I turned around to see a masked man pointing a gun at me. It was just the beginning of a series of events, including robbery and abduction, which changed my life forever. I Need Blue, hosted by Jen Lee, is a podcast series featuring lived-experiences from survivors of life events. I NEED BLUE creates space for survivors of trauma to feel they BELONG, are LOVED, UNDERSTOOD and EMPOWERED! I called 9-1-1 and they provided me with life-saving directions to help my customer who was having a medical emergency. Law enforcement rescued us and caught the robber. Our first-responders face unique traumas every day. I NEED BLUE provides space for them too!

episode 9: Episode 9 Embracing Contradictions: Survivors' Journey to Reclaiming Their Sense of Safety - Jen Lee
It thinks it fair to say, most military, law enforcement, and law-abiding citizens learn gun safety and training without experiencing a traumatic situation beforehand. Not me. I’m learning backwards. I’m a victim of gun violence first, vs. someone learning to protect themselves to not become a victim of violence. Jen Lee (host) shares her current story of confronting the weapon which a decade ago instilled such fear.
Does this sound familiar? You're a trauma survivor desperately trying to reclaim your sense of safety and security. But the journey is filled with complex emotions and contradictions that seem impossible to navigate. You've been told to face your fear of firearms, but that alone doesn't provide the confidence and empowerment you seek. Instead, it leaves you feeling even more vulnerable and helpless. The pain of taking that action and not getting the desired results is crushing. But fear not because we will explore a different approach in this episode. One that delves into the depths of your emotions provides trusted support and helps you reclaim your safety from a place of understanding and self-empowerment.
