    Show Me The Way to Be Home

    Show Me The Way to Be Home

    I just saw JAWS in IMAX over the Labor Day weekend (twice in fact!) Jaws is a classic horror film, and the first summer blockbuster when it was released in 1975.  It tells the story of a homicidal, Great White Shark, (a Carcharodon Carcharias) who terrorizes Amity Island.  For the first half of the movie,…

    You’ve Got A Friend In Me: What Is A Friend Anyway??

    You’ve Got A Friend In Me: What Is A Friend Anyway??

    The term “friend” has come up many times in my practice and in my personal life as well.  I hear it all the time, “my friend ” this and “my friend” that.  I may ask how long they have known that person, or how well they know that person (or vice versa)   So then I ask…

    How Is Your Mental Health?

    How Is Your Mental Health?

    May is National Mental Health Awareness Month. Beginning in 1949, Mental Health Awareness Month has put a spotlight on the importance of mental health and wellness.  There is such a stigma attached to mental illness or mental health in general, that over 70 years of advocacy and education have yet to overcome.  While 1 in 5…

    Anxiety, Depression, Insomnia, and Pain: The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

    Anxiety, Depression, Insomnia, and Pain: The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

    I thought this would be a good time to talk about some issues and problems that I know have affected each and every one of us at one time or another. I am willing to bet that 95% of you have had at least one of these four bad boys, Anxiety, Depression, Insomnia, and/or Pain. The other 5% of…

    Men and Depression

    Men and Depression

    While men and women both experience depression, their symptoms may seem different. Men may display more anger or aggressive behavior, expressing their depression outward. Family, friends, and even medical professionals may not see these symptoms as depressive symptoms; and let’s be honest, even if they did and told the man so, most likely he would…

    I-I, Me-Me, Mine: The Case for Being Selfish

    I-I, Me-Me, Mine: The Case for Being Selfish

    ” I Me Mine” by The Beatles was written by George Harrison.  It was said that he wrote the song as a commentary on the selfishness of bandmates John Lennon and Paul McCartney.  They were in the middle of recording songs for the Let It Be documentary film.  George felt they had better things to do than learn…

    What does it mean to be a Proud American?

    What does it mean to be a Proud American?

    I wrote this blog post in November 2020 (see below) in the middle of fighting an unknown enemy, covid-19, while divisively deciding who the next President would be. We went from cheering on the first responders to vilifying them for perpetuating this “covid hysteria”; making everybody wear masks, and socially distance ourselves. Then came the…
