The Family NDA

Some families have an informal NDA, or Non Disclosure Agreement. It’s understandable. Something bad happens to someone, or a branch of the family, and the timing is not right. Not the right time to deal with it. Full job, young children, already very strained relations, and the family makes an unspoken pact: I don’t want to talk about it’ is upheld, from the person, or, in front of parts of the family.

Body and Mind.

The connection with mental health, what you put into your mouth, what you do with your body, and physical diseases and limitations and pain- all are connected. It really is low hanging fruit, to care for the things you can. Some condition and diseases can look like mental health issues. Most Mental Health Clinicians are ready to blame Depression or anxiety first, then some find out it was physical, and the condition was trying to tell them something. I have had clients with low Thyroid, get it addressed, then call me a bit later, after their meds for thyroid are working and say:”I don’t need you anymore Brian. Bye. (a happy day for both of us. I love it when clients get better)
