Everyone loves an origin story. How did your favorite superhero become who they are today? How did Oprah become Oprah? This episode and a few of the episodes this season look at the road to where we are now. In this episode, Tara shares how her life experiences brought her to where she is now, running a nonprofit to help caregivers debrief.
Tara Ryan Kosmas, MSN, RN, CHSE, SOAR is a burn survivor, registered nurse, educator, and founder of 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, Debriefing the Front Lines, Inc. The organizational mission is to deliver psychological first aid and sustained emotional wellness through commUNITY investment, shared values, and collective action as we continue to define what it means to be a modern nurse working in a global pandemic and humanitarian crisis.
Tara is certified in the art of debriefing and has devoted her life to creating a psychologically safe space for nurses to discuss and debrief traumatic events, end of life, and difficult conversations in a psychologically safe space. Tara’s teachings are rooted in the theoretical frameworks of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Debriefing for Good Judgement, and Self Exploration.
Throughout her own healing journey, Tara has looked to flowers for comfort. She understands the healing power they possess and has combined this passion with her non-profit work. Also, a floral designer, Tara is the owner of Kosmic Garden, a Baltimore-based pop-up floral shop spreading abundance through nature’s own medium and sharing light with the world as she works to Heal the Healers.
