Yoga therapy for Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome  E-mail

I recently came upon an article from the Yoga Journal about using yoga to treat Post traumatic stress syndrome. Healing Life's Traumas. Years ago I had the opportunity to experience Bessel Van der Kolk talk about his trauma research at the Jewish Board of Family and Children's Services (JBFCS).  At the time, in the early nineties, I was working in the Bronx with children and families struggling with abuse and domestic violence.  It was a very difficult time for me, as I was exposed to so much of other peoples' trauma, and I hadn't really dealt enough with my own difficult past. I was vicariously traumatized from doing this work.  Fortunately I found yoga for myself, and ultimately decided to integrate this work into my private practice with some of my clients.

The Power of Your Beliefs!  E-mail

Recent research at North Carolina State University on senior citizens and memory has shown that if they are told or believe that they will perform poorly on memory related tasks, they are more likely to do so. People with higher education are particularly vulnerable to suggestions that their memory will get worse with age.  I believe that if you have a belief about yourself, whatever it is, you are more likely to manifest it in your life.  If you feel like you will never make enough money, then you won't.  If you believe that you are not attractive, then you are less likely to attract others.  Check out this article about aging and memory and let me know what you think about it  "Think Memory Worsens With Age? Then Yours Probably Will".
 
People with Friends Live Longer!  E-mail

What does it say about family life that your friends are more instrumental to your longevity than your family? In the New York Times article Well: What Are Friends For? A Longer Life , Tara Parker-Pope points to research suggesting that people with supportive social networks live longer and even get less colds.   Survival from breast cancer is associated with having strong social connections, but not with having a spouse.  Getting a cold?  Throw out the pills and call a friend.

 
Yoga therapy goes mainstream  E-mail

Finally mainstream media is catching up to what some of us have been doing for years.  It's thrilling for me to see that psychiatrists are taking their patients to the yoga mat for healing!  It's amazing to me that it has taken so long for people to finally acknowledge that the mind and the body are not separate entities to be compartmentalized and treated as such.  It feels good to have the work that I do be publicly acknowledged and validated. Check out this article written in Time Magazine by Elana B. Elias Kornfeld "Psychotherapy goes from couch to Yoga Mat"  Call or email me if you have any questions about how it works or how I might be able to help you.
