    What happens when a former space shuttle engineer turns his attention to human healing? In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, Dr. Deb sits down with Mark Fox, aerospace innovator and founder of Resona Health, to explore the intersection of engineering, nervous system support, and emerging frequency-based technologies.

    Healing is My Responsibility. And So Is My Life.

    There are moments in healing where something shifts. Not all at once. Not loudly. But clearly. A realization begins to take shape: 👉 Something wasn’t just hard. 👉 Something was taken. In this episode, we explore what happens when awareness deepens and truth becomes clearer. This is a conversation about recognizing impact without minimizing it, allowing anger to exist without losing grounding, and reconnecting with the power of choice. This isn’t about blame. And it’s not about staying in the past. It’s about understanding what was real… and choosing what comes next. 💬 What We Explore The difference between what was lost and what was taken Calm, grounded anger as a form of clarity Why healing is a responsibility rooted in agency, not fault How anger can be directed into boundaries and intentional decisions The challenge of receiving after experiencing trauma Holding dual awareness: truth and forward movement at the same time A perspective from Greek philosophy on living in alignment with your highest self Research-informed insights on emotion, growth, and self-compassion ✨ Reflection Questions What is one truth ready to be acknowledged without minimizing it? Where can energy be redirected instead of continuing to carry what isn’t yours? What is one way to allow support or ease without needing to earn it? If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available. In the U.S., you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. It is available 24/7 and free and confidential.

    I Go Where I Feel Myself

    In this PTSD and Beyond episode, we explore what it means to notice where we feel grounded, connected, and at ease, and how those moments are not random, but meaningful signals. Through the lens of self care, awareness, and healing, this conversation reflects on the environments, relationships, and spaces that either support or disconnect us from who we are. We also explore the meaning behind “I go where I feel like myself” and the “Cheers effect,” that sense of being in spaces where we can exhale and simply be, and why certain places feel like home. Self-care is not only what we do. It is also where we go, what we allow, and what we choose. 👉 Go where you feel like yourself. We reflect on the role of awareness in returning to yourself, the importance of choosing spaces that feel calm, supportive, and aligned, and why healing is a process of returning to yourself again and again.

    When “No” Becomes the Wall: Boundaries, Protection, and the Path Back to Connection

    We hear a lot about saying “no” as self-care. And that matters. But what happens when everything becomes no? In this episode, we explore when boundaries shift from intentional protection to automatic response. What starts as safety can become disconnection. This conversation brings a trauma-informed and neuroscience-based lens to understanding “no,” and how to move toward discernment, flexibility, and connection. Key Takeaways: 1. Boundaries support connection, not replace it 2. Automatic “no” can be a protective pattern, not a conscious choice 3. The brain predicts safety based on past experiences 4. Psychological flexibility supports wellbeing and growth 5. Connection is essential to overall health Reflection Questions:  Where has “no” become automatic? Is this response coming from fear or alignment? What would it look like to pause before responding? If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available.

    In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, we welcome Christopher J. Allen, a military leader and veteran advocate dedicated to supporting service members, veterans, and their families. This conversation centers on leadership in its most human form. Beyond titles, rank, or position, leadership is about presence, connection, and the willingness to check-in. Christopher shares insights from his experience in service, highlighting the importance of everyday moments that build trust, strengthen connection, and create meaningful impact. We explore how small actions, like a conversation or a simple check-in, can serve as powerful protective factors in supporting mental health and preventing crisis. This episode is a reminder that leadership and care often show up in the smallest moments. What We Discuss - • Leadership through presence, connection, and care • The role of everyday conversations in supporting mental health • Suicide prevention as a shared responsibility • The importance of checking in with others and with ourselves • The human side of service and leadership • Building connection as a protective factor Key Takeaways: • Leadership is expressed through presence and genuine connection • Small moments can have a meaningful impact • Checking in is a simple but powerful act of care • Mental health support begins with connection and awareness 💖 If This Episode Resonated Listen, subscribe, and share PTSD and Beyond® with someone who might need this message today.

    Regret, Rejection, and Resilience

    Anxiety often shows up when we are standing in front of a decision or when a lived experience feels like it might repeat itself. In these moments, the mind begins scanning for threat, danger, and risk. What if this doesn't work out? What if it happens again? What if I fail? Fear of rejection can become very loud and can create hesitation, avoidance, and sometimes complete inaction. In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, Dr. Deb explores the connection between regret, rejection, and resilience and how anxiety can influence the way we approach decisions in our lives. Drawing on mindfulness practices and neuroscience, this conversation explores how the brain processes perceived threat and how reflective awareness can help interrupt anxiety loops. When we shift the question we are asking ourselves, we may discover a new way to move forward with clarity and courage. Resilience is not the absence of anxiety. Resilience is the ability to move forward even when uncertainty and fear are present. When action is taken with awareness, anxiety may still exist, but it no longer holds the same power.
