About this episode
In this interview, I sit down with Joe Smarro former police officer turned mental health advocate, to talk about his powerful journey of trauma, healing, and growth. Joe opens up about how vulnerability became his strength, why empathy in crisis situations is life-saving, and how his own experiences shaped his mission. We dive deep into his use of ketamine therapy for trauma recovery, the creation of the CCRTC de-escalation model (curiosity, connection, rapport, trust, compliance), and why self-awareness and unconditional love are key to mental health. Joe also shares how parenting reveals unresolved trauma and how his company, Solution Point Plus, is teaching these skills across industries. If you’re interested in mental health, trauma recovery, de-escalation techniques, or personal growth, this conversation with Joe Smarro will challenge you to rethink what true strength really means.
