Caffeine during pregnancy is really frowned upon but honestly, so many of us are caffeine addicts that starting the day without a hot steaming mug of coffee can leave us with a persistent headache.ARTArticleIs it Depression or just the Blues?Look around you. Everyone’s life seems like a hot mess. One in ten adults in the U.S. are depressed. People are struggling due to job loss, economic failure, war, terrorism, relational problems, shattered dreams and unmet expectations. It’s enough to make anyone lose heart. Recent statistics estimate that by 2020, depression will be the second most common health problem in the world. Things just aren’t supposed to be this way.ARTArticleIs Stress Genetic?There are a number of chronic diseases that can be blamed on genetics but not a lot of people consider stress and anxiety to be passed down from parents.

However, war is only one context in which PTSD arises. Later, it became clear that this phenomenon of delayed emotional reactivity could result from many other contexts such as accidents and illness, physical assault, rape or witnessing acts of violence and devastation, natural or man-made.ARTArticleMindfulness Meditation Therapy for Resolving Emotional StressMMT can be defined as: the direct application of mindfulness to the present felt-sense of an emotional complex to facilitate transformation, resolution and healing.

Far too many people adopt the attitude that you should just "snap out of it," or "it's all in your head." The fact is; you can't decide you don't have a mental disorder any more than you could decide you don't have cancer. I want to explain what it's like to try to functioning in society with a debilitating psychological illness. I have Agoraphobia and severe Social Anxiety Disorder.r ARTArticlePain from a Break-up Resolved with EFTAs part of her ongoing "Life Makeover" psychotherapy process, Mia brought up her severe neck and shoulder pain in a session.

They are looking for an evening of entertainment. Some in the group may believe in reinca ation, others may not. Many times, no one in the group has experienced either hypnosis or past life regression. It will be a novel experience for them and there is often a sense of excitement and apprehension which is shared by the group. The evening usually starts with a brief introduction to hypnosis and the regression process. This helps to allay any fears or misconceptions.ARTArticlePast Life Regression TherapyWhat many therapists fail to recognize is that past life regression therapy is a therapeutic technique. They confuse the technique with the religious concept of reinca ation. They do not believe in Reinca ation so they dismiss the therapy without examining its merits. Their attitude is somewhat like a professor I had while I was taking my masters in psychology. His specialty was Physiological Psychology.ARTArticlePast Life Regression: A Safe Method For Personal Growth And Therapeutic ChangeHypnosis is the principle method used to regress someone to a past life. As a result, clients often express conce s about the safety of both hypnosis and the regression process. It is therefore necessary to dispel any misconceptions or apprehensions about hypnosis before one can deal with the question of whether or not past life regression is safe. Many year ago, I was asked to be on a phone-in radio program dealing with past life regression. I recall one caller who asked if I knew that hypnosis was a tool of the Devil.ARTArticlePregnancy & Postpartum Anxiety: How Dads Can Support MothersEmotional difficulties in women during pregnancy and after delivery are surprisingly common.
