The Climb Protocol

A path out of the wreckage. A way back to yourself.

The Climb Protocol is a trauma recovery process built for warriors — those who’ve seen too much, held it together too long, and are ready to heal without losing their edge.

Developed at Challenger Point Practice, this isn’t meditation with a scented candle. It’s tactical resilience training for the nervous system — rooted in real-life trauma, grounded in neuroscience, and forged through lived experience.

Whether you're coming from the battlefield, the fireground, the patrol car, or your own personal war zone, the Climb Protocol will help you reset your body, reclaim your mind, and re-enter life fully aware.

This is the mountain. And you don’t have to climb it alone.

🧭 Climb Protocol

A Full-Day Resilience Reset for First Responders, Veterans & Trauma-Exposed Teams

🚨 Still Not Sleeping? Can’t Shut Off? Carrying Too Much?

You’re not alone. The real cost of the job shows up off duty:

  • Insomnia that won't quit

  • Anxiety that never really drops

  • Emotional numbing

  • Short fuses, long silences

  • Quiet thoughts of quitting… or worse

 

We don’t wait for rock bottom. We train before the fall.
The Climb Protocol is a one-day, trauma-informed resilience activation program designed for those who’ve seen too much, lost too many, and are still showing up.

⛰️ This Isn’t a Lecture. It’s a Climb.

The Climb Protocol combines:

✅ Movement-Based Nervous System Recovery
✅ Mind-Body Alignment Drills
✅ Tactical Breathing & Flow-State Activation
✅ Trauma Education Without the Jargon
✅ Emotional Regulation Tools You Can Use in the Field
✅ Mental Re-entry Strategies After Exposure
✅ Guided Visualization, Grounding, and Recovery Practice

💡 What Participants Say:

🎬 Resilience Film: Your Story, Told With Purpose

Not a commercial. Not a highlight reel. A story that matters.

Every agency, department, and mission-driven team carries stories that shape who they are — moments of tragedy, triumph, and everything in between.

The Resilience Film is a 5–7 minute cinematic short, produced on location, that captures your story with honesty, grit, and heart. It’s designed for trauma-impacted teams who want to honor their past, celebrate their growth, and inspire the next generation. Film is the most powerful way to communicate, only second to first hand encounters. 

 

What It Is:

A professionally written, directed, and produced film built in collaboration with your personnel — not actors. It’s created to showcase:

  • The adversities you’ve faced (crisis, trauma, loss, burnout, tragedy)

  • The resilience you’ve demonstrated (rebuilding, healing, transformation)

  • The values and mission that guide your team forward

  • The strategies that are working — wellness efforts, recovery approaches, and leadership courage

  • A legacy message: to recruits, to your community, to those still in the fight

Who It’s For:

  • Police & fire departments

  • EMS & dispatch teams

  • Military units

  • Anti-human trafficking task forces

  • Faith-based crisis response & ministry teams

  • Government contractors and special mission groups

  • Any team facing high-stakes, high-impact adversity

Why It Matters:

  • Create a film that educates, honors, and inspires

  • Use it for internal training, public awareness, recruitment, or leadership development

  • Share the message with your community and future recruits

  • Build pride in purpose and preserve a culture of resilience

  • Enter a national and global conversation by joining the Undercover Dumpster Fire platform and community

Optional: Global Spotlight

If your agency is ready to share more broadly, we’ll feature your story through the Undercover Dumpster Fire podcast, sharing your mission and message with a national audience of like-minded professionals, leaders, and trauma survivors.

You won’t just have a film. You’ll have a movement to stand with.​​​​​
