Retired firefighter paramedic Matthew “Matty” Fiorenza and retired OC Sheriff Commander Jarrett Kurimay reveal the unseen crisis plaguing first responders: PTSD, addiction, and suicide. From trauma retreats to craniosacral therapy and faith-based healing, they expose the broken systems—and what actually works. Maddie’s raw testimony, including his relapse and suicide attempt, is featured in the Amazon documentary PTSD 911. This powerful conversation dives into complex PTSD, childhood trauma, moral injury, and how departments fail—or save—their own. A must-watch for anyone in public safety, mental health, or recovery.
