 | Tim Grutzius @holisticff @TruthPathing I am doing well tonight, how are you? Just a little tired as I just got off from a 36 hour shift. #ptsdchat |
| The Happy Hunker @bannedtweet Just wrapped up a 5-way conversation about moving an antique car from rural MD to rural FL. #PTSDChat |
 | Sue Wood @TruthPathing #PTSDchat Tim will lead us tonight in discussing answers to what we do when we find “Mud on the High Road” |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing RT @holisticff: @TruthPathing I am doing well tonight, how are you? Just a little tired as I just got off from a 36 hour shift. #ptsdchat |
| Tim Grutzius @holisticff @TruthPathing Sue wanted me to talk about how I pushed through the muck and mud that I have encountered on this journey called life. #ptsdchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing @holisticff Glad u r here and doing well! #ptsdchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing @tanya_dixon Hi, Tanya! How are you? Wonderful links! TY! #ptsdchat |
| The Happy Hunker @bannedtweet @holisticff @TruthPathing I was going to suggest using an airboat but I don't really know how well they go in muck. #PTSDChat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing RT @bannedtweet: TA-DA #PTSDChat |
| Tim Grutzius @holisticff @TruthPathing 21 years ago I bore witness to something I never imagined. I responded to the suicide of a friend and colleague. This was the trigger for a 16 year battle with undiagnosed PTSD. #ptsdchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing @bannedtweet Glad you are here! How are you? #ptsdchat |
| The Happy Hunker @bannedtweet @TruthPathing Better than I could be. How's yo-self? #PTSDChat |

| Tim Grutzius @holisticff My healing journey all started with an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper that said INTRODUCTION TO FIREFIGHTER BEHAVIORAL HEALTH #ptsdchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing RT @bannedtweet: @TruthPathing Better than I could be. How's yo-self? #PTSDChat |
| The Happy Hunker @bannedtweet @holisticff @TruthPathing Please don't take this the wrong way but I don't want to "Like" that. #PTSDChat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing @bannedtweet Doing OK. #ptsdchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing RT @holisticff: My healing journey all started with an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper that said INTRODUCTION TO FIREFIGHTER BEHAVIORAL HEALTH #ptsdchat |
| Tim Grutzius @holisticff @bannedtweet @TruthPathing No worries my friend, it is something that is a part of my journey so no offense taken. #ptsdchat. |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing @holisticff What was your feeling about going there, and about joining in? Any false starts? #ptsdchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing RT @holisticff: @bannedtweet @TruthPathing No worries my friend, it is something that is a part of my journey so no offense taken. #ptsdchat. |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing RT @bannedtweet: @holisticff @TruthPathing Please don't take this the wrong way but I don't want to "Like" that. #PTSDChat |
| Tim Grutzius @holisticff This piece of paper led me to a therapist who was a founding contributor to the Illinois Firefighter Peer Support Team. It was my association with her and the team that led me to my 1st exposure with therapy. #ptsdchat |

| The Happy Hunker @bannedtweet @holisticff The hillbilly in me probably would probably read that all-cap first line and toss it. The geek in me would wonder why I'm being yelled at. Hillbilly geeks tend not to procreate overly much. #PTSDChat |
| Tim Grutzius @holisticff @TruthPathing I did not go to this class, but I called the therapist running it and that was the beginning of my healing journey. #ptsdchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing @holisticff She had to create a lot of trust. #ptsdchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing RT @holisticff: @TruthPathing I did not go to this class, but I called the therapist running it and that was the beginning of my healing journey. #ptsdchat |
| The Happy Hunker @bannedtweet @holisticff So how long ago was that meetup? #PTSDChat |
| Tim Grutzius @holisticff @TruthPathing She did. This therapy experience was an examination of thoughts, and after 5 sessions, I was deemed independent, and the therapy was terminated. #ptsdchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing @bannedtweet @holisticff What would draw you into a therapy group or session, or would another setting be more workable for you? #ptsdchat |
| Tim Grutzius @holisticff @bannedtweet January of 2014. I attended the peer support training in April of the same year. #ptsdchat. |

| The Happy Hunker @bannedtweet @holisticff @TruthPathing Wow. 5 sessions. Sounds like a whirlwind tour-de-health. I wish I could get better in 5 sessions of anything. #PTSDChat |

| Tim Grutzius @holisticff @bannedtweet @TruthPathing I will continue with this story as it was not the end of therapy for me. #ptsdchat |

| The Happy Hunker @bannedtweet @holisticff @TruthPathing Ha. I knew it. I can figure out a plot right away. #PTSDChat |
| Tim Grutzius @holisticff I am also a strong believer in holistic healing. I was receiving acupuncture sessions at the same time as therapy and that really brought the crap out of the recesses of my mind. I needed the therapy to make sense of this all. It brought back things from childhood #ptsdchat |
| Tim Grutzius @holisticff @bannedtweet @TruthPathing You did not think it would be that easy did you? #ptsdchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing @holisticff @bannedtweet This is an important pathway to healing. Individual, but there are similarities, and it also shows people what they might expect. #ptsdchat |
| The Happy Hunker @bannedtweet @holisticff Eww. Childhood things are icky. #PTSDChat |
| The Happy Hunker @bannedtweet @holisticff @TruthPathing No. Always lots of time to fill between commercials. #PTSDChat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing @tanya_dixon I’m doing OK, thanks! Hope tomorrow is a good day for you! #ptsdchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing RT @bannedtweet: @holisticff @TruthPathing Ha. I knew it. I can figure out a plot right away. #PTSDChat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing RT @holisticff: @bannedtweet @TruthPathing You did not think it would be that easy did you? #ptsdchat |
| Tim Grutzius @holisticff I began to find purpose in the peer support work which led me to start my own personal blog. I started tweeting about my journey and blog posts. @ @KateGillieART reached out to me and asked me to join this chat, and I am still going strong after almost 4 years here #ptsdchat |

It brought back things from childhood #ptsdchat |
| Tim Grutzius @holisticff @bannedtweet I cannot go into all of that but I brought childhood traumas with me to the fire service. Pile on all the stuff I saw there and voila - PTSD #ptsdchat |

| The Happy Hunker @bannedtweet @holisticff @KateGillieART I remember @KateGillieART. Tall chick w/ big mouth. Her words not mine. At least they'd be hers if she said them. #PTSDChat |
| The Happy Hunker @bannedtweet @holisticff Do we ever stop being 6yo boys? I doubt it. #PTSDChat |
| Tim Grutzius @holisticff Several years passed and I was doing great. Two years ago I began spiraling a bit and my anxiety levels increased as I began building my own fitness and wellness consulting biz (still working on it). I began to self-doubt. #ptsdchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing @holisticff @KateGillieART So you got to help yourself sort and heal while helping others. #ptsdchat Interesting effect of acupuncture bringing out emotional memories. Would like to hear details. |

| Tim Grutzius @holisticff @bannedtweet A big mental trauma for me was at 5 years old. #ptsdchat |

| Sue Wood @TruthPathing RT @bannedtweet: @holisticff Do we ever stop being 6yo boys? I doubt it. #PTSDChat |
| The Happy Hunker @bannedtweet @holisticff Do tell #PTSDchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing RT @holisticff: Several years passed and I was doing great. Two years ago I began spiraling a bit and my anxiety levels increased as I began building my own fitness and wellness consulting biz (still working on it). I began to self-doubt. #ptsdchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing @holisticff About FD work, the business, or that and daily life? #ptsdchat |
| Tim Grutzius @holisticff @TruthPathing @KateGillieART It would be too long to do this here. I kept a journal that had very dark thoughts and experiences contained within the pages. I still have that journal Sue. I also found reiki and became a reiki master practitioner. #ptsdchat |
| Tim Grutzius @holisticff @bannedtweet I can do that in a DM #ptsdchat |
| The Happy Hunker @bannedtweet @holisticff Well, I don't want to know that bad. Mine aren't any better. It's a lot of work to share that stuff so I usually wait for a really good reason. #PTSDChat |
| Tim Grutzius @holisticff @TruthPathing All of the above. This led me to a return to counseling "check-in" that last 9 months. As the therapist said, I had one foot out the door from the day I walked into her office. It lasted much longer because we explored the emotional side of the equation. #ptsdchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing #Word #Pic #Art for this evening’s #PTSDchat https://t.co/qujH97rayL |

| Tim Grutzius @holisticff @bannedtweet I can relate my friend. I have found the more I share, the easier it becomes. I will be interviewed on a Podcast tomorrow afternoon where I chronicle a closure I received as I am ready to close out my career in the fire service. #ptsdchat |

| Tim Grutzius @holisticff @TruthPathing But well worth the ride #ptsdchat |
| The Happy Hunker @bannedtweet @TruthPathing Is that a monkey medical procedure? #PTSDChat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing @holisticff @KateGillieART We need a chat or chats on acupuncture & reiki. #ptsdchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing RT @holisticff: @bannedtweet I can relate my friend. I have found the more I share, the easier it becomes. I will be interviewed on a Podcast tomorrow afternoon where I chronicle a closure I received as I am ready to close out my career in the fire service. #ptsdchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing @holisticff @bannedtweet Repost for us, if you can, as you do. #ptsdchat |
| Tim Grutzius @holisticff The emotional side was much more difficult to navigate. I would go into a session well rehearsed, and be told "Tim, those are just words, how do you really feel?" That would piss me off. #ptsdchat |
| Tim Grutzius @holisticff @TruthPathing @bannedtweet I will once it is released. #ptsdchat |
| The Happy Hunker @bannedtweet @holisticff "How much feeling would you like to experience?" #PTSDChat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing RT @holisticff: @TruthPathing @bannedtweet I will once it is released. #ptsdchat |
| Tim Grutzius @holisticff @TruthPathing @KateGillieART or a podcast where I interview an acupuncturist. I can speak to reiki. #ptsdchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing RT @holisticff: @TruthPathing @KateGillieART or a podcast where I interview an acupuncturist. I can speak to reiki. #ptsdchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing @holisticff @KateGillieART I vote for both! #ptsdchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing RT @holisticff: The emotional side was much more difficult to navigate. I would go into a session well rehearsed, and be told "Tim, those are just words, how do you really feel?" That would piss me off. #ptsdchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing @holisticff Control issues (multiple) in that. #ptsdchat |
| Tim Grutzius @holisticff @bannedtweet It lasted 9 months, so I felt a lot. Basically, I was asked to examine my feelings- what were they telling me? We always feel before we think. There was an article published in mindful magazine. If I can find it, I will post it. It explains it better #ptsdchat |

| Sue Wood @TruthPathing @holisticff @bannedtweet We feel before we think. Interesting. #ptsdchat |
| Tim Grutzius @holisticff @TruthPathing I was told that I was trying to control everything that happened in a session. Trying to make it go the way I wanted it too. There was a lot of shame involved, that I was fighting admitting to. In the 9th month, I finally relented, and the sessions went better. #ptsdchat |
| Tim Grutzius @holisticff @TruthPathing @bannedtweet I will find that article #ptsdchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing @holisticff @bannedtweet In your work you seemingly have to react to the emergency situation and feel/sort later, which often doesn’t get done. Makes sense. The order in which you have to work is backwards to the order in which we all naturally live/react. #ptsdchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing RT @holisticff: @TruthPathing @bannedtweet I will find that article #ptsdchat |

| Sue Wood @TruthPathing @holisticff But were you led in that by how you have to work in emergencies? “Normal” work pattern, seemingly. #ptsdchat |
| Tim Grutzius @holisticff @TruthPathing @bannedtweet Being an empath makes this job much harder. Many times when we responded to confirm a death, I began to take absorb the emotions of loved ones. This leads to compassion fatigue. #ptsdchat |
| The Happy Hunker @bannedtweet @TruthPathing @holisticff Yeah. When I consider things, I often get imagery in response - which is visual feeling. The interesting part is converting the imagery to rationalization and then see if it's a bunch of nonsense or not. #PTSDchat |

| Tim Grutzius @holisticff @TruthPathing Much of the shame came from childhood experiences of being bullied, feeling as if it was my fault that my parents did not get along. #ptsdchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing @holisticff @bannedtweet Interesting conflict between naturally being an empath and trying to control emotions for so long in therapy sessions. #ptsdchat |
| The Happy Hunker @bannedtweet I think empathy makes you aware of the absorption right away. Without empathy, you'd still absorb but not know it. #PTSDChat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing RT @holisticff: @TruthPathing Much of the shame came from childhood experiences of being bullied, feeling as if it was my fault that my parents did not get along. #ptsdchat |
| Tim Grutzius @holisticff @bannedtweet @TruthPathing Our brain works so fast, that we might react before that rationalization #ptsdchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing RT @bannedtweet: @TruthPathing @holisticff Yeah. When I consider things, I often get imagery in response - which is visual feeling. The interesting part is converting the imagery to rationalization and then see if it's a bunch of nonsense or not. #PTSDchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing RT @holisticff: @bannedtweet @TruthPathing Our brain works so fast, that we might react before that rationalization #ptsdchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing @bannedtweet @holisticff So what percent do you find valid? #ptsdchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing RT @bannedtweet: I think empathy makes you aware of the absorption right away. Without empathy, you'd still absorb but not know it. #PTSDChat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing @bannedtweet Then what? #ptsdchat |
| The Happy Hunker @bannedtweet @holisticff @TruthPathing Well, we use imagery for a placeholder, which indicates something is there. It really does look like gobbledygook when the raw images are written down. #PTSDChat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing RT @bannedtweet: @holisticff @TruthPathing Well, we use imagery for a placeholder, which indicates something is there. It really does look like gobbledygook when the raw images are written down. #PTSDChat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing @bannedtweet @holisticff Can you add to that? #ptsdchat |
| Tim Grutzius @holisticff @TruthPathing @bannedtweet It was an intense journey, but fortunately for me my therapist was also an empath who guided me through this paradox. #ptsdchat |
| The Happy Hunker @bannedtweet @TruthPathing It's like any storage that you fill up w/o ever monitoring it. Eventually you wind up w/ some sort of cascading or catastrophic failure. #PTSDChat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing RT @holisticff: @TruthPathing @bannedtweet It was an intense journey, but fortunately for me my therapist was also an empath who guided me through this paradox. #ptsdchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing @holisticff @bannedtweet What advice did she give? #ptsdchat |
| Tim Grutzius @holisticff @bannedtweet True, but I had to learn how to set boundaries and separate what is mine, and what is someone else's #ptsdchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing RT @bannedtweet: @TruthPathing It's like any storage that you fill up w/o ever monitoring it. Eventually you wind up w/ some sort of cascading or catastrophic failure. #PTSDChat |
| The Happy Hunker @bannedtweet @TruthPathing @holisticff Like, in gobbledygook? #PTSDChat |
| Tim Grutzius @holisticff @TruthPathing @bannedtweet I just tweeted her advice #ptsdchat |

| Sue Wood @TruthPathing RT @bannedtweet: @TruthPathing @holisticff Like, in gobbledygook? #PTSDChat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing @bannedtweet @holisticff OK, but then you have to translate. #ptsdchat |
| Tim Grutzius @holisticff Here's the article I referenced. https://t.co/fz2QS8IfAe #ptsdchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing @holisticff @bannedtweet Just saw that. That would be quite a lesson in recognition between your energy, etc. and someone else. Seemingly would take a while to learn to discern. #ptsdchat |
| The Happy Hunker @bannedtweet @TruthPathing @holisticff I haven't translated it. It may well turn out to be crap. #PTSDChat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing #PTSDchat |
| Tim Grutzius @holisticff Here is another https://t.co/iezFpTdax7 #ptsdchat |

| Sue Wood @TruthPathing RT @bannedtweet: @TruthPathing @holisticff I haven't translated it. It may well turn out to be crap. #PTSDChat |
| Tim Grutzius @holisticff @TruthPathing @bannedtweet I still have my moments. At the end of the day, I must reconcile the fact that I am an imperfect being who will have lapses with emotions. Breathe in breathe out, move on. #ptsdchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing @holisticff Thank you for posting that! #ptsdchat |

| Tim Grutzius @holisticff Since we are getting close to the end, I will finish my story at another time. Once the podcast is released, I will post about my story of closure #ptsdchat |
| Tim Grutzius @holisticff RT @TruthPathing: @holisticff That title speaks to me! #ptsdchat |
| Tim Grutzius @holisticff Have a great week all, I need to power down after a 36 hour busy shift #ptsdchat |
| Sue Wood @TruthPathing #PTSDchat Tim @holisticff thank you for taking time to tell about your experiences, and give in-depth step-by-step information. It’s important for people in all stages of healing to learn and understand what is available to them, and how things work. #EndStigma by talking! |
