You May be suffering in silence – But you are nOT alone.

Are you emotionally exhausted? Do you find yourself routinely wrestling with worry and slowly sinking into sadness? Do pestering thoughts prevent you from getting the quality of sleep you desire? Do you keep forcing a smile on your face but inside you don’t know how long you can keep this up?

What’s going on? You love your family, but lately you’ve found yourself getting increasingly irritated by them. Your feel lonely but you don’t have the energy to put into relationships. You were once inspired by the work you do, but now you find yourself dreading work – and it shows. This isn’t like you. You feel guilty that you are not doing better, and you feel ashamed that you can’t “figure it out”.

You are NOT alone. You’re not a terrible person and you are not broken or flawed. You are human. And no one every taught you how to interact with your incredibly powerful brain. With education and support, you can learn how to interact with your mind in ways that reduce suffering and improve your quality of life. The Peace-Able community can help you do just that.

Will It work for Me?

While it is almost impossible to predict the exact outcome for any individual, we can look at group data to try to answer this question. In healthcare, a statistic known as effect size is often used to compare one treatment versus another. The larger the effect size, the more effective the treatment. A small effect size is about .2 while .5 would represent a medium effect size. Below is a comparison of the effect size of common mental health treatments and the Peace-Able curriculum (Peace-Able Foundations). See how the Peace-Able Foundations curriculum stacks up to common mental health treatments.

Psychiatric Medication

Anti-depressant = .34*
Anti-anxiety = .37*

Therapy

Psychotherapy = .34*

Combined Treatment

Psychotherapy + Medication = .31*

Peace-Able Foundations

Peace-Able = .51**

* World Psychiatry (2022), 21: pp. 133-145.

** Based on data from 184 individual clients seen by Dr. Smitham 2022-24.

FAQ

Who is this for?

Peace-able is a community for anyone interested in improving and maintaining their emotional health and psychological fitness. It may be especially beneficial for “givers and helpers” (e.g., parents, teachers, healthcare workers, etc.) – individuals who are used to prioritizing the needs of others above their own and who often push their own self-care needs down on their priority list. Peace-Able is intended to be a safe place online where “givers and helpers” can get training, support, tools, and strategies to meet their needs without feeling like they are burdening others.

Is this online therapy/counseling? Will Peace-Able replace my therapy/counseling?

No. Peace-Able offers education, training, support, and community. It is NOT therapy (no diagnosis will be made, no treatment for a diagnosis will be offered). Instead, the focus of Peace-Able is to improve your overall emotional health and psychological fitness. Think of it like a yoga studio for your mind. Just like the practice of yoga has many health benefits and may help you prevent severe health issues later in life, the mental practices you’ll learn in the Peace-Able Foundations course may help you reduce the risk of severe mental health episodes in the future. In addition, just like the benefits of yoga deepen and amplify with consistent continued practice, the benefits of the Peace-Able practices will also deepen and amplify with consistent practice over time.

Why bill as a subscription?

In short, convenience and community.

In terms of convenience, billing as a subscription allows these resources to be available for you when you need them. You don’t need to wait until office hours or to wait until there is an opening in the schedule. You can access the education and community support 24/7. You can post a question in the middle of the night and get a response often as early as the next morning. And you can come back as often as you need to refresh your knowledge, review skills, receive or provide support to the community.

Community. Information alone does not change someone’s life. In order to transform one’s life, we need not only knowledge but also the support to apply that knowledge consistently. That requires practice, feedback from others, the ability to ask questions and then corrected practice. Persistent practice with proper support is the secret sauce to lasting change. In my experience, while the concepts and tools discussed in the Peace-Able Foundations course are simple to understand, they require practice, feedback, and support to master.

Think of activities like golf or yoga. Technically, you can learn golf or yoga by reading a book or taking a class. But it is through consistent practice that one becomes better at these activities. As our skill improves with an activity so does the joy we find in the practice. I want members to maintain and improve their emotional health not as a one off event but as a lifestyle pursuit. I want to support them through the whole journey. I want them to have access to community support and professional guidance for an extended time so that they can reap the full benefit of practice, feedback, and support in transforming their lives.
