## Resource

What happens when your career isn't just what you do, but who you are? In this episode of Igniting the Shift Within, host David Dachinger speaks with retired paramedic and firefighter- turned-trauma specialist Daniel Sundahl, who shares his journey through PTSD, suicidal ideation, and eventual post-traumatic growth. They dissect the insidious nature of cumulative trauma, explaining how passive suicidal thoughts can quietly creep up on first responders. He introduces actionable concepts from his book, UnStuck: How to Stop Reacting, Start Responding, and Create Lasting Inner Peace. Through his book, Sundahl strives to help individuals navigate intense workplace stressors by shifting from external validation to self-actualized core values.
