Hypnotherapy & the Subconscious Mind
If you’ve ever asked yourself “why am I like this,” and you haven’t found an answer, you’ve come to the right place. If you have a pretty good grasp on yourself but you still struggle to actually change the course of your life, you have come to the right place as well. Your holy grail lies in exploring and “reprogramming” your subconscious mind. This sounds complicated, but it is actually pretty simple, once you understand what it all means.

Mental Health Is a Luxury
There have been three mass shootings in the US this week, two at military bases. After every mass shooting, we hear a lot of talk from politicians, particularly Republicans, about the need to address mental health. It is all bovine excrement. Mental Health has been the illegitimate step child of public health since the beginning of public health. “Mental Health in this country is a luxury, and luxury is only for the wealthy”, wrote Kastalia Medrano in a recent article on Vox. Truer words have never been spoken.

DBT and Me
I’m currently participating in a weekly DBT group and we’re on the subject of how to use the Wise Mind skill. As I understand it, the wise mind skill is about bringing together rational thinking with emotional thinking. It’s kind of a right brain meets left brain scenario.

Some Misconceptions About Psychotherapy That Need to Be Broken
In today’s haphazard world, where almost all are frustrated and stressed due to extensive work pressure and the complexities of modern day living, the tension and depression level keeps increasing day by day. With the concept of going “solo” ruling the roost, the need for psychotherapy is real! There are hundreds of individuals opting for suicides and drugs because of not being able to cope with these mounting pressures. There is always one person amongst five who is stressed out, and one in two who is depressed. With the seriousness of the situation, a psychotherapy help is the only thing that can grab you out from sinking in badly.

Emily's Journal
8-14-19 Hello to all that might stumble upon this tragedy of a diary. I recently have been advised by my therapist to start writing again, particularly about my day. I thought it odd at first, but he said it will help me to differentiate between reality and what's in my head. Maybe it will help you if you see it in writing, he said to me. So obviously, this is trial and error, because giving meds is usually his last resort with his patients, or so he tells me.

Establishing Boundaries
My happiest memories as a three-year-old was the birth of my youngest brother, and the tingle within my spirit as I danced. I still sense the tickle around my heart as I remember anticipating the experiences this delicate being would add to my life. Dancing incited my physical self-awareness. I know my scattered improvisations were absurd. But I felt good stomping, spinning and flailing my limbs to the rhythm. I now experience the same rush as my body responds to music. I think I developed better coordination. While both events are different, each one reminds me, moments are temporary, but the impact can last forever. I was in my late thirties when a psychiatrist was gauging my ability to return home after a short stay in a Behavioral Unit. She helped me recognize what is necessary to create the dynamics that allowed a flow I found favorable, where I kept the pace. Our conversation included self-esteem, confidence, safety, and what I later learned to be a Locus of Control. During her explanation for each of those topics, she mentioned personal-boundaries every time.

Family Systems View of My Life as a Young Woman With Cerebral Palsy
At some point or another just about everyone tries to make some sense of his or her own life. In the busy world that most of us live in today, it is a blessing that we can stand on the shoulders of psychologists like Urie Bronfenbrenner, who provide a framework that allows us to examine our life from a developmental standpoint in a methodical way. As stated in the fifth edition of The Developing Person Through the Life Span, Urie Bronfenbrenner, a developmental researcher, created a developmental theory known as the Ecological Systems Theory. This theory proposes that each person is significantly affected by interactions among a number of overlapping ecosystems. These systems include the microsystem, the mesosystem, the exosystem, the macosystem, and more recently he added the chronosystem. The microsystem is the primary component to this theory, and for a child it involves the family, peer group, classroom, neighborhood, and for some, a place of worship. The next component is the interwoven relationship, or cooperation of at least two members in the microsystem. For example, if a parent meets with their child’s teacher to help the child, the mesosystem is at work.
