WHAT WE DO
The military does not have the internal capacity to treat all of its mental health patients. It refers out those patients it cannot treat to a limited number of private providers outside of the military.
HSR is one of those few providers. With TRICARE telehealth therapy, we aim to treat as many service members and family members as we can without any money coming out of their pockets.
OUR IMPACT
New Patients Served: 171
Therapy sessions provided at no cost to patient : 2533
Same ride.
Different experience.
You can white-knuckle it.
Tense. Bracing. Trying to control every turn.
Or…
You can loosen your grip.
Still alert. Still present.
Just not fighting the ride.
Here’s the part people miss:
The track doesn’t change.
All that tension?
It doesn’t make the ride safer.
It doesn’t make it smoother.
It just makes it harder.
In ACT, we call this:
Pain → unavoidable
Suffering → what we add when we resist and try to control everything
You’re still going through it either way.
You just don’t have to suffer as much doing it.

You can hold your feelings away from yourself.
And sometimes… you have to.
In a combat situation, for example,
compartmentalizing is essential.
Feelings can be a liability in the moment.
Mission first. React later.
Do it for an hour?
That’s skill.
Do it for a day?
Still adaptive.
Do it for a decade?
Now we’ve got a problem.
Because what works in acute situations
doesn’t always translate to everyday life.
Hold something at arm’s length long enough…
your arm gives out.
Same with emotions:
tension builds
burnout creeps in
disconnection follows
The goal isn’t to never compartmentalize.
It’s to not live there.
Short term tool. Not a long term strategy.

Quick experiment:
Imagine spitting into a glass over and over until it’s full…
and then drinking it.
Most people feel an immediate “ugh.”
Here’s the interesting part:
You swallow your saliva all day long.
Constantly. No reaction.
So what changed?
Not the substance.
The context your mind created around it.
That’s a core idea in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), developed by Steven C. Hayes.
Your mind can take something neutral
and turn it into something emotionally loaded.
Thoughts work the same way.
Just because your mind says something is “gross,” “bad,” or “dangerous”
doesn’t mean it actually is.
That reaction?
It’s learned. It’s constructed. It’s not always truth.
In ACT, we call this cognitive defusion
learning to step back from thoughts instead of automatically buying into them.
You don’t have to believe everything your mind produces.
