A Deeper Dive: How Vulnerable Can a Therapist Be?
For as long as I can remember, “Peeling off the layers to reveal the real” has been my credo. In a dream, the words “Bare Boldly,” echoed through my sleeping but ever so active brain.” When messages come through that insistently, they can’t be ignored. My inner and outer work as a hybrid therapist-journalist prepare me to take this on every day. When that happens, I question if I am too self-revealing. Last year, I penned an article for Psych Central called When A Therapist and Journalist Comes Clean About Her Self Doubt. It takes a confessional tone as I admit that the way I present isn’t always an accurate ...

Computational Psychiatry, Self-Care, and The Mind-Body Problem
Schematic example of how the “mind” (cerebral cortex) is connected to the “body” (adrenal gland) - modified from Fig. 1 (Dum et al., 2016):“Modern medicine has generally viewed the concept of‘psychosomatic’disease with suspicion. This view arose partly because no neural networks were known for the mind, conceptually associated with the cerebral cortex, to influence autonomic and endocrine systems that control internal organs. ”Psychosomatic illnesses are typically seen in pejorative terms — it ' s all in your head so it must not be real! Would a known biological mechanism lessen the stigma? For over 40 ye...

Depth Electrodes or Digital Biomarkers? The future of mood monitoring
Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) vs.Mindstrong HealthMood Monitoring via Invasive Brain Recordings or Smartphone SwipesWhich Would You Choose?That ' s not really a fair question. The ultimate goal of invasive recordings is one of direct intervention, by delivering targeted brain stimulation as a treatment. But first you have to establish a firm relationship between neural activity and mood. Well, um, smartphone swipes (the way you interact with your phone) aim to establish a firm relationship between your “digital phenotype” and your mood. And then refer you to an app for a precision intervention. Or to your therapi...

Stigmatizing Narcissists & Narcissism: Are They the Secondhand Smoke of Our Time?
The thing about smoking cigarettes is that the behavior is something we wanted to stigmatize, in order to decrease its frequency in people. At its height in the 1950s and 1960s, 2 out of every 5 people smoked in the U.S. It’s a huge health hazard, decreasing lifespan and increasing health problems in smokers. But smoking doesn’t just impact the person who smokes. Through decades’ worth of research findings, we now understand the smoking also affects the people around smokers, causing health problems and decreasing lifespans through secondhand smoke. Secondhand smoke, therefore, is also something people se...

Best of Our Blogs: December 7, 2018
I’m reading a phenomenal book by Dr. Joe Dispenza called, “Becoming Supernatural: How Common People Are Doing the Uncommon.” There are so many pearls of wisdom in it and statements full of hope for anyone suffering from physical or mental illness. So far, this is one of my favorites: “The only thing I can assure you of is this: The unknown has never let me down.” Dispenza says we often get stuck in the same routine, ways of thinking, and feelings that keep us in the past. The way to change is to open up to the unfamiliar, putting your attention on how you want to be versus what you don’t...

The holidays can be a time to look forward to and it can be a time to dread. For this in the latter category, can you find a way to carve out time for yourself? Think of it as sifting through the unnecessary stuff to find the jewels of the holidays or create your own holiday. Maybe it’s the holiday lights or cuddling up with a good book and hot cup of cocoa. Maybe it’s the time of year when you decide to volunteer. Maybe it’s about scheduling self-care sessions that involve things like meditating, having coffee with a friend or seeking therapy. The holidays can be stressful. But it can also be fun, joyful...

After Halloween, the holiday madness begins. Every year I tell myself I won’t get swept up in the busy-ness, but somehow by New Year’s Eve I’m sick and burnt out. It’s hard not to plan, predict and expect certain outcomes. It’s difficult not bracing yourself for impact instead of softening to the possibility of the unknown. But I’m intent to not get wrapped up in the temptation of perfection this year by finding the beauty in rainy days or at least appreciate my inability to know the end result. You can prepare yourself with these posts on various personality types to watch out for and...
