery suspect. July 7th 2016 The shooting in downtown Dallas on July 7th 2016 when five Officers were killed, and nine others were wounded during a protest in downtown Dallas Texas. Two civilians were also injured during this cowardly attack as it was the deadliest incident for law enforcement since the September 11th, 2001, attacks.
