I realize that most of us could use support, particularly during times of overwhelming challenges within our personal and professional lives. Our lives are complex and come with significant obligations and expectations from our families, friends, and ourselves. If the challenges become overwhelming, we may start to doubt our abilities to manage our affairs and interactions with others. If stress, doubt, and dissatisfaction remain unaddressed, thoughts and feelings may evolve into an unhealthy view of ourselves and our environment, understanding we need help.

Do you find it hard to get out of bed in the morning, feel hopeless, or can't stop binging on food, TV, and alcohol? Are you having problems in your personal or professional relationships? Do you feel "stuck," unable to get ahead, afraid to set and achieve goals? Have you ever taken an honest look at your childhood, teen years, or any other time in your history to see what might be holding you back? Have you ever been heartbroken because of a major loss to death, divorce, or a lifetime of painful experiences like childhood traumas? Regardless of the cause, you know it doesn't feel good and you want joy and freedom in your life.

Returning to civilian life after service can bring with it echoes of intense and challenging experiences. You may find yourself facing vivid flashbacks, heightened alertness, or a sense of detachment from those around you. These feelings are not just symptoms; they're reflections of a profound journey
