Who are you now?
How much of our lives do we spend trying to fit in?
Albert Einstein said, “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live it’s whole life believing that it is stupid.”
When people are affected by Post Traumatic Stress, they often fall into the trap of comparing their current self with their former self.
If you believe you are supposed to be that old version of yourself, you likely also hold the belief that you are broken. You may simply be different.
Is it possible that maybe you’re now a fish that’s just not meant to be climbing a tree?
It may be helpful to ask the following questions:
Who am I now, and what is most important to me?
What strengths do I currently possess that my younger self did not have?
What insights and understanding do I bring to the table now that I did not have before?
We invite you to explore these questions in our fall programs:
Identity and Transition examines who you are beyond the Uniform.
Navigating the Culture Divide is about making a smooth transition from military first responder roles to civilian life.
For those who have previously taken a program with us, stay healthy this summer with our Maintaining Health Program July 14 and August 18, offered in-person for the summer months. Drop us a line or give us a call now to guarantee a seat.
Warm regards,
