How to Relieve Stress in One Minute: A Practical Tool for First Responders with Marie Matteson

Guest:
Marie Matteson, MS – Former Volunteer EMT, Medical Massage Therapist, Stress & Emotion Regulation Specialist, Author of One Minute Stress Release

Episode Description

Stress is baked into the job for first responders—but what if you had a simple, practical tool you could use in about a minute, right in the middle of real life?

In this episode, Conrad sits down with Marie Matteson, a longtime EMS volunteer turned stress specialist, who has dedicated her work to “helping the helpers.” Marie shares how her experience as an EMT, combined with her background in applied health studies and medical massage, led her to develop the One Minute Stress Release technique—something that has helped medics, officers, dispatchers, and even herself through overwhelming situations.

Marie tells powerful stories, including how she supported a police officer who suddenly couldn’t qualify with his weapon due to accumulated stress, and how she personally used this technique to survive the devastating back-to-back suicides of both her parents in 2001. She explains how stress layers in the nervous system, why peer supporters are at high risk for overload, and how a simple hand position and eye movement pattern can help separate the emotional charge from the memory.

If you’re a first responder, a peer supporter, or someone who carries the weight of others’ crises, this conversation gives you a tool you can start using immediately.
