Ripples in Purdy

Ripples in Purdy

On August 02, 2023, Clara Kincaid* picked up her morning coffee and settled into her usual spot overlooking Lake Purdy. It was her moment of peace before the day began. As she scrolled through the news on her phone, her eyes landed on an article about a major storm causing severe flooding in neighboring towns.

This storm hit close to home for Clara. Several years ago, she had lost her home in a flood. The memory of that trauma was still raw, and the news made her heart race. The images of devastation brought back emotions she had buried deep. And it wasn’t just the flooding that triggered Clara—her brother had turned to alcohol to cope with the loss and never recovered.

Desperate for a solution to her renewed anxiety, Clara came across the Stepping Into Action program on the Hofman and Hollis website. She hesitated at first but decided it was time to do something proactive about her feelings. The program provided structured steps to reduce her anxiety and face her past head-on. As she dived into the material, one line struck a chord, 'You can't change the past, but you can shape your future.'

Clara found solace in the actionable steps provided. She followed the program rigorously, and soon, her long-buried fears began to lift. Psychological experts like Dr. Helen Swanson praised such programs, noting that structured interventions can significantly reduce trauma-related anxiety. However, Dr. Marcus Rios cautioned that online programs might lack the personalized touch necessary for deep-rooted issues.

Ultimately, Clara realized that seeking help was a pivotal decision. Though there were no local resources to cater to her needs, the online program was surprisingly effective. It was a challenging journey, but one that made her stronger and more resilient. In the end, Clara concluded that accessing help, even virtually, was the best choice she ever made.
