Life's a Breeze. And I have some land for sale in The Bahamas.
Life is difficult. But, do I really need to tell you that? Or should I ask, "What would any of us really expect?" You know, so many in my line of work preach all things harmony and homeostasis. And not that I find anything wrong with that; I simply question how realistic it is. Not to mention, I would actually propose conflict (and its resolution) is good for us . In the spirit of...

Give Up My Most Prized Possession? No Way!
Let me share a cool story as to how I came to know and understand one of life's greatest truths. Years ago, as my ex-wife and I were putting the final touches (as if we were painting a portrait) on our divorce arrangements, I was being asked to sacrifice yet more time with, and access to, my children. At least on paper. I can't tell you how much that cut me because I just couldn't fathom why my children... (posted by Bill Chandler 2 years 92 days ago.)

REBT Grandfathered CBT. OMG!
Far and away the most commonly practiced psychotherapy for panic disorder and anxiety is cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). But I'd like to discuss its predecessor, rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT). REBT was developed in the mid-1950's by clinical psychologist, Albert Ellis, Ph.D., who many consider the grandfather of CBT. Very basically, here's REBT in model format A = Activating Event B = Belief... (posted by Bill Chandler 2 years 97 days ago.)

Patience Impatience
A friend of mine loves to eat, and his food choices have traditionally been very poor. Over the years he'd become overweight, easily fatigued, and a lot less mobile than he used to be. Six months ago he had his annual physical. And though he'd always had cholesterol problems, this time around he'd outdone himself. His physician, and wife, gave him a good talking to; and he embarked upon a plan to change his lifestyle habits. To... (posted by Bill Chandler 2 years 100 days ago.)

The Superior Colliculus. It's Not Ridiculous.
I guess when it comes to the anatomy and physiology of panic attacks and anxiety I'm kind of a geek. The stuff just fascinates me. What can I say? However, beyond the pure wonder of it all, a good portion of my interest is grounded in really wanting to comprehend that from which I've suffered most of my life. I mean, I just don't see how one can own and manage something if they don't fully understand what's... (posted by Bill Chandler 2 years 110 days ago.)

Panic Attacks, Anxiety, and D-cycloserine: Thinking Outside of the Box
"Necessity is the mother of invention." Always works for me. It seems as though it works for psychiatric research, as well. And that's a good thing because I've become frustrated and puzzled by the lack of research and treatment attention panic disorder, all of the anxiety disorders for that matter, receives. Panic, and the anxiety disorders, so often take a back seat, especially... (posted by Bill Chandler 2 years 123 days ago.)
