studio, but by my self-limiting beliefs that I had “tried and failed” at yoga before, that I was too old, that I was out of shape, that I wasn’t flexible enough. Blah, blah, blah.As an entrepreneur, I had the flexibility (no pun intended) to set my own schedule. Yet, over time, my days slowly evolved into “more work, less play,” with the line often blurring between .

why didn’t I think of this before? That happens today.Of those trips I mentioned above, my friend John Urhahn has been with me and helped me plan all but two of them. Broadly speaking, I concocted the ideas and he figured out how to make them happen. Of course he should be my partner. I send him a text.

In my article “5 Things That Can Make Sex Better (Or at Least More Tolerable) For Sexual Assault Survivors,” I mention boundaries as being critical to making sexual intimacy feel safer for sexual assault survivors. But how do we convey those boundaries? And more importantly, how do we even know what those boundaries are?

Many people think that just because they are good and honest, everyone is like them. Sadly, there are people who don’t have goodness in their hearts. The world is full of liars and manipulators. People who use others to get what they want. And oftentimes, these people are narcissistic sociopaths.

We have all been there, looking at something and wishing we had it. The girl, the car, the money, the family, the lifestyle…but then we tell ourselves “Yeah, but that’s not me”. The people who get that are cut from a different cloth and we keep telling ourselves that until it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

March 21, 2022Prompting students and teaching them self-management strategies reduce disruptive behaviors and increase classroom engagement in adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD or ADD) more effectively than do allowing frequent breaks or fidgets, according to a small study published in the Journal of Attention Disorders.1The study found that redirecting students with ADHD back to a task (prompting) and teaching them strategies to independently regulate their behavior (self-management) decreased disruptive behaviors and task initiation time and increased task engagement more than implementing popular classroom strategies such as breaks or use of sensory items or fidgets.According to the study’s authors, prompting, taking breaks, and sensory proprioception are widespread accommodations used for students with ADHD. The first two often appear as part of Individualized Education Plans (IEPs).

I thought I was getting healthier but little did I know this was the birth of Cruella, who was slowly getting stronger and making me weaker. I began treatment for my eating disorder at 15 after one of my teachers at school suspected that I had an eating disorder and contacted my mother. I was already on a waiting list for CAMHS to receive treatment for anxiety after experiencing childhood traumas. While waiting for support, my anxiety got worse, with my panic attacks becoming more frequent.

With the latest Netflix binge show hitting screens, there is not one person who hasn’t heard the name Anna Delvey of late. Anna Delvey first came to my attention years ago when I was scrolling through a news site and came across her story.

Today is Mardi Gras — a day when (among other things) some Catholics take every opportunity possible to eat delicious food before observing Ash Wednesday the following day. This seems pretty innocuous and a lot of fun, too — who wouldn’t want to enjoy all of their favorite foods before a far-less-tasty day of religious observance? But as a Catholic woman with an eating disorder, I personally find the “food narrative” I grew up with on Mardi Gras problematic — and I may not be alone.

I went to Redbox today to rent the usual DVDs: one for the kids, an action movie for my husband, and at the last minute, I decided to pick one out for me. I wanted to see “The Shack” for a while so I thought, why not. I have to sit through all those action movies with my husband, it’s my turn.

Many people who live with eating disorders end up seeking treatment at for-profit eating disorder treatment centers. Though everyone’s treatment experiences look different, eating disorder treatment centers typically strive to help clients process their feelings surrounding their eating disorders and heal their relationships with food. Although some treatment centers successfully help clients reach full recovery, there are still a variety of areas in which treatment centers as a whole can improve. For National Eating Disorders Awareness Week, I asked current and former eating disorder treatment clients from all walks of life what eating treatment centers do well and how they can improve. Here’s what they had to say.

I started my eating disorder recovery when I was 16 years old. I spent the next nine years navigating the ups and downs that come with that. In treatment I was introduced to the concept of intuitive eating and was discouraged from avoiding eating things “unless I was allergic to them.”

"My mood suddenly spiked and I booked to go to Singapore last minute despite having no money."Towards Christmas my mood dropped again and this lasted until April. I didn’t sit all of my exams and failed the ones I did sit. Instead of feeling low, my mood suddenly spiked and I booked to go to Singapore last minute and stay at the famous marine Bay Sands hotel despite having no money.

About two years ago, I noticed an increase in discussions concerning the topic of “trauma.” Trauma therapy has been around for years, but it felt like suddenly, this word was appearing everywhere. I checked Google trends, and it was no surprise the word “trauma,” in regards to people and society doubled from 2016 and continues to increase. If the media was saying everyone had endured some sort of trauma from their childhood, then why is it significant to the field of mental health?

My battle with an eating disorder began when I was 20 years old and in nursing school. Really, I had had disordered eating from a very young age, but it didn’t become a diagnosable problem until I was 20. When I was very young, around 7 years old, my mother put me on diets, introduced obsessive thinking towards weight, calories, exercise, and constantly shamed me for my eating habits and made me feel as though the body I had wasn’t good enough.

These science-based exercises explore fundamental aspects of positive psychology, including strengths, values, and self-compassion, and will give you the tools to enhance the wellbeing of your clients, students, or employees.Jean Piaget’s theory of cognitive development remains among the most complete and influential theories describing how the human mind shapes and develops through the process of learning.At the University of Geneva in the 1960s, Piaget employed elegant experimental techniques and keen observational insight to analyze the moving pieces of cognitive development in children (Scott & Cogburn, 2021).A biologist by training, Piaget took a pragmatic and mechanistic approach to understanding how the advanced architecture of human cognition develops, looking past the intuitive conception of the mind as something apparently complex and unapproachable to see simple and ordered principles of organization lying underneath (Scott & Cogburn, 2021).At the core of Piaget’s theory are stages of development (Malik & Marwaha, 2021; Scott & Cogburn, 2021), a series of overall states of increasing cognitive sophistication defined principally by how the developing human ‘knows’ (i.e., understands) the world.Learning is both the cognitive activity that occurs during these stages and the process of moving between stages.

February 17, 2022People with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD or ADD) or autism spectrum disorder (ASD) face higher mortality risks than does the general population, according to a new meta-analysis published in the journal JAMA Pediatrics.1 The study found that death in childhood or midlife from natural or unnatural causes was twice as likely for people with ADHD or autism, compared to the general population.The systematic review and meta-analysis examined 27 studies published between 1988 and 2021, including data on more than 642,000 participants from North America and Europe. When causes of death were examined, ADHD and ASD were associated with higher mortality due to unnatural causes such as injury, poisoning, or suicide.

Eating disorders can take on many different appearances. And it is important to know it isn’t always being bulimic or anorexic. Sometimes it is having an unhealthy relationship with food, being fearful of eating around others, being scared of certain food choices and people’s judgment on what you eat and how much you eat. It’s also your family continually saying something every time you have a plate in your hand. And how do I know this? Because I have had disordered eating for 30 years. And I recently learned that disordered eating runs in my family…..and that made me have all the more rage.

I have been on a journey this past year as it relates to my body image and weight struggles. I learned that I did not need to diet anymore, I can be healthy at my size, I can move my body joyfully, and that I was acceptable just the way I am.

Addiction makes people less likely to get the vitamins necessary for everyday life. Even before considering the toll that it can take on a body, addicts are less likely to eat a nutritious diet because they’re spending much of their time, energy, and money on procuring their addictive substance.

After I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, I started reading a lot of books on the subject, mostly memoirs by fellow people with bipolar disorder. I was trying to learn more about the illness and perhaps feel less alone in it, and I did to an extent, but all the most well-known bipolar memoirs are by white people. Which is fine, I can relate to people who aren’t of the same ethnicity as me, frankly I find it weird that apparently a lot of people can’t… But even though I recognize myself in a lot of white bipolar memoirs, I will concede it is extra nice to read about the experiences of other people of color with bipolar and get to relate to them in more than one way.

I remember being in elementary school and hearing I could do anything and be anyone I wanted to be if I put my mind to it. I think a lot of us often hear something similar when we’re children. Is it true, though? Can we do anything with just sheer will if we try hard enough? Although I think it’s something that can be inspiring, I’m not sure I have seen that idea play out in my own life, and I think others may have also experienced the loss of a dream. When you become an adult, there may be choices and circumstances out of your control that can alter your ability to go after your dreams you may have had when you were younger.
