💚 You Don’t Have to Go Through This Alone 💚

Struggling with your mental health can feel isolating, but you are not weak for feeling this way—and you don’t have to face it by yourself.

Talking to someone you trust can be a powerful first step toward feeling supported, understood, and less alone.

Whether it’s a friend, a family member, a colleague, or a mental health professional, opening up can help ease the weight you’re carrying. You don’t need to have the “right words” or all the answers—just starting the conversation matters.

If you’re finding things overwhelming right now, reaching out could make more difference than you realise.

Your feelings are valid, and help is available. 💬💚

TESTING THE ADDITIVE POWER OF COMBINATION THERAPY FOR PTSD. Does adding a stellate ganglion block to a leading, evidence-based talk-therapy for PTSD increase recovery rates? It did in a pilot study by our group.

Now the STRONG STAR Consortium at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio is conducting a large-scale clinical trial with active duty and retired military to further evaluate this promising combination therapy.

Yes please! They will be on their own one day, and they need to know how to survive and thrive in the world.

It’s our job as parents to provide as many opportunities for growth and learning as we possibly can. Expose them to a variety of interests and experiences. Allow them to have chores and situations where they have to use reasoning and critical thinking skills. Allow them opportunities for independence and independent thinking. I promise you will have a well-rounded, intelligent, and successful adult.
