Throughout pregnancy it is important to identify core issues that may have impacted your own growth and development. Being mindful of your own emotional wellbeing and beginning a therapeutic journey may help you throughout your new journey to motherhood. Exploring past issues and resolving them before the baby arrives can put you at a greater advantage to bond and create secure attachment with your baby.

Mindfulness is the first key. As mothers, we have intuition about our babies and their needs. We need to turn on that intuition early in pregnancy and turn it towards ourselves. This can help us to identify where we need to concentrate in terms of our own mental health.

Identifying past issues and resolving them can help create a more stable environment for when your baby arrives. Do you and your partner continuously have the same fight? Do you never get along with your in laws? These are things that are important to work on now! Family and those peripheral relationships are the backbone for your child’s life. Increasing positive familial relationships will help give you support throughout your pregnancy and love and support when the baby arrives.

Trust yourself. Pregnancy is a rollercoaster of emotions and hormones. It is important to trust in your decisions that led you to this point. Trust in your partner and family members, and most importantly, trust yourself. Whether you wanted to be in this situation or not, if you have decided to stay, stay. Make smart choices and follow through. This will increase your perseverance and improve your motherhood qualities in the future.

Cultivate a positive mindset. It is hard to think positive when your bloated, gaining weight, nauseous, sore, or all of the above. However, our mindset can be directly correlated to how we feel. Utilizing positive affirmations can increase our productivity and get us through a tough day. Creating your own personal affirmations is a crucial piece of the puzzle. Where do your thoughts turn negative? Turn those negative thoughts into positive ‘I’ statements to generate healthy and positive feelings. As your baby grows, it will notice the difference between a happy womb and an unhappy womb.

All of these tools can help improve mental health from the beginning of pregnancy. In turn, it will help you put your best foot forward into the realm of motherhood. It is important to prepare yourself physically and mentally for the changes that life is bringing you. Utilizing these tools will help create a positive atmosphere for your growing baby to thrive.

There are many types of phobias. Social phobia is the fear of social situations that may involve scrutiny or judgment by others. Specific phobia includes many different fears. Some examples are fear of certain animals, bridges, claustrophobia (tight spaces), heights, bridges, tunnels, hydrophobia (fear of water) agoraphobia (fear of open spaces and going outside), and many more. Many People suffer from these fears on a daily basis. So how do we conquer our fears?

The most evidenced based practice is by cognitive behavioral therapy. Utilizing behavior modification and cognitive techniques you can change your thoughts and behaviors, thus, making you less fearful of whatever your fear may be.

For many phobias, it is often helpful to utilize desensitization and exposure therapy. This helps you change your response to the situation or stimuli that you fear by gradually exposing you to that fear. Gradual and repeated exposure can help reduce the anxiety associated with your fear. This method should only be done with support from a healthcare professional. (Don’t try this at home kids!). Taking small steps in the right direction can help promote a less fearful outlook towards the stimuli.

For most phobias, Cognitive behavioral therapy is a more comprehensive approach of therapy. It incorporates the behavioral aspect of exposure and includes learning ways to cope with the feared object and anxiety. With your therapist you can learn alternate ways to view your fear and explore automatic thoughts and beliefs that may have been associated with your phobia. These automatic thoughts may have been contributing to increased fear of the stimuli. By exploring these beliefs you can create awareness and open yourself up to new thoughts. Then you can develop a sense of mastery and control over your thoughts and feelings.

Combining desensitization and cognitive techniques is a great way to treat phobias. Another cognitive technique used is the hierarchy. A hierarchy is a list that you create that quantifies your fears from less fearful to most fearful. This is a great way to start treatment of phobias because it puts into perspective how fearful a situation or stimuli might be. You start addressing the least fearful first and work your way to the top. This also makes the treatment more palatable because you are treating each situation on its own.

Relaxation techniques such as visualization, imagery, and deep breathing are also used in conjunction with behavioral approaches to treatment. These techniques are utilized throughout the desensitization process to help calm and control the person with the phobia. They are helpful throughout the therapeutic process.

Utilizing Cognitive Behavioral techniques combined with support from family and friends can help treat most phobias. Letting your family and support system be aware of your phobia so they can support and encourage is helpful to keeping the therapeutic process working outside of the therapeutic environment. Conquering a fear is one of the toughest things to accomplish, but also the most empowering.

Meditation is a complex process of slowing down your breathing and your mind. It is not an easy feat to accomplish. The definition of meditation is the emptying of the mind of thoughts, or the concentration of the mind on one thing, in order to aid mental or spiritual development, contemplation or relaxation.

Meditation can bring about spiritual transformation. This can help improve your overall mental health. Learning ways to channel your thoughts can help reduce aggression and violence and increase nurturing and loving environments. Here are some easy tools to help you begin your meditation practice:

1. Pick soft music. You can buy or download relaxation cd’s or create your own with soft melodic music. The music must be melody only. No words.
2. Sit comfortably. If cross legged is your most comfortable position that is fine, if it’s not, pick a sitting position that you feel comfortable in. Try to achieve a balanced posture.
3. Close your eyes. It is easier to concentrate if your eyes are closed. You can become in tune with your consciousness by closing your eyes and listening to your inner thoughts.
4. Experience what is around you. Use all your five senses to distinguish your environment and focus solely on this.
5. Incorporate deep breathing. Inhale for five counts and exhale for five counts. (Yes it is that easy to breathe). Utilize your deep breathing as a way to measure your tranquility. Inhale your thoughts and feelings and exhale your worry. Continue this process for up to 5 minutes (the length of meditation is solely based on what you want to achieve).
6. Utilize visualization techniques to focus on something. Whether it is a crystal ball, sunset on a beach, or the Rocky Mountains. Visualize a particular place and concentrate on that place alone.
7. Involve all the five senses into your visualization so you can truly experience it. Touch it, taste it, smell it, see it, hear it. Let yourself sit with this until you feel calm. (Length of visualization varies from person to person).
8. Slowly open your eyes, continuing your deep breathing, and re engage with the world.

Now you can incorporate these easy steps to help begin your meditation practice. You may be surprised what a difference it can make. Meditation helps put your life into perspective so you can focus on what really matters. Take some time out of your busy schedule to meditate today and reap the benefits that yogi’s have been gaining for years.

The process of psychotherapy is to help people get “unstuck”. Whether it is working through a trauma, divorce, sickness, or day to day activities; the process unfolds insight and increases awareness into the self. People are able to gain a better understanding of their own behavior and issues. Then they are able to identify their feelings and motivate themselves to be a better person. Therapy helps improve overall health and well being. This in turn can translate into increased self confidence and productivity which can let people live up to their full potential.

People at any age can benefit from the process and experience of therapy. The old adage “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” is not something that translates into counseling. Increasing awareness and insight can in turn create new affects, behaviors, and cognitions.

ometimes in our lives we just need someone to talk to. A therapist’s job is to provide active listening and unconditional empathy. Where else in your life do you have a one way relationship devoted 110% to you? Most relationships provide a selfish need. The relationship between therapist and patient is for the pure benefit of the patient. This creates a safe space for the patient to explore their feelings without fear of upsetting the person they are speaking to. This therapeutic alliance can give the patient confidence, ease their anxiety, and create space for true identification of their thoughts and beliefs.

By definition psychotherapy is “the treatment of emotional, behavioral, personality, and psychiatric disorders based primarily on verbal and nonverbal communication and interventions with the patient,” Simply put, psychotherapy aims to alleviate psychological distress through talking. This includes, but is not limited to, those with psychiatric conditions. Psychotherapy is a universal treatment that can help improve coping with everyday life.

Play Therapy is taught from the theoretical approach of “getting on to the child’s level”. By using the child’s own language (i.e. playing), clinicians are able to connect deeper with their clients and provide a positive environment for the therapy to grow.

Children benefit from play therapy by learning how to express their thoughts and feeling in constructive ways. The powerful techniques of this treatment foster decision-making and acceptance of responsibility. It helps teach children problem solving and coping skills for daily stress as well as a practical place for children to explore and practice social skills for appropriate behaviors.

Children are able to learn and explore the ever changing world by having a “safe place” to explore thoughts and concerns. They can learn from their mistakes in this safe setting, which helps to increase confidence and creativity.

Play therapy helps to support emotional healing and growth. It is a non-direct approach that allows the child to have some control over the therapy session. It allows for the clinician and child to work together towards growth and achievement and balances the power dynamic between adult and child.

By utilizing a play therapy approach, it allows the child to not think of therapy as a “punishment”. It creates a safe psychological space where they can explore and grow.

High sugar diets may aggravate or potentate disturbances throughout the body, including those that are symptoms of ADHD. By improving overall eating patterns these aggravations can be minimized. There is a significant causal relationship between sugar consumption and children with ADHD. Children with ADHD that consume high sugar diets are shown to have more fluctuations and aggravations in their symptoms. By consuming low carbohydrate foods you can lower the amount of sugar-consumed daily. Incorporating whole grains and complex carbohydrates that take longer to digest can help to sustain blood sugar levels throughout the day. This can in turn help children’s behavior to stay balanced.

Instead of relying on pure sugar for energy, incorporating a steady supply of protein throughout the day can be more beneficial. High quality protein from meat, fish or poultry gives our muscles fuel. Utilizing protein as fuel can help make your body more efficient and improve the body’s chemistry and healing abilities.

Involving leafy green vegetables, calcium, and essential fatty acids is another key ingredient in proper nutrition. Fatty fish (Tuna and Salmon), flax seeds, nuts (walnuts and almonds), low fat yogurts and cheese are important “brain foods”. Spinach and Brussel Sprouts are the “super vegetable of 2012”. Combining all of these suggestions can help stabilize your child’s behavior, provide proper nutrition, and improve brain development. Try implementing these changes with the whole family to improve success.

Step 1:
The most important thing when making a Resolution is to KEEP IT SIMPLE. Think of your everyday life and something you want to change. Not something big, but something that you think you can do better. That’s a good place to start.

Step 2:
So many times we try to change things that are complicated or too hard for us. A simple and REALISTIC goal is what will help you succeed in your resolution. Do you want to lose weight? Well maybe 50 lbs isn’t realistic… but maybe 10 is. So carve out a simple and realistic goal and then set out to make an action plan. This will help you plan and organize how you can achieve this goal. (And once you have achieved this goal, you can move onto the next 10 pounds and so on…)

Step 3:
Taking small steps will help keep your motivation for the long haul. A major life change may seem daunting if it’s all at once. But if you give yourself small tasks that lead up to the major goal this will help it become more attainable. Giving weekly or even daily goals can help break down a large resolution so it is more palatable. Along with small steps is to track them. If we can see our progress throughout the year then we are more likely to keep going. Form a spreadsheet or even a blank piece of paper on your desk where you can reference your progress daily or weekly (depending on the goal).

Step 4:
Positive thinking is a MUST. You need to be your own motivator, so it’s important to cut yourself some slack. So you yelled at your spouse when you vowed to control your temper? So you ate that cookie you swore you wouldn’t touch? You can still attain your resolution. There are 364 more days of the year and every day counts. Give yourself positive reinforcement. Utilize positive affirmations in the mirror and say to yourself “I will do this” or “I believe in myself” every day to keep your motivation and encouragement. Research has shown that positive affirmations can help send your brain positive messages that will in turn create a positive mood.

Step 5:
Ask family and friends to join in. This is the reason why group counseling and Alcoholics Anonymous works so well. When we have others to answer to it helps make us accountable. Accountability helps us succeed. It also makes whatever we are working towards more fun. When we have a friend or family member participating in the activity it can boost our motivation and enjoyment. It can also help bring couples and families together. Quality time doing activities that better ourselves can help improve our personal and romantic relationships. The more satisfied we are with ourselves the more satisfied we will be with our relationships as well.

Step 6:
And the most important of all: Reward yourself. When you are working hard at achieving your goals it’s important to give yourself a pat on the back. You’ve been calm all week? Have that extra cookie! You did all your workouts? Sleep in one morning! You haven’t drank alcohol in a month? Do something fun! All work and no play make no one happy. The reason we have New Year’s Resolutions is to better ourselves. If we aren’t happier than we aren’t really better.

Following these simple steps will help create the change you want to make in your life. Let 2012 be the year that you make it happen. Improve those failing relationships, overcome a fear, lose the weight, and try something new! Let yourself shine in the New Year so you can be the person you want to be.

Current  research has identified critical personal characteristics that can help young adults as they begin their careers. They discovered three psychological orientations and behaviors that influence employment success during the transition to adulthood: educational aspirations, career goal certainty, and job search activities. 

Young adults who maintained high career aspirations and clarity of career goals from age 18 to 30 were more likely to be employed between 2007 and 2009 (when they were 33-36 years old) and also to have higher wages in 2009. However, young workers uncertain of their career goals were less successful in weathering the economic turmoil.

Recent research has shown that the appeal lies in how video games allow players to adopt desired personality traits, which in turn bolsters their self-esteem.  Studies have investigated the idea that many people enjoy playing video games because it gives them the chance to “try on” characteristics they would like to have as their ideal self.Much research on video games has concentrated on the possible harmful effects, ignoring the simple question of why people actually want to play them.

A key finding in the current study is that having the ability to virtually change identity and acting through the identity (be it hero, sports star, villain, or a different gender) makes people feel better about themselves and less negative. Researchers found that the enjoyment element of the video games seemed to be greater when there was the least overlap between someone’s actual self and their ideal self.

The suggestion that people are using video games as a positive, self-esteem builder instead of a way to escape from themselves is itself significant.

     Women who are more resilient, economically stable, have a strong work ethic, are independent and competent are less likely to suffer from PTSD symptoms.  Researchers have found that resiliency was enhanced if mothers were employed full-time — that is, gainful employment has a positive influence on their children’s recovery from witnessing domestic violence.

     PTSD in adulthood is increased if a child had witnessed the abuse of their mother; among children whose mothers experienced mental problems; and in children who witnessed police involvement in violent incidents. In particular, children of mothers who had mental health problems were more likely to develop PTSD later in life, as were children who witnessed the arrest of family members during violent incidents.  Unlike children, adolescents typically have a greater ability to externalize negative emotions.  In addition to symptoms commonly seen with childhood anxiety (e.g., sleep problems, eating disturbance, nightmares), victims within this age group may show a loss of interest in social activities, low self-concept, withdrawal or avoidance of peer relations, rebelliousness, lashing out at objects, treating pets cruelly or abusively.

     Referrals to the appropriate school personnel could be the first step in assisting your child or teen in need of support. When there is suggestion of domestic violence with a student, consider involving the school psychologist, social worker, or guidance counselor. If your child expresses a desire to talk, provide them with an opportunity to express their thoughts and feelings. In addition to talking, they may be also encouraged to write in a journal, draw, or paint.

      Most people know that obesity is often a biological issue passed down through by genetics.  If your family is affected by obesity, here are a few tips to help tackle weight problems early on in your child’s life:

       – During infancy, try breastfeeding and delay introduction of solid foods as this may help prevent obesity.

       – In early childhood, children should be given healthful, low-fat snacks and take part in vigorous physical activity every day. Their television viewing should be limited to no more than seven hours per week (which includes video games and the Internet).

       – Older children can be taught to select healthy, nutritious foods and to develop good exercise habits. Their time spent watching television and playing with computer or video games should be limited to no more than seven hours each week.

Take a look at these shocking weight facts :

1. Consumption of just 100 calories (the equivalent of 8 ounces of a soft drink) above daily requirements will typically result in a 10-pound weight gain over one year.
2. Overweight / Obesity can be caused by some drugs such as hormones, steroids, as well as psychoactive drugs like traditional antidepressants
3. Obesity is believed to be responsible for 5% of cancer cases

 What to do:

• Acknowledge the situation: “I heard that your_____ died.” Use the word “died” That will show that you are more open to talk about how the person really feels.
• Express your concern: “I’m sorry to hear that this happened to you.”
• Ask how he or she feels, and don’t assume you know how the bereaved person feels on any given day.
• I know how you feel.” One can never know how another may feel. You could, instead, ask your friend to tell you how he or she feels.
• “He’s in a better place now.” The bereaved may or may not believe this. Keep your beliefs to yourself unless asked.
• Be genuine in your communication and don’t hide your feelings: “I’m not sure what to say, but I want you to know I care.”
• Offer your support:  ”Tell me what I can do for you.”

 What NOT to do:

• Don’t force someone to publicly mourn if he or she doesn’t want to.
• Don’t give false or confusing messages, like “Grandma is sleeping now.”
• Don’t tell someone to stop crying because others might get upset.
• Don’t try to shield a child from the loss. Children pick up on much more than adults realize. Including them in the grieving process will help them adapt and heal.
• Don’t stifle your tears; By crying in front of others, you send the message that it’s okay for him or her to express feelings, too.
• Don’t turn your child into your personal confidante.  Rely on another adult or a support group instead.

If a grieving friend or family member talks about suicide, get professional help right away. IN A LIFE-THREATENING EMERGENCY, CALL 911.

“Another potential risk of social media has been dubbed ‘Facebook depression.’ When preteens and teens spend too much time on social media sites, they may begin to show classic signs of depression, such as changing sleep and eating habits, experiencing mood swings, hanging out with different friends or becoming socially isolated” says Dr. Gween of Pediatrics Now

 It is no surprise to anyone that children and teens are spending more time than ever before on the internet using social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and Chatroulette.  But just what are these outlets doing to the mental heath of our children?  In the past year, there has been several cases in which teenagers have taken their own lives due to bullying and responses by members of these social networking websites. 

What is “Facebook Depression”?

Facebook allows users to showcase their lives, from achievements to travel photos to parties. The depression creeps in when teenagers start comparing themselves to their friends.  Why can’t my family go on a vacation like his? Why is my boyfriend in pictures with other girls? How come she got a new car for her Sweet Sixteen? Experts have agreed that social media sites exacerbate envy and jealousy due to the pressures of the “my life is an open book” appeal of social networking.

What can parents do?

Parents should be actively involved in their teen’s social life, both offline and online. Encourage your teen to get off the Internet once in awhile and do activities outside the house to avoid the temptation of returning to the computer.  Get them to join clubs or encourage them to get into a sport or learn to play a musical instrument. It is important that your teen understand that there should be a balance in his or her life. It is important that parents keep an open line of communication with their teens, just as their teens enjoy a sense of openness with their friends.

        By creative a productive environment, you will be able to complete your work without distractions.  If you have a laptop, go someplace where you can’t connect to the Internet. With no Internet, you will not be distracted by social media or youtube videos. If you have left your assignments until the last minute, chances are many things will annoy you.  Don’t risk frustrating yourself even more by trying to write in an environment that doesn’t meet your needs.

        Stop using diversions as an excuse.  A common procrastination tool is, “I can’t function in a messy environment.” Thus, the assignment is procrastinated longer until other tasks are completed such as cleaning and organizing.  If, when faced with a writing project, you start piling up prerequisites for all the things you must do before you can possibly start writing, you will only create more anxiety and stress for yourself. Many people say, “I do my best work under pressure”.  There are lots of other ways to create pressure for yourself, besides waiting until the night before the paper is due to start writing it. You can set a time limit for yourself or pretend that the paper is a timed essay exam. If you do this in advance, it will be possible to complete a draft and proofread it before the assignment is actually do. 

         Try making a schedule in which you can break down your task into manageable bits.  Set a time limit for yourself.  If you determine an exact date which you should have your task completed by, it is more likely that you will adhere to that deadline.

Social and cultural reasons may contribute to a woman being more prone to anxiety and panic attacks than men. Cultural factors include the predominate ideal in society that women are expected to marry and raise children; that women are expected to bear the burdens of others and be caretakers, often to the neglect of their personal needs. Consequently, it is believed that because women are generally less assertive than men that women deal with more suppressed stress that eventually manifests itself through anxiety and/or panic.

Biological contributors, experts say, may include women undergo more drastic physical changes than men, including menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause which effect hormones and mood. Yet, the exact cause of anxiety and panic attacks is unknown,  and the specific reasons behind why women are more likely than men to experience such anxiety are also speculative.

1. Become aware of your inner voice- when a mistake is made; realize that you are only human. Separate that one events from every other positive action that you have accomplished
2. Analyze what you are telling yourself- don’t use “I never..” or “I always..”. Absolute terms are irrational and illogical. They do not reflect reality.
3. Write down your thoughts- it will increase your mental processes so you can understand what your own mind is doing in shaping your vision of the world and yourself

Major Symptoms:
Fatigue is one of the major symptoms of burnout. You feel emotionally exhausted and overwhelmed, drained and unmanageable.
Depersonalization occurs when you don’t want to engage with anyone and you lose empathy. Its hard to relate to other people and even yourself
Loss of confidence and competence is the third symptom of burnout. You feel like your life is slipping out of control.

Revival of your life:
Set boundaries. Don’t overextend yourself. Learn how to say “no” to requests on your time. If you find this difficult, remind yourself that saying “no” allows you to say “yes” to the things that you truly want to do.
Take a daily break from technology. Set a time each day when you completely disconnect. Put away your laptop, turn off your phone, and stop checking email.
Learn how to manage stress. When you’re on the road to burnout, you may feel helpless. But you have a lot more control over stress than you may think. Learning how to manage stress can help you regain your balance.

TO NAP OR NOT TO NAP?
Research does indicate that an afternoon nap can increase your mental abilities, learning and memory even better than a cup of coffee or an energy drink. After lunch is a time when the human brain is naturally at a low point and in need of rest. An afternoon nap not only helps restore alertness but also improves neurocognitive functioning to a higher level than before the nap. Sleep, especially stage 2 sleep, seems to be the time when certain types of information are integrated into the brains existing fund of knowledge, clearing the way for new information. Midday naps, particularly if they are 45 minutes or shorter consist primarily of stage 2 sleep. As executives and high tech workers have discovered, the short afternoon or “power” nap can have a dramatic effect on improving alertness and learning ability. Obtain your bosses permission when conducting your own nap experiments.

WHERE TO LIVE IF YOU HAVE AUTISM
The greater New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Cleveland, Philadelphia and Boston metropolitan areas are among the ten best places in America to live for people who have autism, according to the results of an online survey released today – the first day of Autism Awareness Month and the eve of World Autism Awareness Day. These locations have the best resources and seem to be more aware of the needs of individuals on the Autism Spectrum. Northern New Jersey, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Seattle and Milwaukee are also among the top ten listed. Among the states faring worst in the survey, in terms of the percentage of negative responses from that state, were Texas, Virginia, Tennessee, Ohio, Florida, Michigan and California.

NEW, OLD RESEARCH ON FOOD COLORING AND HYPERACTIVITY
Artificial food coloring may worsen hyperactivity in some children. This connection was reported extensively during the 1980’s and 90’s, and the research is back in the news today. The effects on behavior are due to a unique intolerance to these substances in some children and not because the coloring is inherently toxic or dangerous in any way. The colorings do not cause hyperactivity. The FDA has not released any final conclusions as of this date, so don’t panic. For now, HPS suggests limiting the following colorings for children prone to hyperactivity: Blue #1 and #2, Green #3, Red #3 and #40, Orange B, and Yellow #5 and #6. Read labels!

RULES FOR DATING
• Make sure your date is emotionally available and can express personal feelings.
• Use the rule of threes for online dating: Three emails before the first call, three calls before the first date, three dates before making any commitments, three months before determining if you are in love.
• Relationships have a direction. If you don’t know where its going, it’s not going anywhere.
• Your date should know what they want and what they are looking for in a relationship. If you ask, “What are you looking for?” there should be an answer. “I don’t really know” is not acceptable.
• Nobody is perfect, but any three “red flags” and the relationship should be over. These include bitterness, excessive talking about previous relationships, lack of commitment, excessive drinking, drug use, anger problems, etc. (hostility or abuse counts as three red flags!)
• Never go back to a previous relationship to give them a “second chance”. It probably will not work.
• The inability to express emotions openly is a defect. It will likely not improve.
• What you see is what you get. People grow, but rarely change. You need to love the person for what they are right now, not some future possible potential.
• Pay close attention to the relationship your date has with their own friends, family, parents, business associates and even with their pets. All of these should be normal and warm. The way your date treats the waitress or waiter in a restaurant is a great indication of how you will be treated!
• Significant age differences can work in relationships, but they usually do not. Find someone within seven years of your own age.
• The expression, “I love you, but I am not IN love with you” is an excuse. Don’t accept it.
• If your date wants to “see other people”, tell them to watch a baseball game. The relationship is over.
