About Me View My Posts
Bullheadedness. Bullheadedness is the leading cause of mad cow disease! Oh..... My sweetheart said that to me the other day when we were engaged in a discussion of "the best way to do something". I don't remember what something we were discussing and it's not important. We choose to find humor in our differences rather than conflict and it keeps life interesting and fun. As I thought about and laughed... 4/10/2008 10:31:15 AM

And skiers' legs get sore. What's a sore skier to do? To prevent soreness and relieve pain, try these: * Stretch before you put on all your gear and hop on a lift. * Drink plenty of Water while you ski, and the next... 4/6/2008 10:28:41 PM

by Lisa Brookes Kift, MFT
About Me View My Posts
This is one of the most painful experiences a couple can endure. Here are a few thoughts on the most helpful ways to get through this horrendous ordeal: 1) Cease the affair (this may seem obvious - but sometimes "obvious" is better off stated) 2) The partner who has been unfaithful be willing to apologize as many times as needed - as sincerely as possible as well. They need to take responsibility for... 4/3/2008 9:27:08 PM

Muscle and Joint Pain? Do you feel...Sore? Painful? Tense? Stiff? How Much Water Are You Drinking? Nutritionists have been claiming that as many as millions of Americans are living in a state of chronic dehydration. At the same time, there is no shortage of Americans in pain.

Childhood Experience and Adult Anxiety
by Lisa Brookes Kift, MFT
About Me View My Posts
Adult anxiety has many faces, manifestations and levels. The anxiety disorder I've had the most contact with in my experience as a therapist is Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and from here on when I speak of "anxiety" I will be referring to this. I work from a family of origin perspective, in that, I believe that people's emotional and/or psychological distress as adults can partially be the result... 3/10/2008 10:47:32 AM

About Me View My Posts
As a couple's therapist, I've seen a myriad of relationships styles. People who come in for counseling are clearly looking to change something they see problematic in their partnership.

Filtering through all of this, I've identified ten characteristics... 3/4/2008 8:00:00 AM

Starting treatment for menopause: Part 1 - The importance of testosterone, a human hormone
by Beth Rosenshein
About Me View My Posts
Testosterone is often referred to as a male hormone and that has always puzzled me. Since I started researching ovarian function it has always been quite clear to me that testosterone is a human hormone. It is produced by the gonads (ovary and testis) of women and men. After the gonads produce testosterone a small portion is converted to estradiol (the main estrogen of the ovary and the testis) and... 3/2/2008 10:23:55 PM
