I find myself referring people to these resources over and over, so I thought it would be easier to just gather them all in one place. Hope you find it helpful!

For Supporters of Someone Working on their Mental Health

I often recommend these articles for clients to share with their loved ones. It may be hard for them to ask for support or explain what they need for support. These articles get the conversation started.

  • Grounding to Relieve Anxiety

    Often when someone is in a moment of anxiety, it’s hard to think of what to do. You can be a great resource in helping your loved one by asking them questions that orient them to their five senses.

  • So What is EMDR Therapy? 

    I use EMDR often, and you may be wondering what it’s all about. Hopefully this helps shed some light on the process.

    I gave a talk to some military spouses about how they can be good supports to their spouses in leadership positions. I wrote the first two parts of this series by adapting that talk into a couple of blog posts. The second two parts of this series were born from empathizing with the loved ones of my clients. I know it’s hard to “get” what goes on in therapy, and especially at the beginning, my clients don’t always know what they need for support, or how to ask for it. I found myself thinking of all the things I wished I could tell those loved ones who are trying to patiently provide support at home. Your cooperation and support makes my job easier! And more importantly, it helps your loved one heal faster.

I find these topics very often (but not always) go together.

Topics Usually Relevant to Military Spouses

Some of these articles were originally part of my speaking engagements with military spouses. Some of them are just thinking of the questions and concerns military spouses may have when they are transitioning in and out of new duty stations.
