Mental health issues are both common and complicated. They result from a combination of biological, psychological, social, and societal factors. We may not be able to see it readily, but many of us are struggling. We may be dealing with mental illness or simply feeling pain from difficult life situations. This is a challenging time for our nation and the world, and we are experiencing a common sense of anxiety, sadness, grief, and loss that can test our ability to cope.

Before anything else, we're human. We all carry our stories with us every day; some we are familiar with & some we are not. Trauma can come in various forms & the lingering effects of that can shape who we are in the present. Whether the trauma be big or small, it is worthwhile to gain understanding on how our experiences impact us. Trying to deal with things alone can be difficult & isolating, but entering the space of healing through connection can make all of the difference. Anxiety, mood changes & life events can collide with underlying stories which make it difficult to sort out on our own.
