IN THIS EPISODE
"I know EXACTLY how you feel ..." 

Raise your hand if a friend or family member who has never experienced deployment has ever said this to you. What did you say? How did it make you feel?

As a licensed professional counselor in private practice, E.J. Smith, LPC specializes in trauma, LGBTQ+ issues, and military family stressors.

In this episode, E.J. is going to teach us how we can connect with others, accept support, and construct responses that set appropriate boundaries while honoring those relationships.
