Effective usage of breath work during a panic attack
This is a pretty accurate representation of a panic attack, and the use of the breath as a tool to manage the symptoms. For those that watch Ted Lasso, we get to see the progress that Ted has made with Dr. Sharon in learning a coping mechanism for anxiety. He has learned his cues that a panic attack is coming and has developed tools to fend it off. The look of relief and accomplishment at the end…

Childhood Trauma and Adult Sleep Disorders

A clear association has been identified between childhood trauma and adult distributive sleep patterns such as narcolepsy and insomnia.

Tamika, 26, was raised in a home with parents who were deeply religious. She was adopted and she was aware that she was adopted from an early age. A part of her always wondered about her birth parents, but she subconsciously felt trying to learn more about them would be a betrayal to her parents. Regularly, people said things like: “you’re so lucky you got adopted” which reinforced the belief…

Making time for your well-being
Making time for your well-being
Although its getting better, there is still an enormous amount of stigma and shame wrapped around the subject of mental health and seeking out help. Often times its viewed as embarrassing and/or shameful when the reality is that its no different from talking to your physical doctor about a pain in your knee or taking your car in when the check engine light comes on. Zero difference. Anyone can…

Facing our Fears
The feeling of disconnection and numbness that afflicts so many people’s lives comes from  habitually absenting ourselves from our difficult experiences.   Like a mountain climber that is stuck on their rope and would rather die there that way, we’re terrified of sinking down into those places within us that we refuse to inhabit.  The grief for what we’ve lost or never had, the longing for a…

Real Love
The idea of a thing, situation or person is often what is fallen prey to rather than experiencing the thing, situation or person itself. We can see this especially at play in matters of love; in our lives, in our friends’ lives and in fictional characters on TV and in movies.  However, very little of what is offered actually leads up to us having an authentic experience of love.  It can be that…

Writing your own Story
Writing your own Story
When you reach a certain age and look back over your life, it seems to have had an order; it seems to have been composed by someone. And those events, when they occurred, seemed merely accidental and occasional and just something that happened, turn out to be the main elements in a consistent plot. So, who composed this plot? Just as your dreams are composed by an aspect of yourself of which…

Just sit with it
Sit with it Instead of drinking it away, smoking it away, sleeping it away, eating it away, sexing it away or running from it in whatever manner, Just sit with it. Healing begins with feeling.

A New Year
You wanna make a resolution?Then start a revolution. Within yourself.Instead of the morning bathroom mirror pep talks and mantras, tell the person in your mirror that you love them and that you’re proud of them.Take a walk in the woods. Notice the trees; all the different kinds of trees. Big ones, small ones, tall straight ones, smaller crooked ones. Oaks, maples, and who knows what other kinds.…

Gratitude
When we practice being thankful, we go through the process of counting our blessings, acknowledging the wonderful people, things and places that make up our reality. While it is fine to be grateful for the good fortune we have accumulated, true thankfulness stems from a powerful comprehension of the gift of simply being alive. When we feel it, we feel it regardless of our circumstances. In this…
