BIBLIOTHERAPY: The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness by Jonathan Haidt
Social Psychologist, Jonathan Haidt in his book, The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness gives strong support for a global cultural shift that happened for kids born after 1996, where free-play-based childhoods were replaced by phone-based childhoods and along with it the rates of mental health symptoms spiked. “Overprotection in the real world and underprotection in the virtual world” lead to an anxious generation.

Bibliotherapy: Magnificent Sex by Kleinplatz & Ménard
Peggy J. Kleinplatz, Ph.D. and A. Dana Ménard, Ph.D. in their book, Magnificent Sex: Lessons from Extraordinary Lovers share research and insights gathered from conducting interviews with extraordinary lovers. They realized there was much research on sexual dissatisfaction and dysfunction, but little evidence on magnificent sex. Here is what they learned from their Optimal Sexual Experiences Research:
Magnificent sex, “it can be life altering.”
Brainspotting Parts of Self!
In the Brainspotting work I do, I incorporate parts work. We’ve all got lots of parts and they are all self-created to serve certain purposes. The intersection of BRAINSPOTTING and PARTS WORK creates unique opportunities for healing and harmony.

LEARN to Use Self-Brainspotting to Self-Regulate WORKSHOP!
BRAINSPOTTING is typically done with a brainspotting therapist, but SELF-SPOTTING is a simple and effective mindfulness-based practice that leads to self-regulation that can be done alone. After 10-15 minutes of self-spotting many people experience noticeable shifts.
Yoga for Wellness!
I was introduced to the practice of yoga in the Summer of 2000 by a new friend I met in a train station in Italy. She took me to my first sweaty, hot Bikram’s yoga class once we returned to Madison, WI where we were both undergrads.
10 Ways to Remain Steady in an Unsteady World
About five years ago, we were finding our way through the uncertainty, fear, stress, and grief of the Covid-19 Pandemic and The Black Lives Matter Movement with protests, riots, and social unrest. Fast forward five years from Spring 2020 to today, I am hearing from many clients and connections that they are once again feeling heightened levels of uncertainty, fear, stress, and grief due to the political and social climate in the United States. During unwelcome and trying times, how do you remain steady in the face of adversity and hardship?

The Promise of Science for Brain Health
I remember while taking AP Psychology in High School, Mr. Stumpf shared that if you lost or damaged brain cells, there was no hope for recovery or regeneration so it was very important to prevent damage or injury. Science has now disproved that teaching. Through childhood the brain develops and continues to change throughout a lifetime. There appears to be hope and the possibility of brain healing in most situations due to three processes: neuroplasticity, neurogenesis, and epigenetics.

Bibliotherapy: The Chemistry of Calm by Henry Emmons, M.D.
“The Chemistry of Calm is intended as a guide to reclaiming your resilience, to moving from a state of stress, anxiety or fear to a place of calm, balance, and equanimity.” Dr. Emmons covers in his book his resiliency approach to health and calm.
