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
Let them leave.
When conflict escalates, one person often tries to step away.
That moment matters more than people realize.
Blocking the doorway.
Following.
Insisting it gets resolved right now.
It can feel like urgency.
It can feel like “we’re not done.”
But preventing someone from leaving
can shift into coercive control.
Research on coercive control (Evan Stark) highlights restricting movement and limiting a partner’s ability to disengage as early forms of control.
And studies on relationship conflict show that when people become physiologically overwhelmed,
continuing the interaction increases the risk of escalation (John Gottman).
Translation:
If someone is trying to leave,
let them.
Space isn’t abandonment.
It’s regulation.
You can come back to the conversation later.
You can’t undo a moment that crosses a line.

You’re going to argue.
That’s not the problem.
How you argue is.
Set the line before things get heated:
No name-calling
No yelling or throwing
No threatening divorce in the moment
Once those lines get crossed, it’s hard to undo.
It becomes the new normal.
And that’s a tough place to come back from.
If you feel yourself tipping over:
Pause.
“I’m getting heated. I’m stepping away.”
That’s not avoidance.
That’s protection.
You’re protecting:
the relationship
the respect
each other
Win the argument if you need to.
Just don’t lose the relationship doing it.

Not everything that feels heavy looks obvious.
Sometimes it’s just…
feeling off
being more irritable than usual
pulling away
or trying to push through—but it keeps coming back
You don’t have to wait until things get worse to talk to someone.

It means you’re taking care of yourself.
