New business cards arrived today for nearly every member of our counseling team. Always fun to tip open the package from @moo to unpack the goodness! Been using Moo for our biz card and special printing needs for 8+ years and always get amazing feedback on them. So easy. Top shelf packaging and printing. Always easy to customize and edit future orders. Most of all it helps us “put the mint on the pillow” as we communicate who we are and what we hope to offer our clients. Playing around with the micro biz card with a little tase of our website woven in. • www.elbowtreeflorida.com (at Saint Augustine Beach, Florida)

JOIN US FOR "ANDY IRONS, KISSED BY GOD" FILM • Save the Date: Saturday, August 11, 2018 - Gates open at 7:00 pm. Music by Kelp & Oh Great Sea at 7:30 pm. The film begins at 8:30 pm. at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre. Tickets are FREE! • A film about bipolar disorder and opioid addiction as seen through the life of three-time world champion surfer Andy Irons. Andy struggled with the same demons that millions of people worldwide battle with daily. Andy was an incredible presence on the world stage as the “People’s Champion.” He was the pride of Hawaii and revered around the world for his blue-collar rise to fame and success. However, many were unaware of his internal battles that led to his demise. As the opioid crisis rises to a national emergency in the United States, the untold story of Andy’s life serves to tear down the myths associated with these two ferocious diseases. The Andy Irons Story is a documentary film that focuses on the true, untold story of one of the world’s most prolific surfers. The intent of the film is to show the unfiltered life of Andy Irons, one that was filled with energy, passion, success, and challenges. Challenges that pushed Andy to the brink and were both the best parts of Andy and the hardest to handle. The filmmakers, Steve and Todd Jones, wanted to create a film that captured the true essence of Andy Irons - his family, his friends, and those who later realized a friendship that at times was hard to understand. The film features in-depth interviews with Andy’s brother Bruce Irons, his wife Lyndie Irons, Joel Parkinson, Nathan Fletcher, Sunny Garcia, and Kelly Slater. Andy’s friends, family, and competitors share their stories of intimacy and fire with Andy Irons throughout the film. The unabashedly honest testimonials compel the story and reveal the very real side of Andy. This is not a film about surfing; this is a film about a person that lived life to its fullest at the top of his industry but did so facing insurmountable internal challenges. This story is about everything that made Andy Irons the man he was. Presented by the Friends of the St. Augustine Amphitheatre and brought to you by the Saint Augustine Film Festival.

Lots of exciting developments happening around Elbow Tree this fall. • At Elbow Tree, we believe talk therapy aims at the heart and soul. Much of what brings our clients into counseling can be explored, understood, reinterpreted, treated and healed through simply talking about it. Sometimes talking isn't enough, though. Sometimes a significant portion of a client's distress is happening at the level of the brain. When that is the case, we want to aim at the brain. Medication is often used to treat the brain and can be exactly the right intervention. For folks who've not had the success they want with medication or would prefer to avoid medication altogether, we believe Neurofeedback is the answer! Retraining unhealthy brainwave patterns often eliminates or improves symptoms of the following common ailments: Insomnia ADHD/ADD Anxiety Depression Fibromyalgia Memory Loss Obsessive Comp Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Autism Chronic Fatigue Migraines Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Impulsivity (at Elbow Tree Florida)

One year ago we launched Elbow Tree in St Augustine and started seeing clients around the city in borrowed offices and spaces while our offices were being renovated. What a gift to have such killer friends and landlords who have helped this dream become a reality! This month we will host 7 therapists seeing clients in this amazing 130 year old Florida cracker house. Grateful to all the friends and family who cheer this venture on and for our clients who trust us to enter into ground zero of whatever situation they are in. Continued thanks to @theback40urbancafe as they have really been so gracious through the whole process. Thanks to Corner Construction for making this turn out so wonderfully. #turnhere #parkhere #counseling #selfcare #sta #localbusiness (at Elbow Tree Florida)

Cement apron has been poured street side with a handicap space to be poured later today. Final parking construction will finalize later this coming week. So grateful for our neighbors at @theback40urbancafe and their kindness as we address this. Our parking construction has impacted their daily flow and we’d love it if you could join me in showing our amazing neighbors some love by swinging in for some cajun shrimp tacos or a wet burrito. They’d be most grateful. You’ll be glad you did! #urban40 #bestneighbors #tacos #sta #eatlocal #wetburrito #killermeatloaf #elbowtree (at Elbow Tree Florida)

NEW BLOG: Firefighters and professional counselors have a shared sense of calling between them that is poignant and not lost on me. Neither group wants bad things to happen to people. However, when bad things do happen, we both want to be there. • "Being there" comes with a heavy price tag. • https://www.elbowtreeflorida.com/blog/being-there-learning-to-serve-firefighters (at Saint Augustine, Florida)

Just spent the last two full days with Orlando Fire Department attending the Firefighter Culture Clinician Awareness Program hosted by the Florida Firefighters Safety and Health Collaborative. Such an amazing emersion into the life of our firefighters who show up at ground zero moments all day and night every day and every night. If you hope to incorporate Care for first responders into your practice, I highly recommend attending the next gathering! (at Central Florida Fire Academy)

The power of a tribe can open us up to this kind of a vision... “The secret of being wrong isn't to avoid being wrong! The secret is being willing to be wrong. The secret is realizing that wrong isn't fatal. The only thing that makes people and organizations great is their willingness to be not great along the way. The desire to fail on the way to reaching a bigger goal is the untold secret of success.” • We heal way we were injured...in relationship. • #everyguyneedsatribe (at Elbow Tree Florida)

On the day after Father's day and in the midst of a hailstorm of upsetting news about immigrant children in danger, maybe this could be a practical way for us to invest in children today. We are selling handmade tote bags from Haiti. Read a little more here on my blog about how this connects to the lives of beloved immigrant children, one of which calls me "Dad." • https://www.elbowtreeflorida.com/blog/out-of-the-rubble • #Haiti @peacecycle (at Elbow Tree Florida)

I’ve always loved the character of cactus plants. • “Cacti are great plants to keep for protection, safety, calmness, relaxation, intensive healing issues in the home (long term illness, terminal illness, etc.) and so on. Cacti tend to project their energy into the space, while leafy plants tend to receive energy from the space. The spikes on cacti totally mimic the rays of energy coming off of them on the psychic level!” (https://pioneerthinking.com/the-healing-magical-power-of-house-plants) (at Elbow Tree Florida)

Today one of our new therapists on board at @elbowtreefl had her first local client. This time last year, this practice was a dream and a concept.
