The Frontier Psychiatrists is a daily health-themed newsletter. Today's post is a guest article by friend of the newsletter
. I strongly recommend subscribing to his newsletter while you're at it!Leon used to work as a police officer, and today he brings us a story about what it's like to try to maintain your compassion in high-pressure environments. Spoiler alert, it's not easy.
I want to share a special thank you today, in advance of Thanksgiving, for all of the first responders, police, and medical professionals who will be working on a holiday most of us don't. Every time there's an an emergency on Thanksgiving, there are emergency workers who are spending time with your family, and not theirs, and I'm endlessly grateful for their service.
