10 IMPORTANT ANSWERS.
FIREFIGHTERS.
Prevent, Fight, and Win Against PTSD/PTSI Without Risking Your Career.
Have you ever wondered how some of the strongest firefighters in the world seem so amazingly calm, cool, and collected? So resilient and maybe even optimistic?
Everyone looks up to them. They seem like they can handle anything, go the distance in their careers, and have wonderful family lives. How do they do it?
My family, with my first responder dad, was chaotic in the 70s and 80s, and I loved him. But it does make it hard to understand how they do it today.
You have to think that these resilient firefighters must be stronger than average or are cut from a different mold, right?
What if that actually wasn't the case? What if these resilient firefighters had a secret weapon and they acquired it by doing something differently, learning something extra, and receiving proven, "not-taught-at-work" training like this being offered to you right now?
My name is Carla Lundblade. That's me and my dad, Carl (below). I have been a PTSD/PTSI clinical therapist for first responders for a long time and the #1 thing I get asked by firefighters is, "How the hell can I be resilient like that?”
The reality is that 94% of firefighters I've surveyed during department-wide, department-approved training programs report having PTSD/PTSI symptoms. If you're like most of them, you're probably not aware that you may be suffering right now. Even if you are aware, you probably feel like you need answers about what it is and what can be done about it.
To make matters worse, you probably aren't provided access to critical resources like preparedness training, ongoing training, and treatment without repercussions to your career, as most fire departments today still don't address PTSD/PTSI or, to put it more simply, don't know how.
You might even have resigned yourself to just keep suffering because you think there’s no way to get back to truly enjoying your life, family, and career.
I'm here to change that. I want to show you how you can prevent, fight, and win against firefighter PTSD/PTSI and be stronger than ever.
As proof, the City of Sacramento, California, wrote a letter of endorsement about my PTSD/PTSI work, which they provided for their firefighters (500+) and required as mandatory training. They recognized the normalcy of the PTSD/PTSI progression for all of their fire personnel, and the ability, given appropriate training and education, to stop it no matter when it strikes. In addition, they pledged to help with outreach efforts for first responders everywhere. Their letter to me read:
Today, I'm providing you with the very best of my professional and clinical expertise and joining forces with 10 of the most resilient firefighters/instructors from across the nation. All have been in the field and in a therapist's office. Together, we have created this effective, one-of-a-kind PTSD/PTSI prevention and recovery training program. And we're sharing our positive, "confidential-until-now" results, all with private access for you from your personal electronic devices.
Plus, I promised my dad I would continue this important mission of healing our first responders and families.
My Expertise Has Been Featured On:
Prevent, Fight, and Win Against PTSD/PTSI.
The problem isn't that you've developed PTSD/PTSI or that you could develop it in the future. It's that you're not equipped to tackle it and aren't taking the proven steps to combat it when it strikes. Most books that talk about firefighter PTSD/PTSI tell you a personal story. I know because I've researched what's available for you (and, more importantly, what's NOT available for you). Personal stories are wonderfully inspiring, no doubt. However, my complete training program includes experts who have teamed up to equip and protect you. We explain in clear, step-by-step detail, an action plan that, if you follow it, can help you overcome the debilitating effects of PTSD/PTSI without risking your career.
Introducing:
"American Firefighter PTSD/PTSI: Questions Firefighters Secretly Ask and Answers They Desperately Need"
"American Firefighter PTSD/PTSI: Questions Firefighters Secretly Ask and Answers They Desperately Need"
The step-by-step training program for a rewarding and long-lasting firefighter career, because there is no reason a firefighter should ever feel as if they have nowhere to turn for help, as if no one cared enough to listen, as if there were no process to follow or support system to access. Protect yourself. Advocate for yourself. Trust yourself.
Here's What You'll Discover:
The perfect PTSD/PTSI preparedness training. By preparing yourself, you become the one in control and the one with the training and capabilities to overcome it when it strikes. You train for everything else about your job. You need to train for this, too. Knowledge isn't just power here in this step, it's protection.
How to spot two critical PTSD/PTSI onset loops. Over my years in clinical practice, I have documented these initial stages, steps, and pitfalls many firefighters experience when symptoms begin. They may apply to you. If you know how to identify them early, you can dig in immediately and correct the damage, which prevents things from getting much worse.
My most trusted PTSD/PTSI treatment hack. It is this fool-proof process that prepares you when making decisions about who to talk to for help and when. It also teaches you the questions you should ask and how to choose wisely, so you can 100% protect your privacy, career, and family.

Firefighters’ Feedback After Contributing to This Program:
"Nice work Carla! Your dedication and follow-through on this issue are
nothing short of amazing. I wish my coworkers, who had succumbed to the symptoms, had received more PTSD/PTSI training and peer support. This work fills an important void in fire department culture and needs to be in the mandatory training calendar. I'm proud of you!”
Steve DeMartin, Fire Captain/Paramedic in Module 2
Sacramento Fire Department, California
“I always get thanked for my service but I want to thank you for yours, Carla. I hope this program is a huge success and ends up in
every firefighter’s hands at some point, and that they find the courage to seek help as I did, when — or before — they need it.”
Tony Cate, Lieutenant/Firefighter in Module 10
Baltimore City Fire Department, Maryland
“It’s not a secret there are people who don’t care to hear about PTSD/PTSI. People say to me, ‘It’s mind over matter. You have to let this go. You have to move on.’ No one understands until they’ve actually been in it. I love what you’re doing here, Carla! Perfect!”
Jimmy Sands, Firefighter in Module 3
New York City Fire Department (FDNY), New York
More Positive Feedback:
“Karl,” Assistant Fire Chief in Module 11, Rural Northern California
“Carla, I love what you're doing for all of us! I've enjoyed talking with you, and this project was so cool to be a part of. You made it really easy to talk. I feel like I have to help lead others down the path of, ‘You’re going to be okay.’ We’re still going to have those naysayers who will say, ‘Suck it up, Buttercup.’ However, those are the people who don’t want to advance the service anyway as far as I’m concerned. Fixing our suicide problem means being open and talking about PTSD/PTSI.”
Julie McIntyre, Engineer/Firefighter in Module 8, Sacramento Fire Department, California
“It’s so important as a firefighter to talk. On two occasions, I was written up by my captains for not talking or interacting during our downtime. I didn’t want my name to be on that list because I shared something with my coworkers. It took many years for me to trust. Now, I’ll tell you there are no secrets, and I’m open to listening and noticing others when things start to turn dark. We’re taking down the walls, Carla.”
“Brian,” Firefighter/Peace Officer in Module 7
“It was such an impactful discussion! I've listened to other conversations you’ve had on the air, Carla, and that’s why I was honored to be part of this project. I think it’s a great thing you’re doing bringing the discussion of firefighter PTSD/PTSI out into the open. It’s something that can really help people. This is big!”
PTSD/PTSI Affects You, Your Families, And Your Coworkers In So Many Ways.
The purpose of this instructional program is to provide a new, powerful, and confidential way to train every firefighter, from the beginning of their career through retirement and beyond. My mission is to help you become informed about the resources available because:
Firefighters’ suicide deaths have increased to 30 percent higher than all other work-related deaths combined and show no signs of decreasing (Powers, 2019).
Suicide is underreported by fire departments by as much as 50 percent (Powers, 2019).
An average firefighter will experience more death and carnage in two months than a highway patrol officer will experience in a decade (Powers, 2019).
Firefighters have PTSD/PTSI and depression at levels five times that of civilians (Heyman, Dill, & Douglas, 2018).
Firefighters experience 17 times more dysfunction in their marriages and family lives than the general population (Berninger et al., 2010). This has a huge impact on divorce rates and drastically increases the number of broken homes and broken families.
Fire department training has tripled over the last 10+ years, but there is still little training provided for PTSD/PTSI or mental health (Markey, 2016).
Firefighters are highly trained to respond “normally” in abnormal situations for their survival. PTSD/PTSI training is just as important for their survival (Prenski, 2019).

"Hi, Carla, Congratulations on the PTSD/PTSI project. I have watched your posts, know some of the folks in the book, and have read it. I believe in what you are doing in the realm of PTSD/PTSI, having lost coworkers and fire service friends to suicide or PTSD/PTSI that cost them their careers, families, etc. Reaching over 30 years in the fire service and still going, I know I have my share of events tucked away in that “little box that sits on the shelf in the back of my mind” that spills out sometimes. Thanks for your consideration and for doing what you are doing. If it can help one person in fire, law enforcement, or EMS, it’s all worth the work." - Bill Gillespie, Fire Chief, Crescent City Fire and Rescue, Humboldt Bay Fire, California

Now, we have learned a "proven" better way. Please choose it.
“Frank,” Current Firefighter, 15 Years, Module 4
“Carla, You translated what I said so perfectly. In our line of work, it’s important to be proactive, not reactive. After calls, we have to help each other feel at ease expressing our experiences and emotions. Talking with you the last few times has not only allowed me to be open and honest but also allowed me to revisit some of my own emotions. This program is such a great tool for helping so many. It's the “tip of the spear” opening so many doors to the help we need and deserve.”
