Continuing The Conversation
May 12, 2022
Hello Reader,
This week I wanted to take a moment to continue the conversation.
Wait! What conversation? What did I miss?
If you are scratching your head in wonder, you can rest knowing you did not miss anything. I want to continue the conversation around mental health. As you might be aware, May is Mental Health Month.
Just over 17 years ago, I knew very little about mental health. I was prone to limit my thinking about mental health to mental illness. I primarily saw mental illness as something which affects others. I did not know what I did not know.
I had no idea what a pivotal role mental health would play in the years to come. Today, mental health is a part of every new day for me.
Embracing My New Role
Today, I gladly embrace my role as a Mental Health Advocate.
Just as the conversation surrounding mental health must continue, we must continue to prioritize mental health. Take a walk, talk to a trusted friend, or seek out the help of a professional. Take steps to prioritize your mental health today!
I am here as a resource for each of you. Consider me your Mental Health Advocate. 😉
If you need some help, a connection, or a safe place to air what is on your mind, please reach out to me!
As always I appreciate your ongoing support.
-Craig

Hello Reader, Have you ever been in a place where you couldn't face something? I ✋🏻 surely have! Just this past week, I woke up like I usually do on a Tuesday. For some reason, a question came to mind. I do not recall why I started thinking about this question or how it came up, but it was there. A few minutes later, I began making a note on my phone. I knew this question might get lost in my morning routine, and I didn't want it to slip through my mind. After making a note of the question,...
Hello Reader, There's an old saying that says, "Time heals all wounds." While time certainly plays a crucial role in our journey, it will not heal all wounds. We cannot experience a traumatic event, circumstances, or surroundings and sweep it under the rug, hoping for it to disappear. Returning to those feelings, we often find emotions as fresh and raw as the day we left them. In last week's exercise, community members created a timeline detailing the events and circumstances that helped...
Hello Reader, I remember walking into my first session with a new psychologist. I was utterly overwhelmed with the reality of my condition. The weight of trying to white-knuckle my way through life had taken its toll. Things were not right in my world, and I had no idea where to begin. In the following visits, we would talk a lot about my past, my life growing up, and all of the stereotypical things a psychologist should talk about. What didn’t come up was how I was feeling at that moment. I...
