Self Knowledge is Your Key to Change

Self Knowledge is Your Key to Change A smart man once said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting a different result. But sometimes, both personally and in my psychotherapy practice, I run up against a problem that seems like a brick wall. All of the usual therapeutic techniques aren’t helping. It feels like I’m running into the brick wall over and over again, but expecting a different result. This can be incredibly painful. The suffering that we’re trying to heal from can be compounded by a sense of despair. No matter what we do, it feels like things aren’t going to get better. It seems like there must be a missing ingredient – some key thing we could do differently that would result in a different, more transformative, outcome. 15 years ago, I put my Mind-Body training at Harvard to work with some patients,…

Social Anxiety

Loosen The Grip Of Social Anxiety

 READY TO LOOSEN THE GRIP OF SOCIAL ANXIETY? Try Mindfulness Meditation Outward appearances of anxiety, shyness or social avoidance behaviors can be a reflection of an inner life marked by fear, self doubt and criticism. The world is seen as a place where interacting with others runs the risk of being judged and painfully rejected.  This mindset usually includes deeply held expectations of failure that run on automatic pilot and can become a repeating self-fulfilling prophecy. Over time you can get stuck in this kind of self -limiting movie that you continue to replay. In doing so you lose touch with the vital social involvement that you are capable of  and go through a lot of unnecessary suffering. When we understand social anxiety in this way we can readily see that the more at ease one feels, the less likely that there will be social anxiety. One user-friendly skill that I have found helpful is the ability…

A Wonderful Anxiety Reduction Technique I Find Helpful

A WONDERFUL ANXIETY REDUCTION TECHNIQUE I FIND HELPFUL The Relaxation Response   Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults in the United States age 18 and older (18% of the United states population). Anxiety  disorders are highly  treatable, and a tool that I have found helpful for my patients who experience anxiety is the Relaxation Response.  One of my first meditation teachers was Herbert Benson, MD at Harvard University. He is presently Director Emeritus of the Benson-Henry Mind-Body Institute of Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital. I would like to share with you this exercise which Dr. Benson researched and developed in the 1970’s. It allows us to rely on our incredible internal mind body resources rather than external fixes for self healing. The Relaxation Response exercise described below and  in his  classic bestselling book, The Relaxation Response, counteracts the fight or flight response and calms the mind and body. What is particularly important in the eliciting…

Having Trouble Relaxing? Try This Anxiety Reduction Meditation

Having trouble Relaxing?  Try This Anxiety Reduction Meditation   Anxiety plays tricks. It tells you that everything you feel is serious and skews our perception of reality. Anxiety is a slow to evolve trait left over from our prehistoric ancestors. (Apparently our brains haven’t figured out that the lions are no longer lurking in the bushes.) We experience many issues as making us excessively anxious, giving us panic attacks, giving us those butterflies in the stomach, making our heart race and experiencing cold sweats. Our fears make us think we may need to run to the nearest hospital’s emergency room to have ourselves checked out for a possible heart attack. You may be smoking, using drugs or alcohol, overeating, internet surfing, TV watching, or just busyness, anyway to stop those very uncomfortable feelings from coming to the fore.  Your doctor may have put you on anti anxiety drugs which help in some ways, but may…

Welcome To My Blog

WELCOME TO MY BLOG   The Spring Solstice has come and gone, and in most places the world is green, lush, and growing. This spring, in addition to being a time of renewal and regeneration in nature, marks the updating of my website and the beginning of my Blog. I offer this Blog as a prayer of joyful gratitude… to all the connections with people who have transported me to that sacred space inside me… I hope this will take you to the sacred space inside you… that connects us all to each other and to our Source of Joy. In honor of starting my blog I would like to share the final piece from the end of Tosha Silver’s book,”Outrageous Openness.” Letting go just takes practice and in her poem she describes what her journey of opening up to the sacred has been like. SOMETHING HAPPENS Something happens after you align with the…

Spirituality

Spirituality with Psychology

Integrating Spirituality with Psychology Life’s difficulties can often bring a person’s sense of religion and spirituality to the surface. As a psychotherapist I welcome the exploration of these dimensions as a profound resource that can potentially be tapped to promote psychological well being. Some definitions: Religion has been defined by Dew and colleagues (2008) as an “organized system of beliefs, rituals, practices, and community, oriented toward the sacred” (p. 382). Religion tends to focus on formal organizations with specifically defined and widely accepted beliefs, practices, and traditions. Spirituality, in contrast, can be thought of as a “search for the sacred, a process through which people seek to discover, hold on to, and, when necessary, transform whatever they hold sacred in their lives” (Hill & Pargament, 2008, p. 4). This can be a very private experience and need not be part of experiences in organized religion. But, one can be religious but not spiritual, spiritual…
