Some more food for thought for those out there that are interested in mental resiliency training. Angela has guest authored before and it is always a treat to hear what she has to say. Feel free to make a comment here, or contact Angela direct at her Military Healing Center website.
One thing that I keep thinking about with her articles is that it would be interesting to get her in the same room as Dave Grossman and have them chat about the subject of mental resiliency. His website called Killology, as well as his books, are a fascinating study on the mind of warriors.-Matt

It is clear that knowing how to use a gun is not sufficient to surviving volatile situations. Mental and emotional preparedness training is critical to wellbeing and long term career potential.
