Warrior

How to Support Those Who Protect Us

By: Shauna Springer PhD

Narrated by: Scott A. Huesing USMC (Ret), Shauna Springer

Warrior brings the worlds of the warrior and those they protect together to shine light on things that many of us thought we understood: trust, stigma, firearms, the imploding mind, and connection.

Dr. Shauna Springer is a nationally recognized expert on initiatives that benefit the military community. Known as "Doc Springer", she is a trusted adviser for a vast network of veterans, military families, and fellow thought leaders. She has helped thousands of veterans and their partners thrive after military service, supporting warriors in reconnecting with their tribe, strengthening their relationships, and building lives driven by their values.

In Warrior, Shauna offers a glimpse how our bravest citizens may struggle and draws from the experiences of our warfighters to help us understand true courage and the bonds of love that keep all of us in the fight.

Reading this gave me a window I didn’t have before.

This book is a fantastic look into the minds of our war fighters. Doc Springer’s perspective shatters the common misconception that our veterans are broken. As a group, and individually they are infinitely more resilient than most of us realize. This book is a guidebook for supporting and helping heal this tribe by tapping into this strength and instinct.

Mental health is a battle for anyone, veterans are uniquely suited to evolve and fight any battle. Doc Springer’s approach to aiding them in their fight comes from a place of humility, respect and love for this group. Thanks Doc Shauna for bringing this book into the world!

Timely and relatable

Speaking for myself, but I’m sure others, there are many who suffer in silence, afraid of stigma and trying to preserve careers. “Warrior” provides and context and real stories that I was able to relate to without a lot of unreadable medical jargon. A must for all combat vets.

Must read for clinicians!

I have been a first responder for 27 years and I am in grad school becoming a trauma therapist for first responders. This stands out as the best read specifically for military and first responder clinicians, individuals and families. Awesome job Doc!!

Exceptional Book

Every mental health provider working with Service Members, Veterans, and their families should read this book. Doc Springer has done a wonderful service for our warriors and communities, to draw on the strength of our tribes to get us through some of life’s greatest challenges. Phenomenal work Doc Springer. I believe I am a stronger clinician after reading your wonderfully insightful words of wisdom. Thank you.
