When the Helper Breaks: The Untold Trauma Inside Corrections

https://firstresponderwellness.co/masterclass/

FIRST RESPONDER WELLNESS PODCAST EPISODE #111

In this profoundly moving conversation, former corrections sergeant and mental health advocate Syndi Treece shares the emotional truth of working inside America’s prisons—where trauma is constant, connection is complicated, and silence can destroy lives. Syndi opens up about losing nine colleagues in six months, becoming numb from years of suppressing her own pain, and ultimately rebuilding herself through breathwork, vulnerability, and honest community. Now serving as President of the Los Angeles chapter of Promise to Live, Syndi helps first responders and veterans find hope through connection and compassion. This episode is essential for anyone working in public safety, leadership, mental health, or who has ever felt the pressure of being “the strong one.”

About Syndi Syndi Trezise is a former corrections sergeant, mental health professional, and U.S. military veteran who now leads the Los Angeles chapter of Promise to Live, a national movement dedicated to suicide prevention and mental health awareness. She teaches first responders, veterans, and communities how to speak openly about struggle and choose life.
