When meeting with a doctor, provider, therapist...anyone who's delivering important news...has their delivery of communication caused stress? Did the initial understanding of the information cause a reaction distress?

Change, growth, awareness...YEAH!


Throughout PTS and mental health recovery....or any kind of recovery...some people make comments like, "Let it go!" How do we do that? What is it like when we notice that we've changed? Something is different aaaaannnnd....we're NOT reacting! Omgish! No reaction? Then that pause....the pause of awareness.


Give a listen to this PTSD and Beyond episode where Dr. Deb experiences this awareness and decided to Grab the Mic!
