Through Thin Line Advisory she provides specialized consultation and is a confidential ally and strategic advisor for public safety leaders on high-stakes topics that are critical to successful recruitment and retention. A Harvard graduate who has become a trusted Doc to our nation’s military warfighters and first responders, she navigates diverse cultures with exceptional agility. Doc Springer is frequently sourced by the media for her uniquely perceptive insights on trauma recovery, post-traumatic growth, psychological health, and interpersonal relationships, developed from two decades of work at the extremes. Her work has been featured in multiple media outlets, including Police1, Police Chief Magazine, VICE, NPR, NBC, CNN, CBS Radio, Forbes, Business Insider, Military Times, Military.com, Gun Talk Radio, Coffee or Die Magazine, US News and World Report, and Psychology Today. In her book, WARRIOR: How to Support Those Who Protect Us, Doc Springer takes us into the heart of trauma – how it impacts us, and how we can heal. Her insights, gleaned from working with countless warriors who have overcome extreme traumas, are both critical and timely as we emerge from years of societal trauma. WARRIOR has been the focus of collective readings by veteran groups and by thousands of therapists who support service members, veterans and first responders. In her latest book, RELENTLESS COURAGE: Winning the Battle Against Frontline Trauma, along with Sergeant (Ret) Michael Sugrue, she tackles the complexity of trauma with the law enforcement community, uncovers the unspoken barriers, and outlines a path to healing. RELENTLESS COURAGE has been described by Lt. Col.
