PTSD and the Complexity of Intimacy

When Love Meets Triggers

Apr 26

An African American couple stands on the Golden Gate Bridge at sunset, bathed in golden light. The man, wearing a dark hoodie, rests his face in one hand, visibly burdened. The woman leans into him with quiet strength, her hand resting gently on his chest. Both wear solemn expressions, but their closeness speaks volumes — of shared pain, mutual support, and enduring love. The iconic red structure stretches behind them, symbolizing the bridge between trauma and healing, fear and intimacy.

A photograph features an elderly African American man, approximately 65 years old, sitting next to his adult son, who appears to be in his early 40s, inside a doctor’s office. The atmosphere is calm and professional. The older man wears a charcoal sweater, and the son wears a rust-colored pullover. Across from them, a female doctor with a stethoscope engages them in a focused conversation, pointing to medical documents. Behind her are shelves with books, and clinical equipment.

Anxiety: It’s Crippling, It’s Worry, It’s Pain — But It’s Defeatable

By Jay Thomas — Mental Health Professional, Author, Combat Veteran

May 3

A young man stands motionless in the middle of a blurred, fast-moving crowd. His expression is anxious and withdrawn, eyes cast forward as if searching for safety in the chaos. The blur surrounding him symbolizes how anxiety feels — being stuck in stillness while the world spins around you.
