About this episode

Cameron McKay shares his powerful story of resilience and trauma after being shot on duty as a police officer.

Hello and welcome back - Today I am speaking with friend of the pod, Cameron McKay. If you listened to episode 23, you'll recognize his voice. Cam is a fellow trauma survivor and creator of Shit Creek Survivors podcast. You can also listen to the podcast on Spotify. Together we talk about Cam's experience being shot on duty when he was working as a police officer. He talks a little about what the job was like, the mentality of being someone who endures trauma for a living (because being a cop is not like other jobs), and how being shot led to him unraveling things that had long been buried.

I hope this episode helps those of you who have endured similar circumstances. Please let us know if you have questions for Cam, as I am already planning to get him back for a Part Two.
