info_outline273: A 23 year career shifted overnight: How A Breakdown led to a Breakthrough w Nick Motycka
Description:
Today’s guest is Nick Motycka. Nick grew up in Alberta with a father who was a member of the RCMP.
Nick spent his entire adult life, 23 years, in various law enforcement-related positions: security, loss prevention, bylaw services, Canada Customs, Court and Prisoner Services, as a regular member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and finally as a member of the Calgary Police Service.
Nick spent time on the street with both agencies, in a Crime Reduction Unit, Drug Unit, Drug Undercover Street Team, Gang Suppression Team, and finally, a short stint in the Public and Media Relations Unit before his breakthrough, formally known as a breakdown, on September 16th, 2020.
Nick was then diagnosed with PTSD and set off on a journey to finally process the traumas collected during his career in law enforcement. A year and a half in, countless psychologist and occupational therapist appointments later, he was able to get the help that he needed finally: one psilocybin-assisted therapy session. With clear intentions and a strong willingness to do the work, Nick went from severe PTSD to no longer meeting the criteria for any diagnosis.
With a new sense of clarity and the amazing support of his family, Nick resigned from the only profession he had ever known. Nick now shares his story of healing and post-traumatic growth while going all in on his dream to bring consciously locally made, natural fiber clothing to the world through his apparel brand; Flow State Designs!
