Most of us struggle to ask for help. We struggle to be honest, both with ourselves and with others, about how we feel and what we need. And it leads us to feel more isolated, overwhelmed and alone.
What if instead of telling ourselves (and others) that we’re doing just fine, holding it together, that we can manage on our own, what if we simply asked for help? What if we were honest about our struggles?
Unfortunately that’s easier said than done.
This week on the podcast, I sit down with military spouse and therapist Anna Luiken to talk about mental health, vulnerability and why we struggle to be honest about our challenges and ask for help as military spouses.
We talk about the lies we believe, the expectations we have for ourselves and others, and what we can do to truly be seen known, and understood. We unpack why this matters every day, but especially during difficult seasons of life, such as a deployment or PCS. Make sure you grab a pen and paper and take some notes!
Better Together,
Christine
