The Invisible Wheelchair: Understanding Unseen Trauma

In this powerful first episode of Tear Off the Tape, I sit down with Bob Harriman, a retired RCMP officer who's lived a life defined by resilience. Growing up with a mother battling mental illness, Bob learned early on how to navigate life's challenges. From potentially heading down a dark path to finding purpose through the Boys and Girls Club, his story is a testament to the power of community and personal growth. We dive deep into his experiences as a police officer, dealing with 104 fatal accidents, and the mental toll of witnessing trauma. Bob shares candidly about the importance of vulnerability, the need to 'tear off the tape' and talk about our experiences, and how seeking help isn't weakness—it's strength. His journey is a powerful reminder that we can transform our pain into purpose.
