Last week one of my patients sent me an article on the causes of depression and the unexpected solutions. This information came from a new book called Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression – and the Unexpected Solutions: The book was written by Johann Hari after she spent 3 years of researching and interviewing […]
Ellen and I were laying around in bed this morning engaging in our favorite activity – philosophic inquiry. Not having to get up early is one of the great things about weekends. Ellen will pose various questions and I will use muscle testing the unconscious mind to pull up interesting answers. After about an hour […]
Happiness – everyone wants it, but what is it? How do you get it? Excitement is easy. Anyone can name things that would excite him or her – a new car, that sharp outfit, winning the lottery, all kinds of stuff. Our imaginations literally swarm with images of things that we believe will make us […]

Remember those little cartoon angles and devils that would sit on people’s shoulders whispering into their ears? The devil would sit on one side and urge the person to do all sorts of things that were “bad” and likely to get them into trouble. While the angel would sit on the other shoulder and warn […]
