Welcome to Drama Behind the Badge: A True Love Story
Drama Behind the Badge provides a spiritual framework for processing the aftermath of
trauma. Mr. Gridd brings his wealth of experience as a veteran, first responder, and
chaplain to his story and this guide. I imagine his story and this workbook as the
foundation for personal discovery and group discussion.

In this raw, unflinching memoir, Reggie Gridd takes you inside the life of a Navy veteran, law enforcement officer, husband, and father who's fought battles both seen and unseen.
From the weight of systemic injustice to the wars waged in his own mind, he shares the moments that broke him, the grace that held him, and the fight that never left.
This is not just a story about survival. It's a story about finding your voice when the world tries to silence you-and daring to be loud anyway.
Mr. Gridd has drawn from his personal experience of trauma across his
lifespan, including growing up exposed to community violence, losing a brother to
suicide, serving in the Navy, and his work as a sheriff, to create a faith-based approach
to trauma recovery. He has not shied away from sharing the challenges he has faced in
creating an approach accessible to others who have suffered traumatic experiences, including those in law enforcement and veterans.
As a psychologist with 25 years of experience in treating trauma, I am proud of the work
that has been done in the development of empirically-supported treatments for PTSD.
However, despite the many advances that I have witnessed over the course of my
career, there remains a need for more avenues to address trauma-recovery. While
traditional mental health approaches benefit many survivors, often spiritual aspects of
recovery are not fully addressed. Many trauma survivors struggle with spirituality and
faith.

God has been with you through a lot, and your faith keeps showing Him to all around you. You are living in joy, rather than bitterness.

I am in the middle of Chapter 3 of your book. It is a treasure of your life's experiences that many of us go through. Sometimes it just isn't peaches and cream like we all wish.
May the Lord always bless you.
