, Praise for Confessions of a Trauma Junkie
“A must read for those who choose to subject themselves to life at its
best and at its worst. Sherry offers insight in the Emergency Response
business that most people cannot imagine. This book details life through
the eyes of a caring individual who is a devoted CISM practitioner and
true professional, who continually accepts the crisis presented, employs
best practices, focuses on the mission, and makes the trauma, pain and
suffering a little easier to manage.”
—Maj Gen Richard L. Bowling,
former Commanding General, USAF Auxiliary (CAP)

“We are not alone. Sherry Mayo shares experiences and unique
personal insights of first responders. Told with poetry, sensitivity and a
touch of humor at times, all are real, providing views into realities EMTs,
Nurses, and other first responders encounter. Emotions shared bind this
fraternity/sorority together in understanding, service and goals.
Recommended reading for anyone working with trauma, crises, critical
incidents in any profession. It’s heartening to know we share such
common experiences and support from our peers.”
—George W. Doherty, MS, LPC, President
Rocky Mountain Region Disaster Mental Health Institute

“In this book, Sherry has captured the essence of working with
people who have witnessed trauma. It made me cry, it made me laugh, it
helped me to understand differently the work of our Emergency Services
Personnel. I consider this a ‘MUST READ’ for all of us who wish to be
helpful to those who work in these professions.”
— Dennis Potter, LMSW, CAAC, FAAETS, ICISF Instructor

“Sherry has encapsulated the first responder human lifestyle and
given it soul. Makes you appreciate those who serve others in what
happens in the streets of America every day. Sherry gracefully exposes
