REPLAY: While we work on some MAJOR things, and in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, this week's episode is a replay of one of our favorite military mental health gurus.  If you heard it the first time, take the week to check in with you and your level of stuffing. If you're new here, welcome to the stuffer club, and know that we ALL need a good hug occasionally. We'll be back! ttyl


How to Hug a Stuffer: The Power of a "Husky" Hug with Maj Brock McNabb, 711 Human Performance Wing Integrated Operational Support LCSW.

Join Doc's Sarah & Alyse for a laid-back conversation about the power of a "husky" hug in human performance! We chat about how to hug a stuffer, the importance of human touch in human performance, and get nerdy chatting about the nervous system's response to hugging! 
Brock shares his wartime stories spotlighting the true family culture of special warfare and how connection is more than just through words. We reflect on how the key to human performance care is by being a team player and building trust kinetically.
