When the World Is Breaking Your Heart
The other week, my husband and I were driving home after visiting a beloved family member who is struggling with the excruciating pain and to-the-bone weariness of cancer. As our car lugged down the highway, I thought about the ongoing cruelty of our world: the ravages of disease and war, the current pandemic, the never-ending inhumanity, inequality, and brutality, as well as the general disregard to our earth and the innocent creatures who are clinging to survive on it. (And, yes, I do realize that I’m just as guilty as the masses in spewing out pollution by the simple fact that I drive a car). I held back tears, and th...

My Journey from Fear to Love
"Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end." – John Lennon January - 2012 I remember sitting in a small dark room waiting for the surgeon to arrive. My son had just had major surgery, and it had taken much longer than expected. My stomach felt tense as the surgeon sat in the chair opposite us. He looks at the floor as he started to speak. "it's not good news," he said. "We think he has a week left to live." After that, my mind switched off. I felt my wife's head on my shoulder and heard her tears. Was it a bad dream? June – 2017 My feet feel heavy as I am ne...

6 Goal-Directed Strategies to Help Increase Your Resilience
Friedrich Nietzsche’s adage ‘That which does not kill us makes us stronger’ is the idea of rising above adversity in reaching personal development and growth. The challenging part is actually taking the necessary steps to face adversity and rise above it, when life throws a curveball. It is little surprise that resiliency has been linked to greater well-being for a variety of populations, including those of childhood trauma, those in life transitions, and those in team development and skills-building. Yet, developing and increasing our individual resiliency is often avoided or denied because by developing...

I ’ve Kept an Expressive Writing Journal for 4 Decades —  Here’s Why
This week, at the end of an online poetry class, our on-screen instructor asked, “Why do you write?” Then, she added:  “In writing, what is your greater purpose?” Now, I’ve been writing for myself and for publication since the mid 1970s. And, over the years, as I teach or lead narrative writing workshops, I’m sure I’ve posed that why-do-you-write question to my own writing students. But, shame on me, I had never really posed the question to myself.  Truthfully, for the rest of that day, as I tended to my usual work and deadlines, the instructor’s question niggled at me. Then, next morning, instead of penn...

That elephant in the room thing
This weekend I was incredibly fortunate to speak at Le Pub Scientifique (the next one is the super intelligent Tasha Stanton!) about one part of our pain conversation that’s absent: how do we have a conversation about when pain persists and doesn’t respond to any treatments? I still don’t have any research to show how we might broach this topic in a way that respects the person with pain, acknowledges just how poorly our treatments do, and provides a framework for us to collaborate. It’s like this big bogey sitting in our clinics that we pretend isn’t there. Why do we need to have this c...

Podcast: Debating ‘ Anti-Psychiatry ’ Advocacy
Conclusion, do not visit cardiologists. They will give you heart attacks. No, that’s ridiculous. It’s so mind blowing that anyone even said this, right? It’s just ugh. Obviously, people who are extremely sick and who are at risk of killing themselves get psychiatric care. No kidding. So, yeah, this is, in fact, very dangerous. Gabe: The word bullshit is not big enough. This is the literal equivalent of me saying that I looked at fifty thousand people who went to the hospital in the last year. And you were much more likely to die if you had a hospital admission. Now, I’m talking physical health now. ...

A new hormonal therapy for prostate cancer is under expedited FDA review
In June, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched an accelerated review of a promising new drug for advanced prostate cancer. Called relugolix, it suppresses testosterone and other hormones that speed the cancer’s growth. If approved, this new type of hormonal therapy is expected to set a new standard of care for the disease. Doctors give hormonal therapies when a man’s tumor is metastasizing (spreading beyond the prostate), or if his PSA levels start rising after surgery or radiation. The most commonly used hormonal therapies, called LHRH agonists, will eventually lower testosterone levels in blood. ...

A young woman in her early 20s with syncope
Written by Pendell MeyersA 20 year old female with an episode of syncope was triage to my low acuity zone one morning. Her vitals were within normal limits except for her heart rate of 109 bpm.I immediately went to evaluate her, without looking in the chart first. I found a well appearing young lady in the room with her parents who witnessed the event. She stated that she was sitting on a shallow ledge in a pool when she became lightheaded, so she got up out of the pool and then briefly syncopized next to the pool in front of her parents, who were able to catch her preventing any trauma. She returned to normal within 30 se...

How Your Body Can Lead You Through Grief
  I remember every detail of that Saturday morning in 2016. It was June 18, and my husband, Bill, and I shared a beautiful snuggle before getting out of bed. I got ready for a ride with my cycling group as he prepared to participate in a sailing regatta. We kissed goodbye knowing we would reunite later in the day for dinner with his son and new daughter-in-law. The rest of the day, however, is a blur—it was the day my life forever changed. My husband did not make it to the regatta. He was found unresponsive on our bathroom floor, and at age 48, in a flash, I became a widow. But what came next surprised me. It’s c...
