Avoiding hard conversations isn’t peace - it’s distance. Silence builds walls. Unspoken resentment turns into cold wars. Talk through it. Love survives where communication flows, not where problems are buried alive.

Relationship Advice:

Let’s say you wanted someone to come over to your house, but instead of telling them how to get there, you told them all of the ways not to get there, “Don’t go down this street. Don’t turn here. Don’t go that direction.”

It would be so much easier to simply tell them how to get there. In other words, focusing on what is not working ultimately distracts us from what we are really asking for.

Instead of, "You used to show me affection and now you never do," try this instead, "It's really important to me that we spend more time together and show affection. Do you think we can work on that?"

Pet Peeve. I dislike when people post this. Yes, you are responsible for learning to regulate your emotions, manage your PTSD and for how you treat others, but as your friend, relative, acquaintance, therapist, I will be considerate of your emotions, feelings, symptoms because it is the right thing to do. It is not an obligation. It is me caring about you. I wish others realized this.

The pressure for young athletes to focus on a single sport from an early age has become increasingly common in today's competitive landscape. However, the risks may outweigh any reward, says Travis Frantz, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon at Texas Health Orthopedic Specialists, a Texas Health Physicians Group practice in Bedford. We spoke with Frantz to shed some light on the realities of early sports specialization (ESS) and its impact on young athletes' physical and mental health.

“Numerous studies have shown that early sport specialization slows overall motor development, increases the risk of injuries both in the short and long term, and creates higher rates of burnout and mental health consequences,” says Frantz.
