Three Essential Elements of the Psychotherapy Process
By: Pamela Castelli, LCSW    Tuesday, Jan 10, 2012
How does psychotherapy help us to heal our unresolved issues from the past and uncover our desire and courage to move forward in our relationships? There are three elements involved in the therapeutic relationship which foster our ability to do this. First, the therapy session itself can be a place of security where our powerful and, sometimes, overwhelming feelings can be ‘contained’. Getting in touch with our feelings can create a fear that we will lose control and/or a particular feeling, once allowed to be released, will continue to flow indefinitely. Boundaries create a ...Read More
PCOS and Diet
By: Valerie McElman    Monday, Jun 21, 2010
Topic: Healthy Weight and Weight Loss
PCOS is a metabolic disorder that affects 5 – 10% of all women. It is the number one cause of infertility and if left untreated, can increase risk of endometrial cancer. In addition, women with PCOS are at a greater risk for heart disease and diabetes. Until recently, diet was not thought of as an important adjunct in treatment. However, since the fairly recent discovery regarding the role insulin resistance plays many experts now believe that diet should be a part of the treatment plan. Although further research is needed, it is believed that diet can help reduce insulin resistance, ...Read More
What is Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome? An Introduction
By: Valerie McElman    Wednesday, Jun 02, 2010
Introduction to Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome What is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)? PCOS occurs when a woman doesn't ovulate, which causes a disruption in the normal, cyclical interrelationship among her hormones, brain and ovaries. Normally, the hypothalamus, a regulatory centre in the brain, monitors the hormone output of the ovaries and synchronizes the normal menstrual cycle. When monthly bleeding ends, the hypothalamus secretes gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which stimulates the pituitary gland in the brain to release follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone ...Read More

By: Barbara Schiffman CHt.    Thursday, Feb 04, 2010
Topic: Anxiety
Every health and lifestyle magazine contains articles claiming stress is bad for us. They list dozens of ways to relieve stress, from exercise to eating healthy foods.

7 Reasons for a Woman to Hire a Coach of Her Own
By: Victoria FittsMilgrim, PCC    Thursday, Feb 04, 2010
7 Reasons for a Woman to Hire a Coach of Her Own The coaching profession today is exploding…. Some coaches are certified and some aren’t. Some specialize in a specific area of life, i.e. business, relationships, money, spirituality, and some just take a general overview of your whole life. There have been articles; television shows that talk of life make-overs; Oprah has her own stable of coaches (some of whom appear on the cover the National Inquirer!) How can you find out more about what’s possible with a coach and why it might be important to you living your best life? ...Read More
Why are Primary Relationships so Important?
By: Sarah Nakatsuka    Friday, Oct 30, 2009
Love. What stirs inside you when you see that word? For such a small word, it holds unparalleled impact! People sing about it, pray for it, fight wars over it, long for it, and, when it is missing, weep unabashedly for it. Is there anything more important than love? Yet, despite their best intentions, couples often 'grow apart', 'fall out of love' or feel like they 'are not on the same page'. Other couples describe their relationship as passion-less and void of excitement. Sometimes relationships feel like a constant battle on an emotional level as well as a pragmatic one too - disputes over ...Read More

By: Karen Carnabucci, MSS, LCSW, TEP    Sunday, Oct 04, 2009
Our recent networking event with a diverse group of alternative health professionals representing eight different specialties at Lake House Helath & Learning Center was not only a terrific way to meet other practitioners, it also was a great way to share practice-building tips. Everyone had a marketing tip -- or two or three -- to share. Now I'm sharing with you: Use both sides of your business card -- the front for the basic contact information and the back to offer a coupon, free gift, special offer or even a silly joke. Collaborate with other professionals to create new projects, ...Read More

By: Virginia Ede    Saturday, Jul 25, 2009
THE BEAUTY THAT IS BOWEN THERAPY By Virginia Ede What is Bowen Therapy to the ordinary person? Simply said, it is a holistic treatment of the mind, emotions and physical body of any one individual who wishes to quickly relieve pain and stress and thereby return to good health and inner harmony. While it may not be for everyone, in general it definitely remains wonderfully effective in its non-invasive approach to injury and pain. Both for human and animal life! However, to simply describe what Bowen is to the uninitiated remains a very difficult task indeed. How do you describe colour to a ...Read More
