Just wanted to share a great resource for anyone needing it.

I (Sissy Goff) spent six of my most formative summers on the Guadalupe River at a girls’ camp just down the road from Camp Mystic, laughing and learning and having cokes and candy at the Hunt Store at the end of camp. Like you, I’ve been heartbroken for the Mystic families, and the entire Hill Country community. The impact has rippled through us all. And, there are parents who are having to and will continue to have hard conversations with their kids. Parents who are helplessly watching their girls (and boys) grieve. Sitting with siblings to talk about the unspeakable and unimaginable. Mystic families, every single one of us would do anything we can to help. And here’s what I would be so honored to do, after several of you have asked for resources for your schools and churches and friends:

At 10am and 4:30 pm tomorrow, I’m going to host two zooms for any parents/grandparents/family members/friends impacted by the flooding. I’ll spend 20-30 minutes talking about how we can talk with our kids and help them process their grief. As families and as communities. And then, I’ll give you an opportunity to ask questions. You can join either time…or both, if you’d like. The sign up is at the link in my bio. It’s a free seminar. All are welcome. In the meantime, just know that we’re standing alongside you. Praying. Grieving. And still hoping.

Today, we honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice allows us to enjoy the freedoms we have and we are deeply grateful.

We also want to give special recognition to the family members and loved ones of veterans and active-duty service members in our community. We recognize your sacrifice of support.

If today floods you with grief or anxiety due to a recently deployed family member we see your struggle and would like to partner with you as you process that. Even if today finds you in a place of mourning, we see your struggle too. You’re not alone and we’d like to offer our support through counseling.

Happy Memorial Day!

Anxiety is felt by many people who are unaware of the bodily response connected to it. Often times people have anxiety but have learned to suppress or even gaslight themselves into believing that this anxious feeling is a regular part of life. Here’s a scale to identify one’s level of anxiousness based on thoughts and body response. We have also attached a helpful way to regulate and cope with anxiety using the STOP method. Feeling anxiousness doesn’t have to be a regular way of life. Feel free to comment, DM or contact us to begin a healing journey to learn coping skills and encouraging ways to regulate emotions.
