About this listen
At some point, coping stops being enough.
In Part 2 of our Mental Health Awareness Month kickoff, Matt Davis continues his story. This time focusing on what happens after years of exposure to trauma in forensic work begin to accumulate.
He opens up about burnout, the limits of informal coping strategies, and the realization that processing trauma requires more than just pushing through it. Matt also shares his experience with counseling and EMDR therapy, and how structured mental health support changed the way he processes his career experiences.
Key topics include:
- Recognizing burnout in forensic professionals
- When coping mechanisms stop working
- The role of counseling in trauma processing
- EMDR therapy and trauma reprocessing
- Building long-term mental health support systems
- Reframing what it means to “handle the job”
This is where the conversation shifts: from surviving the work to learning how to sustain a career in it.
🎙️ This episode is part of our Mental Health Awareness Series, where we’re revisiting some of the most impactful conversations we’ve had around stress, burnout, trauma, and wellness in forensic science.
