NO-BULLSHIT MENTAL HEALTH TOOLS
FOR THOSE WHO SERVE
What if it didn’t have to be this hard?
What if you and your spouse went back to spending time together - good time, the kind where you laugh and actually enjoy each other?
What if you could manage your anger? Enjoy your time off? Spend time with your friends/family and actually feel connected to them?
What if the real threat isn’t the trauma, it’s the inertia?
inertia (n): a tendency to do nothing or to remain unchanged.
You know you aren’t doing great. You know you should do something about it. And yet, you don’t.
We get it. You’re low on time and money, you don’t really want to talk to a stranger, and you might even struggle to describe what exactly is bothering you.
All of that is understandable, but it’s not an excuse.

I know what it’s like to feel like a shell. Like a shadow of my former self.
I had once been capable, motivated, and fun - but I slowly became foggy and impatient. The way I was serving seemed honorable and important, but why did it also feel like it was changing me?
In the midst of it all, I also struggled to find any mental health support that truly understood the strain of the service and could help. So once I was out of the pit, I went back to grad school, learned everything I could about the stress of guardian work, and turned Stack of Stones into the resource that I wish I had.
Mental health services can be daunting. Who can you trust? Where do you start? How does therapy actually work - and will there be crying and hugging? I get it, and my mission is to make it easier. So we’ve taken thousands of hours of clinical work and research and turned it into a collection of resources that are straightforward and tailored to the specific needs of someone that does your job.
Thank you for the work you do, and please take good care of yourself.
