Today was a great opportunity. I was invited to speak to with participants of "Pathways to Promise" about the art of journaling and the impact it can have on mental health, decision making, and emotional regulation. The primary audience being teens and young adults that grew up in foster care. These participants are fantastic! They are on their way to create bright futures. They engaged and welcomed me to have a conversation about unleashing their inner stories and the power of personal narrative.

Swipe through to see the slides and a few pics from the event.

I sincerely appreciate the support of who connected me to the event.

Advocacy comes in many forms, from all of us. Gestures like sharing insight uplifts those around us and provides them encouragement to express their authenticity.

Make time for others, however you can. During this session, the participants created powerful poetry and prose - on the spot! I am always in awe of the artistry that exists in all of us.

As a veteran, I want to invite you to a unique opportunity to connect with others. On Monday, November 11th we will come together for a celebration of those who have served our country. Join us as we build community through time shared together.

This is a free event open to & civilians.

The ask: Plan to engage in camaraderie & conversation with veterans while eating damn delicious BBQ.

The goal: Hope, Joy, Love, Kindness, & Connection for ALL.

A few weeks ago, Mind Above hosted a Women's Empowerment Group event. As a cisgender male clinician, I am fortunate to work with this group as the facilitator. Our discussions are real, introspective, supportive, and open to feedback of others in the group. Working with women in my practice continues to encourage me as a clinician to deepen my understanding of women's needs and be an ally that advocates.
I am also fortunate to partner with great people to expand what can be offered. During this event, we included trauma-informed yoga and iRest meditation provided by Shannon Thornton. She is amazing in every regard and so considerate of each person.
Here are a few pics from the event.

The arts & crafts surprise: Each attendee made their own keepsake keychain with positive affirmations and word charms.

1. They picked a word charm that they felt represented them now (hope, faith, kindness, brave, etc.)
2. They picked a word charm that they want to work to align with as a goal
3. They picked a word charm for each other and presented to each person in a one-on-one chat

They all took turns explaining what they chose and why. It was beautiful to see them truly embracing each other in such an uplifting way.

Women are awesome!

If my fear comes true, will it still matter in a week? A month? A year? Some of that old school psychology for you, it could be super effective and it could also help bring a sense of rational thinking back into an irrational time.

Oh, you know... Sunrise and window plants. That's two things to be grateful for. Try building your "appreciation inventory" by simply observing the world around you. Things you easily take for granted when rushing through the day can become impactful moments of awareness.

Curious observations:

Does appreciation have to be pretty things or picture-worthy?

What can you appreciate that might be difficult or challenging?

What will happen if you find yourself experiencing more appreciation and less negativity bias?

You are worthy of another day, another chance, another opportunity to discover who you are, inside and out. Let go of expectations and doubt.
Be patient, kind, and understanding to yourself. Perfection is a mythical unicorn that you chase after while grappling with the weight of self judgment. In other words, it's hard to keep up.

What words and things around you are you grateful for today?

Would you jump out of a plane with a therapist?
So, I really have to keep myself accountable as a provider. I had never skydived except a one-time indoor wind tunnel in Las Vegas in the 90s. I served in the U.S. Air Force and never jumped out of planes.
Fast forward to July 2022, I am co-leading outdoor retreats for veterans on a monthly basis and, as you see the horizon perspective in the picture, checking off terminal velocity from my "got to/want to/need to" list.🪂
If I am willing to encourage others to embrace vulnerability and have a willingness to try new things then I better be ready to show up and participate! This pic is right before I started yelling "righteous" and hooting loudly while throwing a shaka for the camera.🤙🏼
The expressions on everyone's face upon landing were absolutely priceless and filled with joy.
Special thanks to Skydive Moab for the great experience!

And people say therapy is boring... 😜

Good morning from Montana! First night on the retreat, our veterans group enjoyed a cliff side dinner with a beautiful view overlooking flowing water.

More to come!

Well, howdy! So, it's been a bit since I've posted on all the socials. Let me start by saying taking breaks from social media is absolutely okay. Sometimes we need to remember that our lives exist with the people and experiences that we share a connection with in the real. Our focus might be guided elsewhere by opportunity, hardship, or the unexpected.

For those of you that are not familiar with me (or wondering why I'm showing up on your feed 😉), I'm Jeremy Fusco. I am a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist in private practice at Mind Above where I work with a diverse client population talking about feelings, life, relationships, health, well-being, and other therapeutic woo-woo.

🤓What I am: ally to LGBTQ+, U.S. Air Force veteran, volunteer, veterans and military advocate, justice-involved provider, outdoors enthusiast, Star Wars fan, and ardent supporter of mental health that encourages realistic healing for each person.

🚫What I am not: Judgmental, Dr. Phil, psychic, or the only therapist that can help.

🤔What I am up to: Talking feelings, facilitating clinical and psychoeducation of veterans retreats that range from ski trips to dude ranches to skydiving and more, seeing people online and in-person for mental/behavioral care, creating well-being guidebooks, and some other cool things.

😄What I am looking forward to: Continuing to provide kick-ass authentic care for others, growing the unique services that assist people, treating each person holistically not just their diagnosis.

Be prepared for more to come! I look forward to sharing more updates and hope you have a great week.
