I just watched Steven Spielberg’s latest film, Disclosure Day. While it’s presented as a story about extraterrestrial disclosure, what struck me most was that it isn’t really about aliens at all.

It’s about what happens when we are confronted with a truth that challenges everything we thought we knew.

Whether it’s a life transition, a painful realization, a relationship ending, a health diagnosis, a spiritual awakening, or simply seeing ourselves more clearly, growth often begins when our certainty falls apart.

The film suggests that our greatest fear may not be the unknown itself, but the collapse of the stories we’ve built our identities around.

Psychologically, this mirrors what we see in therapy every day. Healing often requires us to face parts of ourselves we’ve avoided, denied, or pushed into the shadows. What Carl Jung called “the Shadow” isn’t something outside of us—it’s the aspects of ourselves we have yet to integrate.

Spiritually, the message feels equally powerful: Can we meet mystery with curiosity rather than fear? Can we remain open when life refuses to fit neatly into our existing beliefs?

Perhaps the greatest invitation is not to seek more control, but to listen more deeply. Because sometimes the most transformative “disclosure” is not about what exists out there. It’s about what we’ve been unwilling or unable to see within ourselves ❤️.

Are there any marketing students or recent graduates looking for hands-on experience helping to execute a largely developed marketing plan for a growing behavioral health practice?

This is an opportunity to gain real-world marketing experience, build your resume, and contribute to meaningful work in the mental health field.

While I’m not able to provide formal academic supervision, my website developer has experience in healthcare marketing and is available to consult as needed. I can also offer a small stipend, and there may be opportunities for additional paid work for the right person.

If you’re interested or know of anyone who might be, please share or send me a message and we can discuss the opportunity further!

This Father’s Day, I’d like to offer something a little different.

Over the past several decades, we have asked men to change in important and necessary ways. We have asked fathers to be more emotionally available, more nurturing, more present, more communicative, and more connected to their children than generations before them. Many have answered that call.

But I also think we need to acknowledge something that doesn’t get talked about enough: we’ve asked men to redefine masculinity while often providing very little guidance on what that new definition looks like.

Many fathers today are navigating conflicting messages. Be strong, but be vulnerable. Lead, but don’t be controlling. Provide, but don’t let work take priority. Be emotionally expressive, but not too emotional. Be confident, but not intimidating.

And when they struggle with those contradictions, they are often met with criticism rather than understanding.

The truth is that most men were not raised with models for emotional vulnerability. Many were taught to suppress fear, sadness, uncertainty, and even tenderness. Then, as adults, they are expected to access emotional skills they were never shown, often while being judged for not already having them.

That doesn’t excuse harmful behavior. Growth and accountability matter. But so do compassion and context. Many fathers are doing the difficult work of breaking generational patterns while raising children in a world that looks very different from the one they grew up in. They are learning in real time. They are trying to find their footing. They are carrying expectations from every direction.

This Father’s Day, I want to honor the fathers who keep showing up despite the uncertainty. The fathers who are trying to be better than what they inherited. The fathers who are learning that strength and vulnerability are not opposites. The fathers who love deeply, even when they don’t always know how to express it.

May we create space not only for accountability, but also for understanding.

Happy Father’s Day.

Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, to ensure all enslaved people were freed, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth honors not just emancipation, but the resilience, culture, and achievements of Black Americans, recognizing that true freedom arrived in stages
