Going "no contact" with anyone isn't an easy decision. The decision gets more complex and difficult the deeper the relationship.
Stigma surrounding going no contact with family members especially parents is one that the person making the decision faces.
How will people understand? What do you say? Is going "no contact" really the last resort? How does going "no contact" help with the healing and recovery? Do you ever get to a place where life is comfortable?
I went "no contact" with my biological mother 8 years ago. This year, I celebrate going "no contact" and this is my story that I share with you.

Dr. Galen Buckwalter
Approaching a 2 year mark since the World Health Organization declared Coronavirus/COVID-19 a public health emergency, people around the world continue to feel the effects of the pandemic. One effect is the increased concern about money and finances. Financial stress is a major problem and causing people to experience PTSD-like symptoms ranging from fear, hypervigilance around money, anxiety, avoidance of financial tasks, nightmares, and physical and mental ailments.
This week's PTSD and Beyond podcast guest is world-renowned psychological research scientist, academician, former Chief Science Officer at eHarmony and Payoff, and President of PsyML, a financial consulting company is Dr. Galen Buckwalter. For over 25 years, Dr. Buckwalter's research studies on PTSD at the University of Southern California along with financial research showed 23 percent of adults and 36 percent of millennials experience financial stress at levels that qualify as a diagnosis of PTSD.
"We need to help take the edge-off and help people learn about emotional patterns linked to money and finances...to have a better control of emotional responses. It's all about the person," says Dr. Buckwalter.
