The uncertainty of the storm provokes a certain in anxiety in most of us. Some of those fears are very real, as government officials ask residents to evacuate areas directly in the path of the hurricane. Low-lying areas are especially at risk for flooding. Calm is a hard emotion to muster when our entire environment is turning against us. It is ever harder to remain calm when you’re asked to evacuate your home, and live in a shelter or with a family member for a few days. Will my home still be standing when I return? What about my most cherished possessions? Even folks who aren’t asked to evacuate fear the loss of electricity to their homes, and wheth...

A lot of clients I work with feel stuck in the middle of a transition they didn’t quite anticipate, or that felt thrust upon them, or whose ramifications they just couldn’t calculate at the outset of the change. Marriage, divorce, childbirth, graduating college, losing a job, moving back home: whether positive or negative, transitions can be messy. And they can also give birth to previously unforeseen opportunities for growth. Therapy is, after all, about change, so I guess it is no surprise that as a therapist I should be witness to transitions galore. William Bridges, author of a book aptly titled Transitions, writes that moving from here to there involves three distinct stages: endings, the middle ground, and beginnings. He emphasizes that...

That means the mania is really low-key and infrequent and the depression, at least in my case, for most of my life, has been pretty much nonstop. There are degrees of depression, of course. Mine gets severe relatively quickly and stays that way a relatively long time. Yes, I have been an inpatient at psychiatric hospitals. Yes, I have self-harmed. Yes, I have been on every psychotropic medication known to man, and failed most of them. The two that I’m on right now combine for one really annoying side effect. I have even, since about New Year’s, been undergoing a course of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). My memory is shot, along with many other things, but the suggesti...

Wow, surprising. You mean going to a foreign country, not necessarily knowing anyone, not necessarily having any job or job prospects, and not necessarily knowing the language can negatively impact your mental health? Do tell. The researchers “compared a sample of Mexican-born migrants (259 men and 295 women) after their arrival in the U.S. with a sample of non-migrants in Mexico (904 men and 1,615 women) on their risk for first onset of a de...

Will you be partaking in this prank-filled holiday? Let’s say not only are you not participating, but you are hiding from those who are. Maybe you should reconsider and embrace the practical joking for today. Think I’m crazy? In a 2008 New York Times article called, “April Fool! The Purpose of Pranks,” reporter Benedict Carey wrote about the psychology behind pranks. Interestingly, he found that initiation rites and coming of age rituals were a way to introduce a person to a group. The anger and embarrassment from being pranked may evoke a sense of self-awareness and self-reflection. Why? Being vulnerable and getting fooled opens up a whole can of worms getting us to question what we did or didn’t do that caused us to fall for a ...

This year’s topic was on helping returning soldiers — especially the National Guard and Reservists — reintegrate within their family, the workplace, and the community. It seems timely to talk about some of these issues to honor tomorrow, Veterans Day. The most moving stories for me came from the day’s first panel discussion, focused on the family. Ron Capps, a 25 year veteran of the U.S. Army and Army Reserves, told his story of dealing with the realities of war, and then of coming home and dealing with his feelings. “At the end of the day, I found myself categorizing mys...

About one in four family caregivers meet the clinical criteria of anxiety. And a recent study found that 41 percent of former caregivers of a spouse with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia experienced mild to severe depression up to three years after their spouse had died. Caregivers are so vulnerable to depression because they often sacrifice their own needs while tending to their loved one and because of the constant stress involved.

They are popular with the younger crowd, younger than me that is...with an age range that is wide open since I'm a "baby boomer" :-)I was encouraged by repeatedly seeing information about a BluFrog contest to FINALLY visit the site and take a look for myself. The site definitely looks fun and appealing, and I did make my way through the links to the ingredients in the BluFrog energy drink that claims to be healthier...they are pretty good...yes, some caffeine, but there are juices and natural nutrients and nothing artificial.And the contest....that looks like fun and appealing...I wouldn't mind winning the trip to t...

This year the half time show will feature New Jersey born (my home state) Bruce Springsteen, and the E Street Band. We usually don't entertain at our home for winter events, as it's a small lake-front cabin, better suited for summer entertaining, but we've been to a number of Super Bowl parties. Each bring their favorite dish to share, and a lot of fun is had by all.Usually I make the traditional hot Buffalo wings, nice and spicy, complete with celery sticks and Bleu Cheese dressing. I know that's been a staple for many years, and there are probably many new ideas out there, and new Super Bowl menu traditions that I'm not aware of. I was looking around at celebrations.com wher...

Like Afghanistan, old adversaries are coming back and new infections are emerging.  We are exposing ourselves to serious unexpected threats. We thought bugs were no competition for our big brains.  How wrong we were.  Recent West Nile fever in the U.S. was totally unexpected.  Yet the virus infected over 50,000 of us, sickened over 2000 and killed a dozen.  Yet there are more wild infections delivered intentionally by terrorists.

A week doesn’t go by that I don’t meet someone new who tells me a piece of their life story, and I glimpse at the desperation that eats them up inside. The desperation is usually for things we all hope for — a better life, a life not feeling this way. A life more “normal.” But after talking to people over all these years, I still can’t wrap my head around people who tell me they lie to their therapists. I just don’t get it. I take my car into the mechanic. I tell him what’s wrong with my car, or more specifically, the odd noises or strange odors coming from my car, because honestly, I have no idea what’s wrong with my car. Those symptoms lead the mechanic to have a few hunches ...

Surveys suggest that few companies are prepared to cope when their senior staff walks off with a great deal of key company knowledge.The Monster Organizational Knowledge Retention Report affirms that organizational knowledge retention is a serious problem in an age of brain drain. Recommendations include the responsibility of firms to recognize the value of knowledge and actively manage and protect it. The idea is to locate knowledge that is considered an asset. Then catalogue, organize and redistribute that knowledge. Offer rewards for the sharing of knowledge within a firm. Organizations that manage knowledge with a wider strategic approach will be more effective than those...
