During the opening sequence of her documentary No Woman No Cry, Christy Turlington admits that she’s led a pretty charmed life, but something happened the day that she gave birth to her daughter and there were complications: “I went from invincible to powerless.” Though Turlington got medical care and both she and her daughter were fine, she realized how fortunate she was to have access to quality maternity care. The experience sent her on a new kind of journey, not only of motherhood but of a mission to learn about maternal health around the world and try to raise awareness about women’s health issues. Her travels took her from Bangladesh to Guatemal...

What the heck is dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and why does it have such a weird name? DBT is a specific type of therapy invented in the early 1990s by Marsha Linehan, a psychologist at the University of Washington in Seattle, to treat borderline personality disorder. Its primary focus is providing a validating environment for someone with this disorder, and helping them view the therapist as an ally in growth and change. Linehan also recognized that people with borderline personality disorder often lacked certain skills that most of us learn intrinsically, which made their lives even more difficult. The skills are taught in four parts and include Mindfulness, Interpersonal e...

Created by David Life and Sharon Gannon as recently as 1984, Jivamukti has tons of celeb devotees including Gywneth Paltrow, Sting, Christy Turlington, and Russell Simmons. Defined in Sanskrit as “liberation while living,” these movements use intense physical and mental exercises to bring yogic philosophy, ethical awareness, and enlightenment to the practitioner’s daily life. Although classes use the same elements (chanting, meditation, asanas, pranayama, and music), each vigorous 90-minute session concentrates on a particular theme. The five themes are: Scripture teachings of Sanskrit, bhakti (devotion to God), ahimsa (passivity and co...

That is, if you believe that Christmas should be measured in the amount of gifts you give (or receive). And while most of us wouldn’t say we believe the number of gifts we give to our children is important, many still rely on quantity acting as some sort of indicator of parental worthiness. Psych Central writers have written before on this topic, doing Christmas on a budget and providing answers to people who believe simplifying during the holidays is just not possible. It is. And you should always set a budget for gift purchases every year (for all occasions, not just Christmas). “But what if that budget this year is smaller than in years past? Won’t m...
