THE MISSION BEHIND THIS BOOK

Because you’re not looking for soft advice. You want hacks that work in the mess of a real shift and real life. Authored by someone who’s been there, Responder Reset offers:

Real-world rewires for your nervous system, so you don’t drag work home.

• Tactical clarity to sharpen your mind and reboot your focus.

• A blueprint to rebuild the human under the uniform so you show up both at work and at home.

This isn’t a workbook.

It’s not a self-help experiment.

It’s a field manual, designed for real-time use under real-life pressure.

You won’t find long reflection prompts or theory in here. You’ll find what works, when it counts.

This book was built for when you’re on edge, but still holding the line. When you’re showing up, but something underneath feels off. When your system is jammed, your patience is gone, and you don’t have time for fluff.

WHAT YOU'LL GET INSIDE

Micro-Processing:

Fast, body-based resets that support your nervous system in real time, helping you offload tension before it builds into burnout.

Accountability in Action:

Straightforward insight that helps you recognize where your default reactions and coping habits are actually feeding your burnout, and what to do instead..

Out-of-the-Box Practices:

Practical, science-backed methods you’ve probably never been taught in the job, tactical ways to regulate, refocus, and reset that actually work.

Human Performance:

Tools that reinforce working with your biology, not against it, proving that strength doesn’t mean suppressing what makes you human.

Applied Recovery:

This isn’t about knowing what to do, it’s about doing it. Every page calls you to do something different so you can show up clearer, calmer, and more in control. In real life, not just on paper.

Keep it in your glovebox, duty bag, or locker.

ENDORSEMENTS

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING

"AK’s story-telling and incorporation of the “why” first responders burnout is nothing short of masterful. She addresses the whole person and gives practical strategies for how to care for the mind, body, and spirit. I strongly encourage all first responders to work through this book thoughtfully, whether you are just starting your career or are already crusty from your time on the job.” 

Medina Baumgart, PsyD, ABPP

Police and Public Safety Psychologist and Author of Surviving Retirement Finding Purpose and Fulfillment Beyond the Badge

"This book, researched and written by an award winning first responder for all first responders, is a must read for anyone engaged in the professions of law enforcement, firefighting, and/or emergency medical response. It offers content that is outstanding in every way to deal with the stresses of public safety services, how to recognize and manage that stress, and how to stay mentally and physically healthy to better perform your duties and live a better life!"

Chief (Ret.) Frank E. Jones

M.A.Professor of Criminal Justice / New England College

"Having the opportunity to read "Beat the Burnout" by my friend, hero, and sister in blue, AK Dozanti, was truly a turning point for me.

As a veteran officer, a trainer, and a human being, I couldn't help but to see myself in every chapter. Reading certain pages, I laughed. Because I read it in Amanda's voice and I have always admired her authenticity and humor. With other pages, my eyes welled up with tears. I read words, explanations, and feelings that I have experienced over and over again throughout my career. I know this. I know trauma, I teach about trauma. But not like this. Amanda did a phenomenal job breaking down complex topics such as PTSD, workplace burnout, compartmentalizing, impacts of cortisol, and how caffeine affects our mind and body. I didn't feel like I was reading a book, I felt that I was a part of her journey and her story. This book is a must read for every officer, cadet, and those who love us and support us. It is a must read for every leader in our noble profession and every trainer. While reading the book, I thought about one thing over and over again. I thought "what we go through is a part of who we become. So much of the pain that we sit with does not have to be present. If it is predictable it's preventable. And the key to prevention is education and awareness."

The book was enlightening, captivating, and it was hard to put down. My hope is for my brothers and sisters in blue to read this book, self evaluate, and commit to beating the burnout. "

"AK’s work here is real, authentic, and immediately applicable as a guide to care for yourself in a profession where self-care is rarely mentioned. We annually lose more to our own hand than in the line of duty we must pay attention to our emotional health if we want to stop that devastating loss of life. I have been in emergency services for 33years and have battled, researched and written about first responder behavioral health for decades and I feel this book is THE game changer for emergency services as well as a LIFE SAVER for first responders. Please place a copy of this out in the open at your police station, fire or EMS hall. AK’s book will save lives, prevent suffering and should be read by all first responders."

Melissa Riley, PHD

Police, Fire/EMS

"As a 36 veteran of law enforcement and someone who works with First Responders still today, AK Dozanti’s work, Beat the Burnout: Prevention and Recovery Tactics for Frontline Professionals is a great resource for taking care of yourself and your family. 

As a former First Responder, she comes with a level of understanding that resonates with police, fire, EMS, dispatch and others in the First Responder community."

TESTIMONALS

REal CLIENTS, real results

RESPONDER RESET is for you if...

You’re still showing up because you feel called, but you’re done sacrificing yourself.

You believe in being better at what you do, and you want that excellence without the burnout wreckage.

You know something needs to shift. Not tomorrow. Now.

You’re not broken beyond help, but you’re on the edge of something breaking.

You don't need to be convinced. You are stepping up.

"Responder Reset by AK Dozanti is a powerful, practical, and field-ready guide that belongs in every first responder's gear bag.

What impressed me most is how this book avoids theory and fluff - it delivers clear, tactical resets that can be applied in the middle of chaos, on the tail end of a tough call, or even at home when the weight of the job lingers.

As someone who has worked alongside law enforcement and public safety professionals, I can attest that the author's approach honors the reality of frontline life while offering tools that are both grounding and immediately effective. Dozanti's words don't just remind responders of their strength; they provide the reset button we all wish we had in our hardest moments.

This is not just a book - it's backup you can hold in your hands."
