Men and Trauma: Why Silence Isn’t Strength
So many men carry emotional wounds they were never taught how to talk about. Trauma in men often looks like anger, withdrawal, or “just pushing through”—but it’s still pain.
In my newest blog, I unpack how trauma shows up in men, why it’s often missed, and how therapy can help—even when words are hard to find.

🌟 Happy New Month from Mental Health Talk Antigua! 🌟

A fresh month is a beautiful reminder that we can begin again—with intention, clarity, and care. As we step into June, we encourage you to prioritize your *mental wellness* and show up for yourself daily.

Here are 5 simple *Wellness Tips* to carry you through the month:

🧘🏽‍♀️ 1. Start Your Mornings Mindfully
Take 5–10 minutes to breathe deeply, stretch, or sit in silence before diving into the day.

📵 2. Set Boundaries with Social Media
Create screen-free moments to reconnect with real life—your peace matters.

💧 3. Stay Hydrated & Nourished
A healthy body fuels a healthy mind. Drink water, eat balanced meals, and listen to your body.

💤 4. Prioritize Rest
Rest is not a reward—it’s a necessity. Protect your sleep and give yourself permission to slow down.

💚 5. Check In with Yourself
Journal your thoughts or simply ask, *“How am I really feeling today?”* Your emotions are valid.

Let’s make this month one of growth, grace, and intentional self-care. You deserve it. 💫
