    The Hidden Cost of Being a Police Officer | Kevin P. Donaldson | PTSD, Trauma, Sobriety & Healing

    What is the hidden cost of being a police officer? For Kevin P. Donaldson, the answer wasn’t found in the physical dangers of the job. It was found in the invisible wounds that followed. After surviving post-traumatic stress following an on-duty shooting in 2014, Kevin faced battles that few people ever see. His journey through trauma, PTSD, childhood adversity, addiction, sobriety, mental health struggles, and ultimately healing has made him one of the leading voices for first responders, veterans, and anyone searching for hope after adversity. In this episode of the Peace • Power • & Purpose Podcast, Kevin shares his story with complete honesty. We discuss: • The hidden cost of law enforcement • PTSD and officer-involved shootings • Childhood trauma and its lifelong impact • Mental health and suicide prevention • Addiction, sobriety, and recovery • Faith, resilience, and finding purpose through suffering • Why healing begins when we confront our pain instead of hiding from it Kevin is the host of The Suffering Podcast, an Amazon bestselling author, nationally recognized speaker, and co-founder of the Dented Development Project, a nonprofit dedicated to helping veterans, first responders, and others recover from life’s deepest wounds.
