Episode 284 | Resilience & Rebuilding After Grief & Trauma with Todd Maguire
In today's episode of Psych Talk I chat with Todd Maguire, former law enforcement officer with the Queensland Police Service and author. Todd shares his story of trauma and resilience, starting with the unexpected suicide of his partner Karen. We discuss Todd's undercover police work as "Donny", the trauma he endured undercover, and how being undercover allowed him to avoid the suffering he was experiencing in his real life. Todd shares the impact of these traumas on his mental health and wellbeing and the steps he took to finally start to rebuild his life and tap into his resilience in the midst of his trauma and grief. We spoke about his book Donny: An Undercover Cop with a Death Wish and Todd provides words of encouragement to anyone who may be currently struggling with trauma or grief. Information shared by guests on Psych Talk are reflective of their own values, perspectives, and life experiences. Psych Talk values platforming various perspectives and experiences even if those views are not necessarily reflective of Psych Talk’s values and perspectives.
