Dustin emphasizes:\nIt’s okay to “shop around” for the right therapist.\nYou should feel trust and connection.\nAgencies with embedded therapists are improving — but independent relationships are critical.\nFrom Survivor to Speaker\nToday, Dustin:\nSpeaks to law enforcement and civilian audiences\nEducates on trauma processing and resilience\nAdvocates for better administrative buy-in\nPerforms professional hypnosis shows (yes — even for sheriffs!)\nHe also shares a powerful message with civilians:\n“Your biggest trauma is your biggest trauma.
