I want to take a moment to thank all of you who've been responding to our twice monthly newsletters! I appreciate the e-mails that let me know you are reading, enjoying, and even feeling inspired by the content. In this day and age, so much of our communication happens on-line, and although that affords us immediate access to knowledge and information, it takes away the give and take dynamic and energy that comes from live, face-to-face conversation. Sometimes, it feels like our ideas and emotions are being sent out into a "void," so it's nice to know that there are folks out there who are listening and benefiting from this form of discourse. 

Since you will receive this newsletter right after Memorial Day, it seems fitting to focus, once again, on acknowledging and honoring our service men and women who agree, everyday, to risk their lives in the name of keeping us and our country protected and safe. In this issue we will explore the clinical contribution that vets are making through their willingness to participate in studies that offer right-brain based approaches to treating trauma and PTSD.
