December’s New Features

posted by Beyond Blue | 10:15am Wednesday November 28, 2007

I mentioned last week that I will be blogging about episodes of “Saving Grace.” I have two additional holiday features. For each day in December, I’ll provide a “Holiday Survival Thought,” just a fun way of reminding everyone (myself included) to not take themselves (or their families) too seriously this holiday season. And for each Monday of Advent, I will read a reflection from a spiritual master or saint, or something from scripture, as you look at my Advent wreath.

How Do You Heal Loneliness?
If I had to name the most common complaint I hear among depressives, it is that they are lonely. Just five minutes ago, I replied on a thread within Group Beyond Blue to a woman who started a thread called "Who Do I Turn To?" She wants so badly to connect with another woman--as the anchors in her li

Rewire Your Brain For Love: An Interview with Marsha Lucas, Ph.D.
In the spirit of Valentine's Day, I thought I’d feature an interview with a very cool licensed psychologist and neuropsychologist that I was lucky enough to meet in person at a book signing back in September. Marsha Lucas, Ph.D., has been practicing psychotherapy and studying the brain-behavior re

Love Deeply ...
Valentine's Day is a good time to remember all the ways we can be loving, not just to the guy/gal sitting across from you at the kitchen table, but also your boss, your mother, your boss's mother, and her mother. One of my very favorite reflections from Henri Nouwen is "Love Deeply," found in hi

Therapy Thursday: Sweat
I have decided to dedicate a post on Thursday to therapy, and offer you the many tips I have learned on the couch. They will be a good reminder for me, as well, of something small I can concentrate on. Many of them are published in my book, "The Pocket Therapist: An Emotional Survival Kit." Work

Scrupulosity: What It Is and Why It's Dangerous
If you sprinkle a hefty dose of Catholic (or Jewish) guilt unto a fragile biochemistry headed toward a severe mood disorder, you usually arrive at some kind of a religious nut. Not that there’s anything wrong with that! For I am one. I have said many places that growing up Catholic, for me, was

I will be eagerly awaiting as well. Is it going to be necessary for our speakers to work in order to share your spiritual thoughts? (mine still don’t and my holiday finances preclude thethem being replaced any time soon!

Hey, Margaret! Mine don’t work either so I’ll have a lot of catching up to do when I get to a computer that does! Then again I have something to look forward to this Christmas (for a change) Oh, WHOOPS, did I whine a bit? Yeah I’m in the financial dumpster this year too. Who is’nt? Just remember it is’nt about the gift giving…I say that to ease my sense of guilt. Then promise myself to DO something about it AFTER the Holidays. That time period seems to get a little vaguer each year. Oh well I’m going to join the procrastinators club…tommorow!
