Five Seasons Therapy

Evidence-based approaches that can help reduce chronic stonewalling include:

* Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
* Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
* The Gottman Method
* Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
* Trauma-focused treatments when relevant
* Attachment-based interventions

If stonewalling is chronic, leads to significant relationship distress, or occurs alongside emotional abuse, working with a couples therapist can be very beneficial.

June is Men’s Mental Health Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about the mental health challenges that men and boys face. It encourages open conversations about mental health, reduces stigma around seeking help, and promotes access to support and treatment.

Men are often less likely to seek mental health care due to social pressures, yet they experience significant rates of depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, and su***de. Men’s Mental Health Month serves as a reminder that mental health is just as important as physical health and that seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness. 💙

Memorial Day is a day in the United States dedicated to honoring and remembering the military service members who died while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. It is observed on the last Monday of May and is often marked by ceremonies, visiting cemeteries and memorials, displaying the American flag, and taking time to reflect on the sacrifices made for the country. While many people also see it as the unofficial start of summer, the holiday’s deeper meaning is about remembrance, gratitude, and honoring those who gave their lives in service.
