In this edition, we explore the many ways connection and understanding can shape our well-being. From the value of support groups and professional learning to the importance of affordable care through sliding scale consultations, accessibility remains at the forefront. You’ll also discover why certain sounds, like chewing, can spark intense reactions, and gain insight into how panic and anxiety can feel as overwhelming as facing a giant praying mantis. Finally, we highlight the journey from the Ahi Brotherhood to attachment-based mentoring, reminding us of the lasting impact of relationships and guidance.
