"I used to be quiet about a lot of stuff, not talking at all. But as I got more comfortable with my 5-Key counselor, I started to talk. I learned that I had to talk to somebody. I had to get an opinion and options from other people. Then, think about those opinions and options and make the best decision. I used to be ‘all or nothing’ and now I know that all-or-nothing thinking isn’t good for me, for police, for anyone. And now I know all this so just every situation there has to be another option, you gotta weigh all the options."
