Today’s show is Happiness is a Choice- Bring Wonderment.
Hermann Hess philosopher asked what makes life livable – our willingness to- move through the world… wonder smitten by reality.
Rachel Carson said the greatest gift a parent could give a child is a sense of wonder so indestructible that it would last throughout life, as an unfailing antidote against the boredom and disenchantments of later years. The sterile preoccupations with things that are artificial, the alienation from the sources of our strengths.

Mother Earth has given me techniques to nurture the healers, since they give so much to others. Mother Earth wants all healers to “up their game” to help her with the expansion of your and her Torus Energy Field while feeling nurtured as we experience it in the intimate group workshop meant to expand your energy field to hold your energetic boundaries strong.
Anna-Victoria a healer in the workshop shared: “I love when a teacher knows how to combine psychology with spirituality and Joanne was masterful in doing just that during the Mother Earth workshop. I learned easy, practical techniques that I can use in my daily life. And we actually got to practice doing them individually and as a group, which is my preferred way of learning. The Torus Energy Clearing helped me to become more aware of my own auric boundary. I believe with practice; I will also become better at protecting this boundary from becoming punctured by external circumstances. The Emotional Tension Release technique gave me insight into what has been holding me back from taking next steps in my business, and it gave me inspiration on what to do about it from a deeper place than just "changing my thinking." I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone who is looking for new tools to use on their road towards lasting change in their lives.”

Today’s show is on how to understand the meaning of Emotions that Can Improve the Quality of your Life and Your Immune Health
Emotions are meant to be a gage to show you how aligned you are with your true pupose and goals. It seems most people try to avoid emotions or feel they are a nuisance and push them away as having no value. Our brain has 2 sides; emotional and rational. In our society it seems we see our intellect as more important than the emotional or creative side. The Genius of the world used both sides.

Today we talk about how to create a quantum intention to go to your cellar level with a combination of emotions and visualization.
A quantum intention is stepping into creating a pathway that propels you into this situation with purpose and intention with practice.
I feel I can create and watch my quantum intention come true before my eyes. You can create some fun and curiosity with this creation, because you can create a new version of situations that have been difficult
You can use curiosity in your intention, without judgment, as you go into this occasion with family, not fear, you're going to go in with love, openness, because you've set this intention, and it will be sent out from you.
Serra walks us thru how to create a quantum experience in a difficult situation. See it feel it, visualize the ideal version.
Connect your intention and drop into your emotions and into your heart.
Next you will go into the worried version that you might fear and marry the perfect version into the realistic world version and pull in the emotion of your ideal version.
See harsh words rolling off you and practice being in the positive and realistic version. This will help shape the happy version that will need to be practiced since we have practice the defensive pattern for years.

Today we use a scientifically proven breathing technique called the 4 and 8 Breathing technique that will calm your thoughts to be able to get in touch with you knowing.
Your brain is a processor of pervious experiences and information it collects. It creates stories from your interruption of experiences to give you probabilities to project forward, some are what your family said and the cautions they launch at you, or from teachers or clergy, what you should do. Which most of it is fear based.
Your mind gets programmed with family stories, conversations, religious concepts, social pressures to conform. Your mind is a compilation, of the conditioning your family and environment gave you. It can only think in 3 dimensional of logic and analyzing to figure out where is danger to protect you.
To get to your true soul level purpose you have to go beyond the mind and into of your heart and figure out ways to circumvent the minds constant, fears patterns and pressures to conform to stay safe.
The only way to expand and grow to new heights in your life you must go deep within to build the awareness.

#5 I am invisible or powerless
# 6 I can’t trust myself or others and others don’t trust me
#7 I don’t know how—Or I don’t have the capacity to do this or learn this. I can’t do it.
Bruce Lee – “Our lack of self-awareness, makes us look to others to tell us who we are. We are what other people say we are.
We know ourselves chiefly by hearsay.
The 5 Core Fears by Dr. Todd Pressman
- Abandonment- a fear of loss of love, rejection or the fear of not getting approval
- Loss of Identity- fear the way others see you, fear I will never really know who I really am or my authentic self. Or myself measuring up in relation to others.
- Fear of not finding your inner Meaning of Life. My inner and outer worth represented by money or lack of it. How do others see my worth or my contribution? Is it enough?
- Fear of not finding my purpose- The way I express who I am, to feel I add meaning. Do I leave the place better or worse off or in a better state. What is my lot in life?
- Fear of Death including dying, but also fearing a disease or suffering and pain.
Think of them in relation to Maslow Hierarchy of need as your needs to ascend to your self-actualization at the top to find your true purpose to find success.
Use these skills that will build a permanent inner structure that you can continue the journey to success with a blueprint to follow as you follow along with this Life Mastery courses 5 steps to success.

Darrell sees obstacles as
- Avoiding the paperwork and getting ready to leave the service takes more time than they think it will, especially if you have been injured.
- Preparing based on your circle of people to support them in their inner circle.
- If they feel they have been away from society, on a ship or not been in the public eye, they may have more insecurities that come out and feel exposed as they transition
- Or if in leadership, my feel too confident because they have been a leader that may not transfer over to a job. Speak to your mentor.
- Asking what your skills are and what do you want to do.
- Talk to people about creating resume.
Preparing so they don’t get paralyzed or anxious.
Darrell helps members to look at this transition early and with his help

Witch-Wise Woman-Healer
Today we have a returning guest Krystal Holm to have a conversation about the new version of witches and witchcraft for this Halloween. We did a podcast together in # 63 Declutter your life on iTunes and at anxietySimplified.net.
Krystal is a Feng Shui designer and declutter expert that teaches clients how to use Feng Shui to create peace & prosperity in their homes and workspace.
She is the founder of Designed Life Studio and the creator of The Designed Life Method℠ that she developed as her own proprietary method to help others understand how to keep their space open and free.
We discussed how the word witch has been used negatively, and we explored its more original meanings that is really about women’s using intuition and female power of tuning in to their inner knowing that can be called magic.
Then in history it was turned against some women to tone down their power of creation and how they used their energy to manifest things in their life like it was magic that the church felt was “evil”.
Krystal shared her understanding of growing up in her stepmother’s household where being a witch had a positive and empowering meaning of how to manifest what you want to create things in her life.

I am welcoming back Eva from a previous podcast # 31 called “What do you do when doctors say they don’t know, stages of healing?”
Eva Vennari, NC Nutritional Counselor, and Certified Wellness Coach that I am working with personally and have had unbelievable results from hot flashes, stomach irritation to other gastric issues, rashes, and blood sugar issues that are really turning around using her REVEAL program.
Eva is a formerly sick corporate ladder climber turned holistic practitioner that works virtually with high performers as their secret weapon to stay in the game without burnout.
She says Some of the things that you think you knew about health you will want to re-think to refine your own version of wellness.
She believes in the saying of “Living on purpose with awareness". We revisits what was considered normal and redefine your own level of wellness.
We redefine aging. The level of Inflammation that we achieve by not living on purpose and living more by default ages us. We live by default feeling pressures from people who put expectations on us adding to our stress level that becomes normal.
True stress has to deal with the internal communication within your body. It is the response to your life that can create Inflammation. Inflammation can be passed by generation that can start from the beginning at birth.
For Imbalance of metabolism, even the best products your body may not be able to handle, even if the commercials on TV say so. You need to know what your body needs.
Eva does Hair analysis as your body’s trash report. There is no doorman for everything that comes into your body.
On this hair test she is able to see how your metabolism is working, how you are creating new cells and the quality of those new cells, your hormones if they are being absorb and utilize as well as the toxin absorption and these are all stories where we can get our specificity.
Healing reactions is revealing the older layer of metabolism. The body is now able to correct those imbalances. The body can only heal something when it has the energy it needs to do that job.
There are 4 stages to a complete healing:
She described the 4 stages of healing:
- The body will only deal with the immediate needs, it must Build up the energy needed first. Survival is always first.
- Healing process starts with needing to break down what is needed to be healed.
- Clear the way of the toxins, parasites, viruses, in layers.
- Rebuilding, allowing the body’s natural process of healing to happen with time and patience.
Eva becomes the coach and support system as symptoms arise through the process.
She has scientific methods to analyze the mineral content in your hair with each stage of the healing process to reassess to clarify your body’s needs.
She sees that the clash between the head and the heart is part of the incoherence that causes the diseases without recognizing that we are a whole unit that needs to work in conjunction with each part to create the synergy of healing and optimal health

Today we have a special guest Dr. Lindsey Brooks a sex therapist.
Dr. Lindsey Brooks is a sex therapist turned sex educator. She has her Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology, is a certified sex therapist, and has been providing therapy since 2005.
She is thrilled to now be bringing her knowledge beyond the therapy room with her Sexual Empowerment School where she teaches women how to build their sexual self-knowledge, develop pleasure-positive mindsets, and learn sexual communication skills through her online workshops and resources. She is currently running an 8-week course for women.
She shares how developing a pleasure-positive mindset can be an integral part of mental wellness for women. Getting more on their sexuality and letting go of negative sex mindset. What sexual empowerment really means to women and getting people sex education.
She talks about how we pick up Sexual Scripts from society, tv and social media, especially for young couples and to avoid misinformation. She talks about scripts that can be relearned to reuse them. Letting go of sexual myths and letting go of negative sex mindset and into sexual empowerment.
In her 8-week workshop, Dr. Lindsey helps to rewrite society or religious scripts for more of a pleasure centered mindset. Pleasure center sexuality or pleasure center parts of the body.
We Discussed how hard to separate emotions and sexuality. This is where hurt feelings of shame and anxiety can be there if you are not on the same emotional page when having sex. Normalizing behaviors and emotions involved and reframing shame and focus on what that person enjoys to feel better.
Shame messages from religions message of impurity or that women are supposed to be the gate keeper of sex, either the good girl that should be the fun be a sexual girl having sex by the 3rd date. Or the exact opposite must be a virgin until marriage or you are a whore. It does not need to be a good or bad. And reframe as your own values to guide you.
What feels right, Pleasure is a normal experience of a human. Women deserve pleasure in sex and for it to be mutual and reciprocated, not one-sided.
Not fear or shame just exploring experiences and see who they are now, it is okay and not a bad thing without pressures within your own way. What am I interested to explore within your comfort zone?
Break it down when to say NO: Talk first about it with your partner to be reciprocal between the couples wanted experience to find pleasure is important: Ask
- This is what I want to explore and want to experience
- What I will do or try
- What I will not do or try.
Dr. Lindsey has a free offering of a quiz to help find clarity

Wayne was raised in a home with physical and psychological abuse during the five marriages of his mother. Even experienced a false adoption process revealed as an adult.
He couldn’t keep a job because of mental health issue and his own rebellion of his responsibilities as an adult and his anger that he couldn’t make it in this economy.
His big turnaround came after 14 yrs. with changes in Lifestyle and new mental habits choosing to not feel shame or blame anyone anymore. He found accepting where he is now and giving forgiveness to himself and his family instead of blaming them and stopped comparing himself to others. Taking responsibility for his own future shifted his mindset.
He got real hunger for skills and knowledge to know how to deal with his situations.
He found Tony Robbins Personal Power cassette tapes at Goodwill and it changed his life. He listened to these Tony Robbins tapes to change his thinking and his goal for self-respect.
The bottom-line message is that an individual has to have a mindset shift to turn their life around with a new lifestyle with new mental habits.
The same elements we all use to succeed and for personal development offered by most reputable life coaches, public speakers, and therapists that homeless people need to learn to change their life. The people that succeed are determined with an attitude about changing their circumstances.

5 things Feel More Confident
Joanne Shares that there are things that we can do to feel more confident whether dating, at work or in life in general. We all want more confidence.
While everybody knows what it feels like to lack confidence, here’s the thing most people don’t realize about how confidence works:
It is subtle habits in our lives that chip away at our self-confidence and add to our insecurities.
But, if you can learn to identify and eliminate these confidence-killing habits, you’ll find that you’re naturally more confident than you realize, it builds confidence.
1. Trust your Gut- But you must act even with fear.
Confidence is built: You have to practice to get better at something.
One way to look at these examples is that if you had felt more confident, you would have been able to act and get over it.
Mel Robbins technique 5 second rule- is to only give yourself 5 seconds to act or your fear will take over.
Don’t over think it- act.
Feeling confident comes from acting on what you want despite feeling afraid.
2. People pleasing-But sometimes fear of conflict leads to many smaller — though not necessarily less significant — sacrifices:
Whatever the details of your specific situation, here’s what you need to know about being a people pleaser.
When you habitually prioritize other people’s wants and needs before your own, you train your mind to devalue itself.
Think about it: if you never stand up for yourself, who is going to? You will never feel confident unless you start today! Only say yes when you mean it and If it is good for you and the other person and you will create a win win that always helps you to walk away full.
- Worrying about the future
Our capacity to think about the future and imagine hypothetical scenarios is a wonderful skill and tool. It can get us prepared and ready for the task. It is a productive way to look at the worry to get prepared and then let it go. If the worry continues then you will need to set boundaries with yourself when it is no longer productive or helpful
- Worry is unproductive problem-solving.
If you spend time thinking about something that either A) Isn’t really a problem, or B) Isn’t a problem you can do anything about, you’re likely to end up worrying. Which means you’re getting all of the side effects of negative thinking like stress, anxiety, or panic with none of the benefits of genuine problem-solving.
Worry gives you the illusion of certainty. But in the end, all it does is fragilize you.
It makes you feel like you’re at least doing something. But it’s all a mirage. And in the end, all that worry and anxiety just chip away at your confidence.
Better to face up to your fear of uncertainty with confidence than live in denial about it.
One study in Science Direct revealed that 91.4% of worry predictions did not come true. The most common percentage of untrue worries per person was 100%.
5. Ruminating on the past
Just like worry gives the illusion of control over the future, rumination gives us a sense of false control over mistakes and losses in the past. Unfortunately, it can also lead to self-criticism, depression, and low self-esteem.
When you invest all your attention into yesterday, you have nothing left to invest into today. It is like trying to drive looking through the rear-view mirror.
Accept that you are helpless to change the past and you will have an easier time letting go of your tendency to dwell on the past. And when you do that, your confidence is sure to rise.

Summary of today Podcast:
- The World Is a Lot Less Screwed up Than We Think It Is
- Long-term trends look good.
- 5 Classes of worries and ways to handle them
Today I want to share 10 things that are getting better in our world in an article by Concoda and How our chronic fears fall into five fairly distinct classifications: A. Gilkey a pastor in 1930.
- Worries about disasters which, as later events proved, never happened. About 40% of my anxieties.
- Worries about decisions I had made in the past, decisions about which I could now of course do nothing. About 30% of my anxieties.
- Worries about possible sickness and a possible nervous breakdown, neither of which materialized. About 12% of my worries.
- Worries about my children and my friends, worries arising from the fact I forgot these people have an ordinary amount of common sense. About 10% of my worries.
- Worries that have a real foundation. Possibly 8% of the total.
Gilkey prescribes: Limit worrying to the fifth group. This simple act will eliminate 92% of his fears. It will leave him free from worry 92% of the time.
Listen for any of these fear as hear the 10 things that are getting better in the world and how if you can keep focused and say to yourself, I will only worry about this issue, IF IT ACTUALLY is happening than using up valuable energy with 99% of worries never come true.
Sounds simple it is the hard part is changing the worry habit. If you want help read my upcoming book how to stop worry in 5 steps.
Everyone is guilty of spreading negative vibes at some point — Think about social media, your attention is usually fixed on the drama of the day. Or in the mass media matrix, the politics, and the social injustices for one moment, though it’s hard to believe, we have made decent progress as a species over recent history.
Here are the 10 Ten Global Trends: Every Smart Person Should Ronald Bailey and Marian Tupy destroy the pessimistic narrative that the world is heading toward an apocalypse by laying out ten simple, yet powerful, facts showing humanity has progressed over the last few centuries.
Here is good news, start to direct your focus to what you want more of in the world, instead of the “car wrecks of messaging” vying for your attention.
- The global economy has increased by 100x.
Compared to, the 1900s, with the help of freer markets and rule of law, saw GDP growth rates average at least 3%. Tupy calculates GDP will increase to a whopping $1.1 quadrillion by 2100.
- Global poverty has imploded.
In today’s world of rampant consumer capitalism, it’s hard to believe that only two centuries ago 84% of the global population lived in poverty, earning almost $1.90 per day. But as The Great Enrichment spread gradually across the world, we managed to cut extreme poverty in half.
Now, the global poverty rate stands at 9.3%, and if this keeps falling at today’s pace, it will drop to roughly 5% by 2030. The United Nations also set the goal of abolishing extreme poverty for everyone, everywhere by the same year.
- We’re not running out of fuel.
Despite what some people claim, we’re not running low on any resource. In fact, the Simon Abundance Index reveals that almost every commodity increases in volume and availability the more we demand them.
Humanity has yet to run out of a single commodity, and we’re not even close.
- Famine has almost disappeared.
In 1961, the daily supply of calories stood at ~2,100, but now, this has risen to ~3,000. “The world’s poorest region enjoys access to food.
Today, famines only exist in war torn countries and those experiencing droughts, but that could change in the future as relief efforts continue to improve.
- Democracy is smashing autocracy.
Following the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989, democracy has spread rapidly across the world, beating the communist and fascist regimes that had arisen since the 1920s.
Though now it’s still close, the world has more democracies than autocracies.
Using a scale from -10 to 10, where -10 equals tyranny and 10 equals a free society.
From 1989 to 2017, the number of “fully-fledged democracies”, a score of 7 or above, rose by 13%, while “fully-fledged autocracies”, a score of -7 or less, decreased from 39% to 11%.
6.We have more trees now, not less.
Contrary to popular belief, mother nature is beating deforestation.
In September 2018, a University of Maryland study found that the global tree canopy — the visible portion of the plant— has not declined but increased by 2.24 million square kilometers, an area bigger than Alaska and Montana’s landmass combined.
7.The world is much safer.
As technology has advanced rapidly in the modern age, dying from a natural disaster is now 99% less likely according to the International Disaster Database.
Since satellites give scientists a comprehensive overview of developing weather conditions, meteorologists have Doppler radar to measure hurricanes, seismologists use data to detect future landslide risk, and volcanologists listen to volcanoes to predict eruptions, most governments can act in time.
Interstate wars have almost disappeared.
In 2017,the RAND Corporation reported that, apart from a short period between 2014–2015, armed conflict worldwide has decreased dramatically.
Now, if we could just get the U.S. and China war machines to leave the Middle East and Africa, we may get closer to world peace.
- We’ve yet to become urban.
“No country has grown to middle income without industrializing and urbanizing. None has grown to high income without vibrant cities,” says the World Bank, illustrating how the rise of cities globally has helped improve human prosperity.
While you’ll find most innovation, growth, and money in cities, this actually helps the planet. It’s hard to fathom how city dwellers produce a smaller carbon footprint than people living in rural areas, but it’s true.
And as the other 3 billion people who still live in rural areas keep moving to the city, this will continue to improve.
- There’s more to go around.
You’ve probably heard that a decreasing population is bad for the world — and especially bad for your stocks, shares, and real estate. But there are many upsides too.
As Tupy and Marion state, “falling child mortality rates, increased urbanization, rising incomes, and the spread of political and economic freedom” correlate with families having fewer children, which also creates more reproductive freedom.
Wolfgang Lutz, a demographer at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, predicts the global population will peak at 9.8 billion in 2080 and will have dropped to 9.5 billion by 2100. This one is for the grandchildren.
- It’s still scr*wed though.
And it always will be. That’s how the world works. As new injustices and atrocities emerge every day, we’ll never be content or satisfied.
That’s the way we think. Our minds make it happen. Negativity and availability bias, psychological fallacy means we love to consume the bad over the good. It results from a cognitive shortcut to enable quick decisions and judgments.
Maybe we’re too privileged. Maybe we have it so great that when most of our problems disappear, we tend to create or seek out new ones.
And sometimes, we focus so much on the negatives that we forget we have it better than ever.
We can’t dispute that the ten trends Tupy and Bailey have outlined proving we’ve progressed as a species, but we’ll never let go of how we believe the world is descending into chaos.
We know it’s not all doom and gloom. We know the world is a lot less sc*rwed than we want to believe it is, and, deep down, this will keep us going in the back of our minds; for now, at least.
It is a choice to consume news and then evaluate it to see how it can serve you. Instead of create fear. We are creatures of drama, but for today, choose to see the world as ½ full?

Joanne Williams, as a 30 years Mental Health Professional after Looking into studies, if components of Marijuana could help with Anxiety. She Does not support marijuana use or use of substances in general, since they are covering up symptoms, instead of resolving them.
I recommend finding ways to resolve your anxiety and get skills or strategies to reduce it without substances for a lifetime of better coping.
As a 30-year veteran therapist. I do get asked all the time, my views or opinions on this question.
I have taken seminars on this subject and the data came back that there is no clear evidence that Marijuana helps anxiety itself.
I think what is clear that is can make anxiety worse, since it is a hallucinogen, and can make you have see things, that are not “normal” or go on “trip” that can be very scary or create paranoia.
The other issues, I see is that brain development continues until age 25 in young adults, and any substance that affects the brain, can be detrimental.
This article goes into more details: Does marijuana help calm anxiety? Weighing the benefits and risks — and whether it’s right for you? By Madeline Kennedy- There is evidence that the CBD compound in marijuana may help treat some anxiety disorders, though research is limited.
Though many people report smoking weed to treat their anxiety, the drug could actually make anxiety symptoms worse for some people.
Research is scarce about how marijuana can affect anxiety symptoms like irritability, muscle tension, and excessive worrying. For some people, marijuana may even increase anxiety.
But a 2015 review of 40 preliminary studies on CBD found that this chemical may play a key role. The researchers said they found encouraging, preliminary results that concentrated doses of CBD oil, when taken regularly, could be an effective treatment for a host of anxiety disorders including:
- Generalized anxiety disorder
- Panic disorder
- Social anxiety disorder
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
Even if the restrictions on marijuana were lifted, and researchers could use it in their studies, there’s another problem. Both anxiety disorders and marijuana sensations are individualized. So, marijuana may help one person with their anxiety but not another. Someone with generalized anxiety disorder symptoms like difficulty sleeping may have a better reaction to marijuana than someone with panic disorder who fears losing control.
Even worse, using marijuana could enhance symptoms of anxiety for some people, says James Giordano, PhD, a professor of neurology and biochemistry at Georgetown University Medical Center.
“Some are overly sensitive to the ‘activating’ effects of THC, and this can induce anxiety, rather than reduce or relieve it,” Giordano says.
Latest research: A 2020 study found that higher-potency cannabis may increase the risk of anxiety associated with marijuana use.

Join us for Our next podcast: Part 2 Empowering women to creating America’s Success
I am sharing a special REPORT of how we need women back in the workforce, if we want the US to get back to the #1 Economic power in the world.
Hear the evidence of the difference that women are making in the world as leaders. And how you as a women can find your strengths to show your value to get back into the work force because we need you right now.
I am going to ask you a Question: Do you know why more than ½ of the 20 million who left the workforce during covid are women?
It doesn’t take me too long to figure it out. If you are a woman in the work place, how have you been treated during the worse pandemic of our time? Do you have childcare to go back to work or juggling it all, during the worst pandemic in our lifetime?
Thank and appreciated the sacrifices the women in your life have made, especially during covid being the medical worker and cashier the front line of covid defense. They are making your life better.
When you get really hurt. Who do you call out for ….Mommy! Who do you run to? It not a corporation or the government.
We are still in a global economic and health crisis and we need women back to make it all better, because the data I am going to share with you shows why.
According to the 2020 Women in the Workplace study, co-authored by McKinsey and LeanIn.org, 1 in 4 women are now considering leaving the workplace or downshifting their careers. Many as two million women could leave corporate America.
Stressors are showing a massive increase in caregiving responsibilities at home and at work may jeopardize women’s ability to stay in the workforce and progress. According to the survey, 40% of mothers (compared to 27% of fathers) have added 3 or more additional hours of caregiving a DAY to their schedule. That is 15 or more hours a week, the equivalent of a considerable part-time job or one of the most stress jobs there is.
We need more women back into jobs, as our superpower for our own interests in global policies and to curb this global economic crisis.
This affects everyone male and female if we don’t get this right, and support the care economy that is being proposed by the current administration and I want to share why this and other legislations that is critical and why you should care and expect more from our government to improve our lives, because Corp America is TOOoo slow to do it.
And most important for all of our futures is for women to show value in the workplace as they come back to work. You cannot shy away. Stand up for all that you do and your right to have better pay and standards that include taking care of your family AND work.
This goes so much deeper than I realized as I wrestling with my own success as a stretch myself
I asked to find and now have a mentor to help me get where I want to go as a successful woman beyond what I have done with counseling. Raven Glover, The Talk Show Maven, and her own media Agency network and agency Raven International.com to promote me. She has been awarded by President Obama the Life Time Achievement Award and been on the cover of Founder Magazine. I am going for it, as we all need help to get to new goals, to offer what I do best.
I want women in the workplace to expect more.
I want to inspire women today who are feeling defeated.
I believe we have a social fabric issue in the US. Our values and where we put our resources which shows our value, needs to change. Families are where our values need to be focused. That is where I see women are putting their time and energy and why they may be leaving corporate America.
Many Women are making an impact on the world of Finance.
Some of the most successful political leaders in the world right now, are women.
In the business world several studies have shown that companies run by women, though still in the minority usually outperform those led by men. Studies have found that firms with a higher proportion of women in the top roles generated better returns on shareholders equity and had stronger balance sheets.
And women have been brought to rescue companies in trouble like General Motors handed Mary Barra the keys and Jan Frazier recently became chief executive of Citicorp.
In a Harvard study: woman scored higher than men on traits such as motivating, communicating and fostering teamwork. Female bosses did even better on tough attributes like decision making and initiative taking. The same reason some experts say is that men tend to view their careers, vertically as single-minded climbs to the top. Women by contrast, take a broader horizontal approach, building the relationship outside the office and taking career detours into unrelated fields. In fact, those sidestep trips tend to help women become nimble, and creative decision makers.
Overall, there are women running finance ministries in 16 countries, and 14 of the world central banks.
A study by the American Psychological Association showed that US states with female governors had fewer COVID-19 deaths than those led by men. And this
A new Harvard review study reported that woman got significantly better rater ratings in 360 degree assessments of 60,000 leaders, between March and June 2020 Women account for less than 2% of the CEOs of financial institutions and less than 20% of executive board members, but the institution's they do run show greater financial resiliency and stability.
My opinion of why women are more effective, is because of the same use as the great geniuses of the world like Da Vinci or Michelangelo, who were able to use both hemispheres of their brains, the creative, emotional and the logical right brain. Women have been shown to be able to multitask or have information transferred between the right and left hemisphere fluidly.
So I hope you take this information to heart and can see its importance of supporting the women in your life, seeing that they have value in everything that they are doing for your family, and appreciate it, and we see them for what they have done to get your family or us through this pandemic, And let's see what they can do beyond that. Support your women today.

Today’s podcast is special. It is my 50th Podcast that I want to combine some of the components of other podcasts that can truly change your life, if you choose to implement some new practices.
This podcast is for those who want to achieve a new perspective, to create a new Practice in moments of time to start to understanding how to control your mind, our thoughts and our emotions.
We will include a Vagus nerve breathing technique that will automatically calm you or can use to calm a panic attack, and a mindfulness mediation to pull it all together.
As Americans, we seem to accept that stress is a necessary part of life. But, it doesn’t need to or need to affect your health, if we can open up to ways of other cultures to draw from them to improve our way of life .
We can keep the busy lifestyles but add mindfulness as we do it. We can have it both ways with improved health and vitality. The summary of today is:
- The fundamentals and foundations of mindfulness, the attitudes of mindfulness practice, and the history of mindfulness and how it emerged as a powerful force in our modern health care.
- 6 Specific techniques for practicing mindfulness in all hectic life activities, including breathing, walking, eating, exercising, listening, and dancing.
- And exercises and strategies for integrating mindfulness practice across the spectrum explored, especially with conditions like anxiety, trauma-related disorders, depression, and unresolved grief.
In this podcast listeners can participate and learn the basics of mindfulness and meditation, consider its applications for enhancing quality of life.
Mindfulness is an ancient meditation the practice of paying attention to your present moment experience, whether it be a sight, a sound, a taste, a smell, a sensation in the body, or mental activity includes both emotions and thoughts noticing life, absent of judgment, that can be practiced for a few moments or for a few minutes sitting in a doctor's office or on a park bench, standing in line or in a practice you can develop sitting for 15 minutes each day.
THICH NAHT HANH is a Zen Buddhist author of THE MIRACLE OF MINDFULNESS, 92 yo teacher, and often referred to as the father of mindfulness in the West, he states: “Mindfulness is the miracle by which we masters restore ourselves”.
In Western medical practice, mindfulness is described as a psychologic state, a practice of mindfulness meditation, and a mode of awareness.
Other authors who focused on mindfulness: Ram Dass: Be Here Now teaching of "be here now"
In Jon Kabot-Zinn's seminal work Wherever You Go, There You Are, he defines mindfulness as "paying attention in a particular way, on purpose, in the presence of the moment, and non-judgmentally" as if your life depended on it."
There are SEVEN ATTITUDES OF MINDFULNESS- a Frameable copy of the seven Attitude of Mindfulness as a gift or Podcast 49.
So lets put this all together in a meditation using these mindfulness skills.
In podcast # 45 I explained Vagus Breathing as miracle way to stimulate the Vagus nerve in a 4 and 8 breathing that sends a calming chemical into your system for panic attacks or general calming.
Create a space in your life for mindfulness practice. I suggest 15 min. find a place in your environment where you can create nice ambience, have a candle or a jewel or something special that make you love being there. Have your comfortable chair, that when you sit in it is makes you feel special. Once you establish this space it will draw you into a faster state of peace, just by being there.
Remember to Practice the Skills shared today to actually live the new outcome for the benefits you will recieve.
This is by no means a replacement for therapy of any medical attention if you need it. Always reach out and take care of yourself or if you are feeling like you want to hurt yourself, there is always someone standing by at 1800-273-8255 or call 911.

Anxiety Simplified and Joanne Williams are celebrating 1 year anniversary doing podcasts every week. I am offering a frameable print of the 7 Attitudes of Mindfulness for your desk to remind you of living mindfulness qualities.
These 7 attitudes can be life changing.
The 7 Attitudes of Mindfulness according to Kabat-Zinn
- Being Non-Judgmental- "Just noticing" SIT WITH IT
- Beginner's Mind- Approach each new task with an open mind.
- Non-Striving-Focus on the process, not just the outcome. "Life is about the journey, not the destination."
- Acceptance-Pathway to peace, and "it is what it is."
- Letting go- Releasing one's "grip" on a situation. Letting go generally results in a freeing response.
- Patience- With ourselves and others. Patience teaches us how to wait with grace. Love yourself the way you are.
- Attitude of Trust in the Process- "Life is about the journey, not the destination," Believe in a Higher Self or Source. It will happen when it is Supposed to happen
Start this practice today on a walk today.
Think about how "being in the moment" where there is no fear of sadness this can be practiced with each activity practice mindfulness in activities of daily living?
MINDFUL WALKING
Instructions
- Think about looking toward the horizon during the walk instead of down at your feet.
- Consider the art of breaking this walk down into slow motion, as if you are experiencing it for the first time (i.e., beginner's mind).
- Standing tall, let your heel connect with the earth and allow the front part of your foot to point towards the sky.
- Very slowly step down, shifting the weight from your heel to the ball of the foot.
- Shift the weight from the ball to the toes.
- Deliberately repeat this same motion on the other foot.
- Continue taking this walk in this slow, deliberate fashion, observing each sensation with a new awareness. Let your walk truly be an exercise in mindful meditation.
This is by no means a replacement for therapy of any medical attention if you need it. Always reach out and take care of yourself or if you are feeling like you want to hurt yourself, there is always someone standing by at 1800-273-8255 or call 911.

Joanne Williams, LCSW discusses Anxiety affects on relationships. Don’t we all know the worrier in relationships and how they say they will do something and then change their mind at the last minute, after the tickets are bought? Anxiety can get between not only partners, but friends or couples and seem to control the entire experience. It can be frustrating for everyone to the point where you don’t even want to do things with that couple anymore.
Do you know the couple that the one person in it is constantly worried that everything will not go as planned and they freak out in the restaurant at the waiter, because the meal was cold or the wine spilled? Or worse you made vacation plans 6 months ago and It is all planned and the couple pulls out at the last moment, because the women refuses to fly, for fear the plane will crash. You are left feeling like you are holding the bag for the expenses and feel now you have to scramble to find another couple which adds added stress on you?
This situation is being affected by anxiety, even when you may think it is just rude and irresponsible behaviors. The fear is represented as a fear of dying IF SHE flys, worrying about things that haven’t happened or of the unknown, irritability can be a symptom where the person may fly off the handle at the least little thing, like wine spilling at the restaurant. Or needing ridge rules to not feel out of control.
Do you experience irritability when you are stressed, or does your partner or boss. How does that effect your day or your work or your relationships? Not well as I have observed as a marriage counselor of 30 years.
We will discuss 10 ways to handle anxiety situations if that is a feature in your relationship.
Anxiety can stress any kind of Relationship, whether it is your marriage, coworkers, or family members. Some of the ways to help lower anxieties effect on relationships are making sure that you are doing everything you can to keep your own strengths, passions, values and lifestyle consistent. It can make you a happier person and less likely to be as affected by your partners, irritability or controlling ways.
It will make it easier for you to stick to the relationship rules that you agreed on without emotions and stick to the facts.
You also need to communicate your own anxieties to your loved ones. If you are afraid about the next meeting or event you should tell your loved ones. It is much easier for them to understand why you may need to leave early or easier to make a plan together.
Giving your loved ones information about your needs in a particular situation helps them to be more understanding and supportive. There are many ways to help lessen the anxiety you or they feel, including using medications and exercise.
It is recommended to use anxiety calming behaviors regularly to build a practice you can rely on. Sometimes routines and feeling prepared are some of the simplest ways that can be a huge relief, then be sure to share them, with a friend that you do things with to share the support.
Anxiety symptoms may vary from person to person, and there are symptoms that may occur in different situations.
If you have anxiety in your relationship at just the thought of having a conversation with them or your partner's family, avoidance or fear because you don’t know what to say something, can blow up into a major issue, if not honestly discussed you can feel vulnerable. Work as a team to figure it out, instead of avoiding. Clarity always clears the air and can lessen anxiety when you feel understood and supported.
The symptoms of an anxiety or a panic attacks can occur when you allow your anxiety to fester and not be addressed. It can include symptoms of shaking, sweating, heart palpitations, muscle tension, fear and concern. A panic attack can appear like a medical emergency or totally out of proportion to an observer and to the person having the panic attack, it can feel like they are going to die. So, if you or your partner have panic attacks, it is a big red sign that internally, you are not handling stress or situations well and then the anxiety is having a chance to build up, instead of learning ways to intervene before they blow up into a panic attack that then you fear they may occur and start a loop of anxiety that is harder to stop.
It is advised to consult with a professional therapist if you're experiencing more than these, like agitation, nightmares or hyperactivity, these can be symptoms of overwhelm, from a deeper unresolved issue of a trauma. These symptoms can be tamed with learn skills to handle the anxiety before they blow up into a panic attack.
10 keys to helping Relationships with anxiety that is a major factor
-
Do not try to live your life without a support. Find a good therapist, good friend or work mates or a partner in your life to reassure you and will help calm you, if you are the anxious one. Don’t blame yourself for feeling insecure, truly inner self confidence is something that is built within and it was meant to come from the outside first, by a primary supportive person. If you didn’t receive it from your family, you may need to find it from a professional until you can build those inner skills.
-
Make sure you have conversations with your partner that are from your adult self, not your wounded child. Your adult self is more able to be more grounded in facts and less emotional. Being emotional is fine to show your concern or vulnerability to get to the heart of the matter, but if it impedes a problem-solving conversation, if is not helpful. Learn to know the difference with kindness to yourself.
-
Your partners needs to be informed about what you are experiencing or when your anxiety, is heighten to work out a plan for it. It is always good to ask your partner if this is a good time to discuss what you are feeling with them, instead of just throwing this at them unless they are willing and able to discuss it with you at that time. or schedule time with their therapist. If building skills is needed; then learning first yourself and then to practice them together before an event or a non anxiety producing situation as part of a good communication plan that can produce understanding and support.
-
Have couples therapy sessions as scheduled to work out boundaries and rules that you both agree on and can follow to lower stress about the unknowns. This is important because you cannot do it on your own, you have already proven that. You need help to work together and be honest with yourself about what you need as you face your fears.
It is recommended to see a therapist that you trust, but the therapist is only the coach you are the players on the field, it is your responsibility to make the recommended changes and report back to your therapist what worked or want didn’t work, to make the change to the next play until it works for you. You are a team member, treat each other like you want to succeed in your game of life.
5. Find some simple relaxation activities that you can do together, either by playing a game or by taking a walk in the park. You should combine it with something that you like to do together, like watching a movie or enjoying a meal, to create happy secure times, so when the harder situations come you both can work together. Check out the Vagus Breathing podcast # 45 for a very simple 4 and 8 breathing pattern that can calm immediately that calms the Vagus Nerve.
6. Be honest with your partner and tell them what you are feeling. For example, if you are having some doubts about a situation, tell your partner so he or she can give you reassurance or the clarity you need to make a better decision. This is the # one thing anyone with anxiety is wanting, reassurance and to know it will be ok and a good way to start is with getting clarity about how to resolve the issue or make an agreed upon plan.
7. Let your partner know ahead of time, about something that you are planning, pressure or short notice to get ready will add more pressure on them that will increase their short fuse, irritability and anxiety.
Let your partner know if you are having some doubts about the plan, before hand, so that they can help you with preparations or what is bugging them, or you about it, so that it can be worked out, so you can let it go to enjoy the occasion.
- Do not expect you partner to make you happy or to feel calmer, that is your responsibility, not theirs.
-
Let your partner know, if there are changes you want to make to the plan that would lower your anxiety.
-
Be prepared to make mistakes! It is all about trial and error. You need to acknowledge and accept that some things will not go as planned, be flexible and change your mindset if it is ridged, to look at it like an adventure or a challenge. Not the end of the world if it doesn’t work out perfectly or exactly as planned.
In therapy with couples, Once I hear blaming, resentment and anger, I know this couple has waited too long to get help.
Don’t wait, ask for help, ask for what you need to be happy to create a happy relationship and along the way you will build skills that you can use in other situations to create more happiness around you and your loved ones.
This is by no means a replacement for therapy of any medical attention if you need it. Always reach out and take care of yourself or if you are feeling like you want to hurt yourself, there is always someone standing by at 1800-273-8255 or call 911. Remember to Share the Love.

Joanne Williams explains from a therapist perspective some of the most common obstacles and remedies for healthy relationships.
Todays podcast is part 1 or 2 Part 1 about 11 keys to creating healthy happy relationships at home and work.
Part 2 or next week’s podcast will be about how anxiety can be an obstacle in relationships and 10 keys to creating and keeping a health relationship.
Why are relationships so hard?
Is your relationship like the Taylors in Home Improvement where everything works out and everyone laughs and loves and takes care of each other’s needs and live happily ever after or like the TV show of ‘Sheldon’ the spin off from the Big Bang theory, with eccentricities all over the place and having to accommodate what you might think are whackco ideas because anxiety controls another part of your partners life and it affects your relationship .
Maybe things changed since you married or after having children or since Covid. And if you are looking for answers, I will bring you some answers.
If your work with a boss that blames everyone except himself and doesn’t take any responsibility to right the ship without creating systems that we all can understand and use as a team to play by the same rules.? All of the situations can be helped using the 11 keys to creating a great relationship.
Does it seem like Anxiety tends to follow you wherever you go?
It does, we tend to seek out familiar or what we know and understand from our families or upbringing. So you may already have more skills than you think and know and understand friends or partners or bosses with anxiety, better than you thought.
Our early childhood experiences shape our later relationships, romantic and otherwise.
As infants, we develop an "attachment style" that reflects how we relate to our early caregiver(s), reflected in a "secure", "anxious "anxious avoidant" or "anxious ambivalent" (either "resistant" or "passive") style.
Attachment anxiety can produce specific behaviors in the course of developing a romantic relationship: seeking closeness, seeking comfort and support ("safe haven"), seeking security to be able to explore the world. Do you recognize your style or your partners, needy, insecure, maybe controlling with ridge rules, all these are from anxiety.
But we tend to be drawn to a partner with similar issues, or family backgrounds in the beginning, in the “love is blind time phase” it is the similarities, the familiar comfort
Does this ring in bells think back? And now it is 2 years into the relationship you have moved in together or have children and are married. Oh no! what do I do.
I think most people in relationships live a life of quiet desperation. Because they never learned what to do or how to have a healthy relationship.
I repeated what I learned from my parents’ relationship, marrying my junior high sweetheart, who was an alcoholic Maine fisherman and I was desperate to get out and I didn’t know how. But, I figured it out and did.
I had to spend my own money to pay for therapy for years, to get enough emotional skills, by building inner self securities that I never received from my family to get out and not make the same mistake again in my next relationship.
If this is you, don’t blame yourself, this is all part of a grander scheme to have a healthier life for the next generation, if you are willing to look at ways to make the needed changes for yours and your children’s sake.
But, why are relationships so hard. There are no rules books to play by and nature has a bit of trickery in it too.
When You fall in love with someone, or in lust, as my husband likes to calls it, and you think it will always be this way, you only see rose petals, candles and hear the soft music playing in your head and the fantasized movie set of the fabulous wedding, perfect house and beautiful children. But, then, the record scratches and you wake up. No one told you how hard this was going to be, to make this happy picture happen, you may have just thought it just happens and live happily ever after without knowing how to do it.. Then discontent and disillusionment sets in. Is this a nasty trick?
Nature actually does trick us to fall in love, with a chemical endorphin, the same chemical that allows moms to bond with a baby, or when we see a puppy with those big eyes, it trips this chemical Oxytocin, a warm melty feeling of euphoria.
Then after about 18 months, it wears off and you see things differently. It is like you wake up from a wonderful dream and reality sets in. And you actually see each other’s flaws that were never an issue before. Love is Blind when Oxytocin is involved. It is like we are drugged for a while, long enough to make commitments or marriage arrangements, and some people, when they wake up feel disoriented or tricked. And The blaming can start. You See your partners flaws for the first time. You think Why didn’t I see this before?
Many times a couple will marry, with traditional vows and then realize that they haven’t discussed what each other actual want; about personal choices, like child rearing, of dividing up of chores around the house or financial responsibilities.
Many couple ASSUME, that the other person knows the way it should be, the way “ I like things”, because their mother or father did it that way, they assume everyone understands that is way it “should” be. Expecting things to be done the way that your parents did it, is usually a kiss of death.
You need help to change entrenched habits that you may not even see, until your partners points them out in any unsupportive way and you never learned how to fight fair and use words to express what it is you need and the downward spiral starts.
Without clear communication to clarify expectations, couples can slowly descend into arguments, blaming and assuming. None are very effective tools. And nowhere does it spell out about making sure each person gets their needs met first.
WHAT do you mean by making sure you are getting your needs met first?
How can anyone at home or at work be happy if they aren’t getting their needs met. How can you continually give to another if your needs aren’t met first? Like the flight attendants says, put your oxygen mask on first before you help someone else. Since if you don’t put yourself first, you would die, without oxygen. Same in a marriage.
This is one of the most misunderstood concepts I see working with couples as their therapist. Make sure your needs are met first, by yourself, not by the other person, before trying to please someone else. This will start a win win situation for both. Or make sure that there is a “2 way street” of give and take so no one feels taken for granted or taken advantage of or not heard.
And it is what I see as the #1 issue in relationship failure. Thinking you are to give to EVERYONE else first. As mothers especially. Or that it is somehow your responsibility to make sure everyone else is happy. You cannot make anyone happy or sad. It is up to them. And them alone.
And if you are with someone who expects you to make them happy. This is a no-win situation because at some point that person will get angry and resentful or shut down and passive aggressive acting out will start. Like affairs, avoidance, or shutting down.
Don’t give up, get help, read a relationship book, go to counseling, alone if your partner doesn’t want to. One person in the relationship getting happy, can shift the dynamics.
Or You could rework your unspoken contracts to make sure that you both agree that you are each responsibility for your own happiness. And roles in the relationship and the other deal breakers before it is too late.
Breaking your unwritten agreements.
Plenty of couples draw up pre-nuptial agreements but very few sign off (officially) on the things that are deal-breakers for them, such as cheating, untreated addictions, using joint funds without discussion.
It doesn’t matter what your agreements are, as long as you are both clear about, and okay with, what it means. For example, who will do the main parenting job and who takes which part the responsibilities for it or is it expected to be shared 50/50?
Here are 11 things you can do starting today to change your relationship to communicate better and build back the trust in each other, if you practice it.
- Decide that you want this relationship to work. Instead of talking about how it won’t work.
- Be so happy when your spouse calls or texts you. And When you or they walk through the door, be soooo happy to see them. This one thing will rock their world.
- Treat each other like a million-dollar Stratovarius 100 year old violin. Cherished, special, no one like it. You adore each other and act that way to each other. I know, it won’t happen 100% of the time, How about 25% of the time, that would make an impact.
- Communicate the way you want to be communicated with. Low tone. No emotion, facts only of what you need to get your need met. Don’t let it emotions build up. If you or they do. Let them stomp off. Make a rule that you must say to the other first. I will be back and we will work this out and name the time. (Must be in the same day) I suggest within a few hours, once you cool down.
- Never believe that your mate would EVER EVER INTENTIONALLY do or say anything to hurt your or say something bad about you. Choose to not believe it.
- Treat each interaction like a deposit in the bank of love or as a withdrawal, according to the other person. You want you love balance to grow and be more than your withdrawals. When you take a hit you balance with stay over -0- Make sure you continually make deposits.
- Create win wins interacts every chance you can and every situations. A win win is when you both feel you have won something and feel satisfied and heard. https://esapros.com Once you met your needs first, you have more to give to the other person and you feel a win already and can give to the other to create a win win for both.
8.Crave out a sacred time for the two of you to be together, even if it is coffee on the porch, no kids or distractions. Just the two of you. This gives you reconnect time and time to focus on what you feel in love with in the first place.
- Always always always say what you appreciate about your partner at least 3 times per day, for cooking, cleaning, taking out the garbage, or taking the kids to school. And FEEL IT and MEAN it. This is transformational.
- Have Patience and see your partner for the sacred son or daughter of source that they are. See them like the angels see us. Perfect the way we are. Unconditionally. No conditions of when we love them, no matter what they do. Whether they please us of not. They are with you for just the right reason. You just need to find it.
- Understand that there is some higher reason you are together. I believe that you made a contract in heaven to come down with a group of souls and the one that drive you the craziest are probably the ones you wanted to learn the greatest lessons from, for your advancement as an enlightened being and can learn the greatest lessons from, if we stop blaming them and appreciate what they have to give us.
Learn how to get your needs met. Don’t’ wait until the anger and resent are seeping out, get counseling, get a book, go to a seminar or retreat and learn how to have a happy relationship, to have a happy life and the most important thing of all is to teach your children how to have solid happy relationships.
Focus on the good of your partner and what we love about each other, and we work together in our counseling sessions.
Cherish each other and appreciate each other everyday, reconstituted your contracts too figure how to negotiate to help each other get their needs met.
Don’t blame or complain, always go back to appreciating your partner or what you fell in love with to focus on, instead of the flaws and faults.
I broke the mold of abuse and poor relationships in my family with 2 successful happily (as Possible) married adult children raising 4 amazing healthy grandchildren. I now get to observe and see the fruits of my emotional labor to change my families’ dynamics of poor relationship skills.
You can create happy relationship for a lifetime, nothing is ever perfect or as you think it “should be” with learning to accept and have patience and never blame or assume that it is anyone’s responsibility for your own happiness you can do it.
Reach out if you need counseling, this last year has been brutal on some relationships. Grow from the pressure instead of having it weigh you down.

In this episode Joanne Williams, LCSW discusses the Vagus nerve and how to use to it to lower BP, heart rate, depression, anxiety, PTSD and other stress responses. And dozens of other medical issues.
Summary of Todays show: 7 ways to increase your Vagus nerve activity Go from fight-or-flight into rest-and-digest within minutes told by scientists
We will do an actual demonstration of how to activate this critical nerve to help you calm yourself automatically.
This is the most important Podcast I have ever done because I think it is THE answer to stress and anxiety.
I have been studying the Vagus nerve for almost a year. Once I heard about its possible calming effects on anxiety, PTSD and depression, I was hooked to find out more.
I shared a clients almost magical results.
“The mysterious nerve network that quiets pain and stress — and may defeat disease.” This is about activating a complicated system of a network of nerves that connects the brain to the heart, the gut, the immune system, and many of the organs. That system is known collectively as the vagus nerve.
These nerve networks act as lines of communication between the brain and the body’s many systems and organs. Some of the cranial nerves interpret sensory information collected by the skin, eyes, or tongue. Others control muscles or communicate with glands.
Experts have linked its activity to symptom changes in people with migraine headaches, inflammatory bowel disease, depression, epilepsy, arthritis. The more science learns about the nerve, the more it seems like a better understanding of the vagus nerve function could unlock new doors to treating all manner of human suffering.
These are some of the medical conditions relation to the Vagus nerve: from an article How to go from fight-or-flight into rest-and-digest within minutes, as told by scientists in another study by Alan Trapulionis
- We know that the Vagus nerve cools down the inflammatory responses
- We know that the vagus nerve helps strengthen our memory
- We know that the vagus nerve controls our heart rate
-
We know that the vagus nerve releases the ‘chill out’ hormone
-
Vagus nerve can help with Vasovagal syncope
-
Better blood sugar regulation
- Decreased risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease
- Generally lower blood pressure
- Better digestion due to proper production of digestive enzymes
- Fewer migraines
- Less depression
- Less anxiety (they naturally deal with stress better)
Pick almost any common medical condition that’s made worse by stress or inflammation — everything from arthritis to inflammatory bowel disease — and there’s research showing that vagus nerve stimulation can help treat it or relieve its symptoms.
While some aspects of vagal activity, it’s clear that the nerve is the governor of the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps control the body’s relaxation responses.
In simple terms, heightened vagal activity counteracts the stress response.
Silberstein says that heightened vagal activity slows heart rate and also switches off inflammation, in part by triggering the release of immune system calming chemicals. Acetylcholine a calming hormone.
The Vagus nerve may actually be what they call “the missing link” to treating chronic inflammation that can cause a variety of other issues— like high blood pressure, migraines, digestive issues and any inflammatory related things like arthritis etc.—all without medication!
Apart from being able to relax faster after stress, people with a high vagal tone have overall better functioning internal systems including:
- Humming-
- Speaking, Singing and laughter.
- Wash your face with cold water
- Yoga
- Meditation
- Increase Good Gut Bacteria
- Breathing deeply using your diaphragm
For all its complexity, the vagus nerve seems to have a relatively simple role: to calm us down.
Otto Loewi, a Nobel prize winner, first discovered the “chill hormone” acetylcholine during a medical experiment.
In 2018, two researchers from the Netherlands have found that slow-breathing techniques with longer exhalations stimulate the vagus nerve. “Longer exhalations” means that your exhalations are longer than your inhalations ad this allow the chill hormone to be released.
In a set of inhales though the nose to the count of 4 and exhales out through the mouth to the count of 8 -4 times as one set. One study I read said that doing this 1 set 3x per days or 25 sets in 8-9 days can actually get the Vagus nerve to continue to secrete the calming chemical automatically, but why would you stop a great habit and feel calmed on demand.
Practice this 4 and 8 breathing to help it calm you.

The summary of today show is a very timely subject of how to cope with the struggles of isolation in a the times of the Pandemic.
Interview with my guest Nicole Cimmarusti who is a college student at UC Davis in California studying Psychology. She interviews Joanne on how Covid 19 has impacted people in general and client with Emotional Support Animals (ESAs) and Psychiatric Service Dogs (PSD).
Nicole started off by sharing why she wants to do her paper on emotional support animals and how they can help with the feelings of Isolation through the pandemic and ways to cope better.
We discussed working with ESAs and PSDs and how it can help with anxiety to fly. Joanne works with clients who need an Emotional Support Animals (ESA) or a Psychiatric Service Dog. (PSD) and the difference between them.
ESAs need to help with a daily functioning, like sleep, concentration or socializing and the law is now only for housing and it is under the FHA.
The law for PSD is under the Americas with Disabilities Act (ADA) and they can go anywhere with the person. The dog needs to be “trained” to do a task to help them with their psychological diagnosis.
Suggestions to help with isolations for building daily habits to not let drama take your focus off your goals and to focus forward on solutions, instead of focusing on problems.
How to get a Psychiatric Service Dog, and how to get a Emotional Support Animal. Find a dog at a shelter that matches your energy level and emotional needs to calm or comfort you or helps by noticing your anxiety is rising that come over and calms your anxiety or depression. Dogs can help with isolation during the pandemics.
Connecting with others is really important for dealing with isolation, reach out in other in any way that will.
Suicides have increased because of isolation call the hot line 1800-273-8255. Reach out to a professional. There is a current Shadow Pandemic with mental health issues rising.
Campus resources for counseling. But less access because of demand. Interns are not allowed to do in-person sessions because of Covid.
Some of the interview questions she asked and we explored in the podcast.
- How has the pandemic affected the need for emotional support animals?
- What’s the difference between an ESA and PSD and who qualifies?
- How has the pandemic affected your business of certifying with emotional support animals?
- More personally, how have you been coping with the isolation of the pandemic and what would you recommend for people struggling?
Nicole and Joanne described the affect of isolation and losses from the Pandemic.

Joanne Williams discusses How lack of sleep can affect your health and 15 ways to Improve your sleep and 3 ways to help you sleep better, even with anxiety interferes with you good sleep.
Sleep is a necessity and yet we seem to treat it like not getting enough sleep will come without consequences. The research will challenge you on this, sleep is necessary for good health.
We will share15 ways to make sleep better, and how do deal with ruminating thoughts that go around and around in your head at night, that interfere with good sleep.
Sleep deprivation is when you don’t get the sleep your body and mind needs, and it is It’s estimated to affect around 1/3 of American adults, have a problem that has only worsened in recent years.
Lack of sleep directly affects how we think and feel. While the short-term impacts are more noticeable, chronic sleep deprivation can heighten long-term risks of physical and mental health problems.
10 reasons why you want to figure out how to get better sleep-
- Sleepiness Causes Accidents. ...
- Sleep Loss Dumbs You Down. ...
- Sleep Deprivation Can Lead to Serious Health Problems. ...
- Lack of Sleep Kills Sex Drive. ...
- Sleepiness can be one symptom of Depression. ...
- Lack of Sleep Ages Your Skin. ...
- Sleepiness Makes You Forgetful. ...
- Losing Sleep Can Make You Gain Weight.
The effects of sleep deprivation and sleep deficiency can be serious and far-reaching.
Acute sleep deprivation or short term- raises the risk of unintentional errors and accidents. Drowsy driving, which involves slowed reaction time and the risk of microsleeps, can be life-threatening.
60% of adult drivers reported driving while drowsy in the past year. Survey data from the CDC indicated that one in every 25 adults had fallen asleep behind the wheel in the past month. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2017 drowsy driving led to at least 91,000 crashes, resulting in roughly 50,000 injuries and 800 deaths.
People who are sleep deprived are more likely to struggle in school and work settings or to experience mood changes that may affect personal relationships.
Chronic sleep deprivation- long term, can contribute to a wide range of health problems. Sleep plays a fundamental role in the effective functioning of nearly all systems of the body, so a persistent lack of sleep creates significant risks to physical and mental health:
- Cardiovascular disease: Sleep deficiency and cardiovascular problems including high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.
- Diabetes: Insufficient sleep appears to affect the body’s ability to regulate blood sugar.
- Obesity: Research has found that people tend to consume more calories and carbohydrates when they don’t get enough sleep.
- Immunodeficiency: Sleep deficiency has been shown to lead to worsened immune function, including a poorer response to vaccines.
- Hormonal abnormalities: Sleep helps the body properly produce and regulate levels of various hormones.
- Pain: Sleep-deprived people are feeling that their pain is getting worse. Pain may cause further sleep interruptions, creating a negative cycle of worsening pain and sleep.
- Mental health disorders: Sleep and mental health are closely intertwined, and poor sleep has strong associations with conditions like depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder.
Given these diverse and important impacts of sleep deprivation, studies have found insufficient sleep to be tied with a greater overall risk of death as well as a lower quality of life.
On a society-wide level, the impacts of sleep deprivation are enormous. sleep deprivation has been calculated to incur hundreds of billions in added healthcare costs as well as over $400B in productivity losses per year in the United States alone.
Here are 15 Ways to sleep better BY MICHAEL MARTIN SEPTEMBER 3, 2020 You Think Sleep Issues Are Part of Normal Aging
At age 40 or 60, you need the same amount of sleep as you did in college.
1. You're Getting Less Than Seven Hours According to Gallup, the average American sleeps 6.8 hours nightly, and 40 percent of us sleep less than six hours a night. Adults, need seven to nine hours.
2. Shut Down Screens An Hour Before Bed
"Wind down by reading a (paper) book, writing in a journal, or chatting with your partner."
3. Don’t Drink Late-Night Cocktails Researchers have found that alcohol shortens deep (REM) sleep, which makes sleep less restorative. Stick to one to two drinks nightly, and don't use booze as a sleep aid.
- If You're Snoring It can be the sign of a serious health problem: Namely, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). During OSA, breathing can stop for as long a minute, before your brain wakes you up to resume breathing. It's also exhausting. talk to your doctor.
6. If You're Using Sleeping Pills- think again. You shouldn't need to rely on meds to get to sleep, even over-the-counter drugs. Some studies have linked the use of hypnotic (sleep-inducing) drugs to an increased risk of cancer and death. Instead figure out a new way to relax and slow your mind.
I did a survey of my clients and the #2 Challenge with having anxiety was getting good sleep because of difficulty of shutting off your brain.
3 Ways to Shut off your Anxious mind:
Learn ways to Let Go of the worry thoughts that are not processed in the day, that are affecting your sleep if you are a chronic worrier.
For instance, If you're still hashing over a conflict or a meeting at work that you didn't say what you felt you should have said.
Learning letting go skills of the What if’s, what if I would have said this or that or the ruminations of the thoughts that are going around and around. Instead refocusing these thoughts on peaceful calming thoughts to instill that feeling in your body to relax.
Learn progressive tense and release of different muscle groups starting at your toes to your head that has been shown to not only reduce your physical muscle tension and stress, but it also refocuses your thoughts on your body.
Add a breathing technique of counting your breathes in through your nose as you count to 4 and exhale to the count of 8 and patterns of a set of 4. This is a profound relaxer because it stimulates the Vagus nerve to excrete a relaxing chemical acetylcholine.
Create a nightly practice of a meditation. You could put on a headset, listen to some music
This building new habits of releasing the worry that you can actually build ways you can use to shift these rumination to a more peaceful place.
7. Make your Afternoon Nap earlier or not at all Just don't doze too long — anything over 25 minutes or so will put you into a deeper sleep and make it harder to wake up. Snooze too late in the day — say, anytime after 5 pm — and it may be harder for you to hit the hay later. Or try not to nap during the day at all.
8. Don’t Sleep On A Full Stomach Eating a full meal too close to bedtime increases your risk of acid reflex and indigestion, which can lead to snoring or insomnia. Eat dinner at least three hours before bed. If you need a late-night snack, stick to something light.
9. Change Your Pillow Your pillow should be washed every six months and replaced every year or two. The reason to wash: Dust mites. These microscopic critters (and their waste) can worsen allergies and asthma, impairing breathing and therefore your sleep.
10. Wash Your Sheets More Often Experts recommend washing your sheets at least every two weeks, weekly if you suffer from allergies, asthma or eczema. To prevent dust mites from inhabiting your mattress, use a protective cover. Wash it every two months.
11. No Sleeping With A Pet Man's Best Friend is causing your worst nightmares. 53 percent of people who sleep with their pets have disturbed rest and abnormal sleep patterns, because of their four-legged friend's restless behavior (or the real estate they take up).
12. Get Enough Exercise
Getting as little as 10 minutes of exercise a day has been shown to lead to better shut-eye, warding off sleep-inhibiting conditions like sleep apnea and restless leg syndrome
-
If You Toss And Turn Experts recommend that if you're having trouble getting to sleep, get out of bed after 20 minutes. Do a calm activity, like reading a (paper) book or listening to music until you feel sleepy. Avoid screens.
-
Don’t Sleep On Your Stomach Many stomach sleepers experience pain because that position twists the body out of alignment. You have to sleep with your head turned to the side, which makes it hard to breathe and puts strain on your back and spine, raising your risk for neck problems or a herniated disk.
15. You're Sleeping Too Much Sleep is vital for health as we age, but there can be too much of a good thing. Oversleeping has been correlated with an increased risk of dementia. Stick to nine hours, max, and wake up at the same time every day.
I hope this helps to relax to sleep better and will your health and lower your anxiety.

In this episode Joanne Williams, LCSW discusses the costs of Social Anxiety and A help guide learning new skills and adopting a different outlook if you feel socially awkward
In this episode Joanne Williams, LCSW discusses solutions for social anxiety and how it starts, it is not your fault.
3 Solutions to manage Social Anxiety
What is anxiety costing you? A relationship, fun and excitement that promotion you were overlooked for?
We humans are very social creatures; other people are important to us. As we all know from personal experience, human relationships can deeply affect us, emotionally; they can either enrich or complicate our lives.
Not surprisingly, the roots of our anxiety may lie largely in our childhood: Our early childhood experiences shape our later relationships, romantic and otherwise.
As infants, we develop an "attachment style" that reflects how we relate to our early caregiver(s), reflected in a "secure", "anxious avoidant" or "anxious ambivalent" (either "resistant" or "passive") style.
Those who have a responsive caregiver who meets the infant's needs tend to develop a "secure" attachment style (happy at caregiver's appearance, upset at his/her departure, empowered to explore the world and connect with caregiver).
Those who have a responsive caregiver who fails to meet the infant's needs can develop an "anxious avoidant" style (indifferent to caregiver appearance, unreactive to departure, detached- little exploration or connection with caregiver).
Those who caregiver isn't reliably present can become "anxious ambivalent". If the infant feels is unable to influence the caregiver, then can become "resistant" (showing anger at caregiver's appearance); if not, they can become "passive" (helpless).
Relationships can be the cause of a great deal of anxiety.
Conversely, healthy and personally-satisfying relationships can work wonders in reducing anxiety caused by many life-challenges.
Adults with Secure attachment tend to be high achievers who enjoy exploring and don’t overly fear failure. They have good relationship skills (communication, conflict resolution, etc., and don't long tolerate unsatisfying relationships.
Secure adults tend to partner with other secure adults. (In relationships, one Secure partner is enough to stabilize a relationship.) They see sex and intimacy as a single thing, and they share initiation and enjoyment of sex.
Anxious-Preoccupied adults seek high levels of intimacy and approval, and can become overly dependent on partners. They have low trust in self and others, are emotionally expressive and impulsive, and are sensitive to separation.
Anxious-Preoccupied adults can overreact and can read too much into situations, resulting in self-sabotage. They often partner with Dismissive-Avoidant partners.
Dismissive-Avoidant adults are highly independent, and seem to avoid attachment and commitment. They see themselves as self-sufficient, often distancing from others, and suppressing their feelings.
Dismissive-Avoidant individuals often feel good about themselves, while distrusting others. They prefer low-intimacy sex, and don't seem to much enjoy physical contact.
Fearful-Avoidant adults desire close relationships, but they are often uncomfortable with intimacy. They tend to mistrust their partners, seeing themselves as unworthy of love. They suppress their feelings and avoid intimacy.
Attachment anxiety can produce specific behaviors in the course of developing a romantic relationship: seeking closeness, seeking comfort and support ("safe haven"), seeking security in exploring. It's normal to feel some attachment anxiety in the course of developing a romantic relationship.
| How our relationships can affect our level of anxiety: | | Close relationships with family, friends and romantic partners affect the onset, course and treatment of anxiety disorders. | | Having no close friends is significantly associated with GAD, social anxiety disorder, agoraphobia, and specific phobia. | | Dissatisfaction with familial or marital relationships is associated with GAD and some phobias. | | One's relationship status (single, married, divorced) plays into how the quality of one's relationships with family, friends and romantic partners affects potential anxiety disorders: | | For single or divorced individuals, poor relationships with family or friends is associated with generalized anxiety disorder, social phobia and agoraphobia. | | Married people with anxiety disorders tend to have higher divorce rates, and are more likely to be single. Adults with anxiety disorders are less likely to be married, and more likely to divorce. | | For married people, poor relationships with family or romantic partners is associated with generalized anxiety disorder and PTSD. | | Marital distress may be causally related with anxiety disorders (GAD, social anxiety disorder, PTSD).Wives with anxiety disorders perceive their husbands as having a role in their anxiety, and vice versa. | | For young adults, friends can provide more emotional supports than do parents, and parents can produce more conflict than friends. | | High anxiety can cause a person to seek safety and support from others, which can strain the relationship with those others. | | How we (mentally) "see" the world can affect our anxiety: | | Peoples' cognitive style (way of interpreting past occurrences and projected future consequences) can provoke emotional disorders. | | Perceiving a threat can cause exaggerated focus on possible signs of a threat, causing anxiety. Negative life-events can exacerbate this anxiety. | | Many early-life negative interpersonal experiences (e.g. parental separation, discord, unavailability, or trauma) can predispose one to anxiety. | | Negative perceptions of romantic relationships can cause anxiety. | | How our social connections can affect our anxiety: | | Exclusion from social groups can have many adverse effects. | | People seek out inclusion in important or valued social groups, motivating much of social behavior. | | Exclusion from social groups can induce social anxiety, jealousy, loneliness, shyness and depression, often in concert. | | Social anxiety is more common in those with low self-esteem or insecurities. | | For adolescents, high social status, solid friendships and dating relationships can protect them against social anxiety. Conversely, exclusion or aggression or troubled best-friend relationships promote social anxiety. | | Adolescents may offer useful lessons for adults: | | Belonging to high-status groups can boost self-esteem and reduce loneliness. | | Victimization by peers (exclusion, aggression) can increase anxiety. | | High-quality friendships can reduce the impact of low peer acceptance. | | Positive close friendships can reduce social anxiety, while negative friendship interactions can increase anxiety. | | Positive romantic relationships can reduce social anxiety, while negative romantic relationships can increase anxiety |
The #1 challenge I found from a survey I did to anxiety, was in social situations. If this is you, You are not alone, The CDC is reporting that depression, anxiety is increasing to nearly 50%. of the population right now.
Without tools or skills to bounce back better with resilience, this is going to be another very long year and we have been socially isolated too long and my have lost our social edge.
The definition of Social Anxiety is if you feel uncomfortable or anxious being in one or more social situations, where you feel exposed to people looking at you or expecting something from you and you fear you will say the wrong thing and be embarrassed or feel unwanted by others and this provokes anxiety. So you avoid situations or feel the need to just endure it.
If this is you….
The good news is, these are skills you were meant to learn in your family and you can learn them at anytime in your life. I am going to give you some tools to learn some skills that you missed out on. But, will you dare to use them?? Or will your excuses keep speaking louder than your will to learn some skills and enjoy more of life.
You could look at social anxiety like you are supporting your own anxiety habit? An anxiety thought habit. Because you spend so much time thinking about ways to avoid feeling insecure, it has become a habit to avoid the feeling of insecurity.
Like changing any habit, the best way is to replace it with a new one. And the replacement is learning the skills needed to feel confident.
How does anyone learn how to be socially confident? They just do it and practice it until they feel comfortable doing it and find success and satisfaction from doing it.
For extroverts who are 75% of the population, it is easier because they get energy from being around people. Where an introvert has energy sucked out of them being around people. But, there are way to manage this.
You could save so much more energy, if you can flip this habit around to reassuring thoughts instead of negative catastrophic ones. Like…I hate that, or I will die to face them. Change it into, I will check it out and promise to stay for 15 minutes, and leave, if I don’t find the people interesting. But, I can have a good time, if I choose to.
I did a survey with my clients and there were 3 anxiety situation that were the most challenging that I want to offer solutions for.
They were #1 anxiety was in Social Situations, …sleep issues with ruminating thoughts that interfere with getting to sleep and anxiety interfering with achieving goals were the others, I will go into those at a later time. Today we will focus on Social situations.
Generally, one of the reasons that you have anxiety is because You are looking at situation, through a lens of I can’t or I will be embarrassed if or What if this happens or don’t know what to say. Does that sound about right, then here are some things to look at.
Do you care to much about how you look to other, or if you will be accepted or liked and are overthinking this situation. Learning confidence skills can lower that need, because you do feel confident. Start to like the person you are and care less what others are thinking since you can only control one of these situations.
Learn emotional skills Or Emotional Intelligence, to keep up with the many changes happening in the world will help you be ready for changes, in many different situations, at work, in relationships or socially. Emotions are your friends once you know how to use them, they are actually telling you what is needed.
But, I think everyone can get up to speed with the emotional intelligence needed with a few skills that you need to master with practice.
So, I want to ask you again, what is anxiety costing you? Have you thought of it as a real cost? It might be larger than you think, because of your insecurities, lasting friendships or more?
The worst thing I hear from clients is they have just give up and giving in to the anxiety and just say no thanks to friends asking them to do things and avoid doing things that would make their lives better?
If this is you, You are not alone, The CDC is reporting that depression, anxiety is increasing to nearly 50%. of the population right now.
Without tools or skills to bounce back better with resilience, this is going to be another very long year.
So, I will offer 3 skills for solutions to Social anxiety to put this under your control.
What I want to offer first is just a simple mind set shift that you can practice. Know that eight out of 10 participants in a study felt some level of insecurities, going into a meeting or a new social situation. They’re checking their teeth for spinach. They are seeing if their hair is okay. So, know that almost everyone is feeling some level of insecurity, so you are not alone. It is normal. Start to look at this differently. You are fine the way you are.
First-Start to notice what you are thinking about before going into the social situation. Check in with yourself and see how you are feeling about yourself do you feel like you look good, prepared and looking forward to it? .
Check your attitude about the situations. Are you feeling confident or insecure before going into it? If not, then get prepared and make sure you look good and are feeling strong. Are your shoulders back, is your head up high, or are you kind of slouching into the situation?
Know that 50% of your communications is body language. All of these things are broadcasting to everyone how you are feeling, without being aware of it. As you come into this meeting, are you open and interested and saying hello, or are you just being quiet and staying back.
All of these can be the difference between insecure and secure.
Have you noticed as some people enter, they light up the room with their energy and people are drawn to them right away or the opposite, have you noticed that some people come in like a black cloud is following them and people are moving away from them.
This is your attitude conveyed with your personal energy entering a room. This is something that you can control and project Confidence with practice.
Start today by preparing your energy, by holding your head high, shoulders back, Put a smile on our face that shows genuine interest in going to the meeting, it shows I'm interested in you and what you have to say. This can be fun to play with to see the different reactions.
You can build a plan before you go to a social situation. Start to Notice the kinds of thoughts that are ruminating around in your head, they are usually worry thoughts. You can put them behind imaginary doors and say later to them.
Then can start to look at some new habits of letting go of the What if’s, what if I would have said that or the ruminations of the thoughts that are going around and around, by learning to stand up for your self with a good come back that can will show respect for yourself
or tells the other person to stand down, to feel more confidence.
I wish parents would teach these to the shy kids so they don’t freeze up and instead stand up for themselves.
Like, Clearly you’ve got problems…
I thought you were better than this..
Do you have many friends if you are treating me this way.
You really need to get some help, you are Out of control.
Clearly this is not about me…
- Start a daily practice of meditation. Proven to lower blood pressure and create better letting go and calming skills. letting go the worry, instead of holding on to the stress will help in the long run. Because you are either building up or accumulating tension or releasing it. these are skills that pay a huge benefit to shift these rumination to a more peaceful place when you learn letting go skills..
- Is it worth it to make these changes? Sometimes when you really want something, you will make the changes. One study showed that you could be losing $105K, per year, with lost promotions, or not being to speak up for a rent reduction, or getting a better price buying a car. or What is fear costing you if it is getting in the way of a relationships that you really want. So they may need more exploration and practice to address them.
This is something I see consistently with my clients, they are more focused on what they don’t want, instead of what they do want. What I hear is….I don't like the way he does this, I would never be with that type of person. I don’t like… And then more complaining about not getting what they want to have?
Think clearly about the kind of person you do want to meet, what are the qualities you are looking for, not what you don’t want? What would that new job look like? Your focus on your goal is critical to getting to it.
It is Like driving a car looking backwards, but expecting it to take you where you want to go, and then being mad at yourself, for not getting there. Maybe you haven’t taken the time to truly think that through.
So there is much more that I would love to be able to offer you around this and Cut your losses of what anxiety is costing you with my professional abilities. I feel with my 30 years’ experience, to help you to get to your goals, to have better sleep, feel more confident in social situations in my private sessions.

In this episode Joanne Williams, LCSW discusses a new study showing that a scary number of our teens that are struggling and need our Help even when many of them don’t realize it. 4 Strategies you Can Use to Help your Teen or Your Teens Friends to develop skills to deal with these imposing emotions.
Summary of Todays show: Our teens are getting more overwhelmed than we may be aware of. I will share 4 strategies for what you can do and to understand why this may be happening and how to help them.
- The Signs that our teens are struggle to cope
- The stressors with certain groups that are worse
- 3 factors that come together to create a sense of hopelessness and despair.
- How we can help- 4 key strategies you can use today that will help.
- How we can help by understanding yours and your child’s attachment style.
Please hear from a 30 year MH professional. We are having a MH crisis with our Children.
I heard a statistic that scared me so much and it should scare you too.
From the organization Mental health America that did an online study 1.5 million 11-17 students. The teens took a depression screening test starting in Sept. 2020, so this is recent data and 37 % of the 11-17 yo reported were having suicidal thoughts in the last 7 of 14 days when they took the survey. 37 %-50% of these teens, when you add for other groups with higher rates, were considering or had thoughts taking their life. Or examining or weighing options. This doesn’t mean they will but, it is considered having ideations about it and the next question would be, do they have a plan to figure out how seriously they are thinking about his.
But, we all need to take it as serious as a heart attack, this is part of a shadow pandemic that is affecting our kids directly. This test is one of the 9 criteria I used to diagnosis depression with my clients. We use a test called PHQ-9. This is one of the 9 questions, on the depression screen test. So this is a reliable and credible test. Done on line, with no adults watching or listening, may actually give us a better understanding of what our kids are thinking and feeling at this age. Many times teens are not very communicative anyway, with us as parents or if asked they may not even understand themselves. or know that they are depressed or that they THAT unhappy. If feels normal to them. This is why they can do impulsive things and do harm to themselves. Number one cause of death in teens is accidents. Signs to look for in your kids are changes in their behaviors, not interested in doing things that they previously had interest in, physical signs in their bodes, the way they carry themselves, slumped shoulders, no energy, or more negative talk. Hopelessness is one of the biggest keys to suicide, nothing to live for. Some kid verbalize that they have thoughts to harm themselves, but some don’t, so don’t wait for that. A parent told me yesterday, those were the exact signs she was seeing in her son. They figured out, that he was feeling he had no purpose because he didn’t have his team sport that he loved and lived for. She immediately figured out where a similar team was playing and weighed the risks of Covid and decided his mental health was more important. These are trying times for all of us.
There are so many compounding factors that I am sure you are aware of as a parent that you are dealing with that, we may not be able to help our children cope better, if you don’t how to cope yourself. As we all know from personal experience, human relationships can deeply affect us, emotionally; they can either enrich or complicate our lives.
Not surprisingly, the roots of our anxiety may lie largely in our childhood: Our early childhood experiences shape our later relationships, romantic and otherwise.
We humans are very social creatures; other people are important to us.
You can learn skills of what to do. This is not something to worry about this is something to take action to get involved, ON. You can ask for help at school, at church or from a counselor.
BUT, we have to get involved somehow, in what the teens like, get into THEIR world, what they want to do. Because they are in the phase of development, everything is able them. And everything is pronounced or exaggerated in their minds, I think because of hormone and this stage that stage is about finding their own identity and in high school finding their social identity and how they belong. You do remember how hard this was a teenager? DON’T you?
Adolescents may offer useful lessons for adults:
So, kids are watching you and learning from the adults behaviors, so healthy relationship in the family can make a huge difference.
Even if they don’t want our help or think we are totally stupid and we don’t know anything, they still need us and are Listening to you and your advise, but, they may not show it. Keep talking to them, they are listening and taking in everything. But, you will never know it for years.
Even having some hope on the horizon with vaccines, there still have been over 550,000 death that are affecting our families.
I see that 1 of these deaths from covid affects at least 10 other people, like being a coworkers, or as a friend or a friend of the family, or a spouse, or a spouse, grandparent or someone associated with the family, that they know and may need our help to assist the family out with this grief, or to help the family member, to get through the day, or through the day at work to keep everything together for the rest of the family’s sake financially. If my calculations are true that is 5 million people affected, with losses, just this year from covid, more or less the other issues compounding this.
The report that I am sharing, is in a link for you to see, it is staggering, and we need to be shouting this from the roof tops. But, unfortunately it is really hard to hear and for some it is just too much.
I will share these new statistics from Mental Health America that 10 % of youth in America have severe depression, where these thoughts of self-harm are found in 1 out of 10 of our children. Look around you. This may be your child’s friend. The highest rates are among youth who Identify as more than one race at 12 % and 60% DO NOT RECEIVE ANY MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT.
We as an American society have managed to classify a set of symptoms of feeling overwhelmed, tired, poor concentration, feeling like a failure into classification to feel ashamed of, instead of looking at it as we need to teach life skills on how to manage or cope with these feelings.
Without ever being taught these coping or life skills and expected to know what to do with them??.
And if we as the parent are avoiding seeing the signs of overwhelm in our kids, because we don’t know how to manage them ourselves. What are we to do? There are things that you can do.
We have 50-90,000 thoughts per day that can go towards our health and happiness or away from it into depression, or thinking we are a failure or worthless and things are hopeless.
To compound this issue is that children don’t’ even start to have the cognitive abilities… the thinking skills, to understand how to figure out how to deal with their emotions until they are age 12-25. That part of their brain is still developing. The thinking/ cognitive or higher brain skills of how to figure out how deal with feelings of failure, or self-worth are continuing to develop until they are 25 years old.
Notice a male can’t rent a car until they are 25. Why? They haven’t developed the emotional and cognitive skills to be trusted to rent a car and be responsible for it. They need our help.
Suicide in teens is the second leading cause of death only to accidents, in the US.
Guns in the home increase the possibility of both violence and suicide. According to the Everytownresearch.com
There are 3 factors that come together to create a sense of hopelessness and despair.
The 3 risk factors are:
1.Current life stressors, prolonged stress, (financial, emotionally stress like bullying, harassment) their attitude towards it and the support they receive are part of what will save them or not.
2 Historical risks, previous suicide attempts, family history of depression or suicides, childhood abuse, neglect or traumas of any kind, family losses, physical head trauma)
3.Lethal means of harm at their disposal including firearms.
They are learning how to cope from you the parent or their peers. Which do you want them to learn from ? If you as a parent and don’t understand how to manage your emotions, then, buy a book, listen to free podcasts, like mine at Anxiety Simplified on all major platforms, pay a professional counselor and learn the skills. They can be learned like any other skill.
I truly believe that this is a bigger issue with teens, I think it is finding meaning of life and its purpose and connecting to it. I think that we don’t often give it the time it deserves as a philosophic way to look at life until college years. But, I see the real message is a deeper need to connect with something bigger than them, something with more depth than social media, social comparisons. Here are 4 things you can do:
1. Connect with Nature with your kid, have them join a team, connect with a church or social group that is active 2. Teens are in a development time of separation from their parents and trying to find themselves and their purpose and meaning. The more experience they have in different areas, the quicker they know what they don’t like, to know what they do like. Let them safely experiment and if you can be the chaperone and just witness them from afar, you will begin to see you kids strengths to encourage them to move in that direction. 3. Get a dog, or an animal in the home and can bring purpose and meaning and responsibility to something other than themselves. Or go to https://esapros.com for an emotional support animal or a Psychiatric Service Dog to go with you everywhere to give you the support you need.
4. Volunteer Make this and your children a priority. They will be gone before you know what happened. These are very important times. Figure out how to be their support system, even if they say they don’t want you too. Do something with them they like to do, even if you don’t. Just like in any relationship there is give and take and right now it is give give give with a teens. We are left to figure it out ourselves and pay for it ourselves. I do feel like it is one of the best investments in yourself and your family that you can ever make.

9 ways to get unstuck when you feel hurt, betrayal or overwhelmed.
Summary:
- How to Change your focus from hurt to happiness.
- Focus on what you want next in your life to move on
- Focus on a lesson learned to not repeat again.
- How could be better off from experiencing this?
- Use your Intention for the Long term instead of on the short term
- Don’t blame anyone or yourself- Take responsibility!
In my counseling practice I am seeing more clients feeling overwhelmed, from all the things happening this year. Some may not have not had the emotional energy to grieve their losses. So, we are holding on to more unhealthy feelings than we need to.
One of my clients came to me and told me she felt that her sister had really hurt her badly over a co-friend situation and the sister choice the friend over her. There has been a rift, or strain since. This has been 5 years now. Covid has made it feel like it was time to come back together as a family, but her sister really didn’t seem to care about coming back together. So we will talk about ways this sister, we call her Clara, might find some relief.
9 ways to let go and get out of feeling Stuck.
-Ask-Do you REALLY want to change this situation and or ready to Repair the Relationship? or are you enjoying the blaming and pointing outside of yourself? This is the 1st step you Must ask. If you must really want to change this situation Or you won’t. Period. It is always Your choice.
1.Notice what you are focused on with your own thoughts in this situation without blaming the other?
Are you continual focused on how the person hurt you, revenge thoughts, hate or destructive feelings?
Or are you focused on solutions to repair, understand, willing to forgive or let go? Only you can answer this.
This client, Clara, did decide to let go of the hurt and betrayal she was feeling but didn’t’ know she could affect this, herself. If her sister wasn’t part of it.
Sometimes in therapy, or in couples therapy, even if just one person coming to the session, can change the dynamic, because THEY let go and then they can move forward and feel better about the situation themselves or they look at this situation differently and they make themselves feel better about it, so they act differently to the other person and It even seems to change the dynamics in the relationship, when one person feels happy and has let this go of the issue. Even if the other person never does.
- Increase your focus on what it is that you actual want as the outcome, instead of what you are mad about or being RIGHT? Write down what you want to happen as a solution.
This client Clara just wants to feel better about her sister.
- Feel where in your body you feel this when you talk about the situation?
Sit with it for a time and feel it and let is wash over you until it is gone. Get up walk around, shake it off and then feel it in the body again. It is amazing when we just take a moment to feel something, we can let it go.
- Write out what you are stuck on with the person- Are you still hating the way that person speaks about you? Write out what you feel you are stuck on and write a new ending to this story how you wish it had ended (no one will know any ways, it’s your story)
- Is this feeling or situation within your control to change? If this decision IS within your control:
Do you think the situation with Clara is under her control or not? Most might say no.
Consciously choose a new way to look at the situation, maybe from their viewpoint, choose a new scenario of why this happened.
If this issue doesn’t feel within your control-Put it UNDER your control
Take your power back from whomever you gave it too. Understand that you had to play a part- even unknowingly or even if you were too young to understand. Maybe you could not do it then, but you can take your power back now.
Take 100% responsibility and No blaming anyone or yourself for this happening and that puts it back under your control to change the outcome.
Clara didn’t feel it was within her control, but as we talked about it, she could put it under her own control, by deciding to feel happy no matter what. Stop blaming her sister and stop writing negative things on social media about her to friends. That can stop the progress of more hurt feelings.
- Let Go -Now to be freed from the effects of this issue and this person. I know it is- Simple to say- maybe not Simple to do but when you are ready to let go. You will decide too, and the way will come clearer, how to resolve it.
Many times, The other person may not even know they hurt you. Don’t waste any more emotional energy or pain on them. Its time to let it go.
7.Here is a simple easy method you can try right now.
The Sedona Method- developed by Virginia Lloyd- Ask these 3 questions?
- Could I Let go? Of course, you could let go-If you choice too.
- Will I let go- this is the big ask?? If not why not? If you can’t figure this out by yourself then it is therapy time to ask for help. Please reach out, we can refer you to someone of maybe you want a session with Joanne to work this out.
- When will I let go? Right NOW!
If the feeling returns, because they might, just ask. Could I let go? Would I let go? When? Until it does.
- You can send vibs of happiness and joy to that person that hurt you, no one needs to know. As a blessing of happiness for yourself, because you will feeling better for doing it it. No matter what someone does to you, you can send this love. Then this is under your control and you will feel better for doing it.
- Choose to feel good no matter what, Show happiness about your life, that is the best revenge of all. Being happy no matter what.
This is by no means a replacement for therapy of any medical attention if your need it. Always reach out and take care of yourself or if you are feeling like you want to hurt yourself, there is always someone standing by at 1800-273-8255 or call 911

Joanne Williams discusses why if you can live to 60 years old then statistically you can live to 80 years old.
Summary of today: How having Emotional Intelligent or Emotional Quotient can help you live longer.
- What are the factors in living through your 50’s healthfully?
- EQ or EI what is Emotional Quotient or Emotional Intelligence
- My new theory on why living through your 50’s can be especially hard.
- 3 things you can do to live a happier life in your 50’s if you start now.
Question of the day is: How are the Habits you form today going to help you tomorrow and beyond.
I noticed something this week that I thought I would share today to help you survive through your 50’s. I had read an insurance statistic that if you can live to 60 years old you have a much higher statistical possibility you will live to 80 years old.
I had 2 professional colleagues die this year. One a 51-year-old Counselor and a 59 yo mentor.
That made me really think about a syndrome that I have seen now in family friends that I am witnessing that many are dying in their 50’s. And I think it may be from disillusionment, that without meeting the many expectation of family life, career expectation they are giving up on life, because they have not reached the goals that they felt they should have met.
Not to mention a global pandemic adding another level of financial and health stressors or the possibility of losing their homes in their 50s could be financial devastating. According to this article by By LIZ WESTON of NerdWallet
"If the economy tanks, 50 year olds are the first to go," according to les Weinstock. "Staying current in your field is really important."
And Weinstock recommends that you could ask younger co-workers to help you stay up-to-date with the latest technologies used by your office, for example. To stay relevant.
"This is a great way for you to learn from someone else and to build more relationships," Weinstock says. Which is key for several reason.
And when it comes to relationships, more is better. Weinstock urges older workers to keep growing their networks, since most new jobs are found through someone you know.
Losing a job is almost always traumatic. In your 50s, job loss can be devastating -- and devastatingly common. He says to;
SAVE MORE, SAVE EARLIER, BORROW LESS
Many people find their ability to save is hampered by the amount of debt they have. Federal Reserve statistics show that households headed by people 45 to 54 years old owed more than twice as much in 2016 as similar households in 1989. There is a big stressor to avoid.
WEAN THE KIDS I will talk more about this in the 3 things you can do to stay happier.
Many parents provide their adult children with some financial support, and it's typically for household expenses rather than emergencies.
I see these as whether you are either accumulating healthy daily habits that will sustain you in hard times or will hold you back.
As I wondered about this new syndrome of dying in your 50’s, I looked at actually five close people, in my life who died, and all were in that 50 yo range.
The 2 close colleague and mentor who died this year were 51 and 59. One died unexpectedly of heart issues and one of breast cancer without telling a soul.
It really made me think that there really is something here, and I suspect disillusionment or depression as part of the emotional components of these deaths, that they may have giving up on being able to keep up with the expectations of life with more pressures. or Their tendencies own tendency to put pressures on themselves.
Maybe they're overachievers and they're not achieving like they used to. And I think the scariest part of the most misleading part is they appeared very happy.
I think a lot of times the jolliest of friends or family are the ones we should put more attention on. They seem the happiest, they are sometimes feeling sadness inside and are covering it up with their laughs. And they do fool us. So, we don’t see their sadness, we do not notice them.
I think part of this is denial. Maybe on our part too, but on their part of what's going on or avoidance might even be a better word for this.
I see that If we are not creating good daily habits to sustain our happiness, then it can go the other direction with stress or increased pressers as we age.
Or maybe it is low Emotional Quote EQ or emotional intelligence, EI which is defined as the capability to recognize your own emotions, and those of others and discern between different feelings, and abilities to use emotional information to guide your thinking and behaviors and adjust emotions to adapt to your environment. Daniel Goleman defined EI is typically associated with empathy, because it involves an individual's connecting their personal experiences with those of others.
So, EQ really is about adapting but it's an understanding and how to use emotions in this equation. Which anyone can improve to feel happier or adapt better to transitions.
This is one of the components in my Thrive system as I work with clients to help them understand the interactions between our thoughts and emotions affecting our behaviors.
I currently putting together a supportive community to build more confidence in social situations, using my Thrive system as an example of how to use EQ. To feel more secure more confident about your abilities as you move into a transition into latter stages of life because I am seeing an increase in depression and without these skills on how to deal better with life pressures, I do believe that it can affect us physically if we don’t figure it out.
You can learn these skills to adapt and make those transitions in life and not to give up or get disillusioned that we aren’t able to keep up.
But if you are noticing somebody that maybe has lost their smile, share this with them, help them to notice, or strongly encourage somebody to reach out to get a different perspective or encourage counseling that is included in all health plans to increase their knowledge of their emotions, or to help them develop something that they truly enjoy in life.
So there are things you can offer a person that you love that is in their 50s and floundering maybe they've lost their job in COVID, or their business in the COVID maybe losing their house.
When things can start to pile on and you've if got teenagers in the home with expectations needing more money, thoughts about college, and the pressure start to mount.
Here are three things that anyone can use, but specifically people in their 50s, to find more purpose and meaning for this transitional time, but needing to make money, be productive, and do all the things that are needed if you do have children still in your home.
So, here's three things you can do today to move you into better Emotional Intelligence.
- lower your pressures and expectations on yourself. Sometimes that pressure is internal, it's not even expected of you. But you put it on yourself, maybe you were an overachiever, and just think you need to, or me maybe even take on responsibilities of others that are not even truly yours. That's a really important one to check out. That you're not taking on what I'm going to call other people's stuff, or responsibilities of others that is truly theirs. But if you are a fixer and trying to make sure everyone is happy and but, leaving yourself out. I call it stay in your own lane. What is yours to take care of. Sometimes we think we are responsible for how our children turn out. They have choices and consequences. And I feel that is our responsibility as a parent not to fix things, the messes that they create, but teach them responsible behavior, life skills, emotional intelligence, by your example. So maybe look at what you are taking on for other people's responsibilities but increase also your belief that you can figure this out work towards a five year goal instead of one month ago or one year ago, and Bill Gates said something that we seem to over expect what we can do in one year and underestimate what we could do in five years. So start to look at a five year plan maybe it is financial. What do you need to do get clear on what you want your and what you choose now for this next transition time, but it's called a clarity action plan to decrease your doubts and increase your happiness your enjoyment factor.
If you're noticing more Disillusioned with life and if you can keep all of these balls in the air, or sadness and overwhelmed or feeling stuck To me, that's the beginning of depression, you're digging a hole and you can't get get out of it. And this is to me when the danger starts that needs to be looked at that people, maybe even subconsciously unaware of what some of their habits behaviors are creating in this depression or truly given up on life and not really recognizing it.
I had this colleague at age 51, that his heart gave out, Is that a metaphor. My mentor age 59 this year, My own brother was just 64, when he died. But it seemed like the same thing. He just couldn't do the same things, getting up on a roof, fixing things, having the energy to be able to be productive, in competition with the younger guys, making enough money he needed. And it doesn't feel like there's a lot of a support around us to be even able to talk about this.
So even just being able to support somebody to understand not to fix it, but to listen.
- Get happy. Change your mindset to I can do this. I will do this. I don’t know How I will do this, but I will. What daily action can you take to be happier? What do you enjoy doing for yourself? That you can do right now? Do you like puzzles, playing cards, take a walk or ride draw. There's coloring books for adults painting, picking up something I can do right now reading, sitting, being quiet. Whatever it is listening to music can be wonderfully relaxing and creating a joyful feeling smile. Smiling is one of the I think most underrated things you can possibly do to feel happier.
- increase your EQ or emotional quotient or intelligence. Start by recognizing the four main emotions we all have happy, sad, mad or scared, get used to saying I'm really happy with this when I do this with you. Or when I'm doing this with you, I am really sad, when I see you doing this. Just say it and say, or when you are mad, scare
Use this to recognizing your emotional state and saying it out loud. Reach out if you feel stuck, overwhelmed and don't allow doubt or expectation from others to get to stand up for yourself. Just keep moving forward step by step to feel happier and just move to be feel more satisfied. And c
This is by no means a replacement for therapy of any medical attention if your need it. Always reach out and take care of yourself or if you are feeling like you want to hurt yourself, there is always someone standing by at 1800-273-8255 or call 911.

Joanne Williams discusses: How to create a Psychopath- Never Say NO to them, or set any boundaries on them that is the simple answer.
What is a psychopath or a narcissistic and how can we protect ourselves from them
Treatment options Question of the day is: Can a Psychopath be treated?
This is a cautionary tale for parents and society why boundaries and saying no is so important for a functioning society.
As a Mental 30-year Mental Health Provider, I have dealt with all kinds of people and family dynamics. I would usually see this family when things are so out of control that there is no way of helping them, because the child is in charge and the parents and siblings are being held hostage to the behaviors. This is an of an out-of-control child or young adult, without any of the family members, having the skills or having built in the skills, to say no or set appropriate boundaries as a young child and this young adult has become dangerous or revengeful and then the police or someone with more authority has to be brought in.
And unfortunately, the parents are blaming the kid, usually, instead of taking the responsibility of what was needed to happen to prevent this. And this is how generations can perpetual anti-social behaviors, because no one learned appropriate social skills.
Boundaries of saying no, are meant to be learned at developmental milestones of behavior that start to be learned at age 2. when children start to understand that they are separate from their parents and they test the boundaries. The “terrible twos” as you may here them is the development stage of hearing no, and the parents being together and consistent with the child until they understand this is as far as the child can go safely.
Saying no is showing that you care enough to take the time to teach your child what it is to give and take in a relationship and know that is love. Then again in teenage years they go through this again and hopefully, they learned at the 2 year old level and the teens will be much easier then.
I see narcissism or anti-social behaviors as not having learned, the key word here is NO, or learned, to be empathic to others.
These are the qualities of both a narcissist and a Psychopath we call anti-social personality as the clinical diagnosis not psychopath. There are certain traits associated with ASPD that you can watch for if you are in a relationship with or a boss or in your child.
Some of the more common signs of anti-social Personality DO include:
- socially irresponsible behavior ( not having learned what responsible behavior is)
- disregarding or violating the rights of others ( no one showing them what is a personal boundary and boundaries of others)
- inability to distinguish between right and wrong (learning the word no)
- difficulty with showing remorse or empathy ( learning having to care about another human or animal)
- tendency to lie often (they have figure out how to get their needs met by manipulation)
- manipulating and hurting others ( it works and gets the results they want and no on stops them)
- recurring problems with the law ( this becomes the big no, our court and law enforcement)
- general disregard towards safety and responsibility ( no one cares for me, why should I care about them or myself, truly they are hurt little children that are grown up now and left to their own devices to survive in an uncaring world)
Where if you combine these symptoms with narcissist- characterized by:
- an inflated sense of importance
- a deep need for excessive attention and admiration
- lack of empathy for others
- often having troubled relationships
- preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love (Corporate Ceo)
- belief they’re special and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people or institutions. (Politicians)
- need for excessive admiration (Tv stars)
- sense of entitlement
- interpersonally exploitative behavior
- envy of others or a belief that others are envious of them
- demonstration of arrogant and haughty behaviors or attitudes
What it boils down to, says licensed therapist Rebecca Weiler, LMHC is selfishness at the (usually extreme) expense of others, plus the inability to consider others’ feelings at all. Again no one teaching them what is appropriate behaviors or caring about others, because no one cared about me. Or no one setting boundaries.
NPD, like most mental health or personality disorders, isn’t black and white. “Narcissism falls on a spectrum,” explains Beverly Hills family and relationship psychotherapist Dr. Fran Walfish, author of “The Self-Aware Parent.” With just a few symptoms presented to the full blown all-encompassing destructive symptoms.
But make no mistake, they can be dangerous, that charming way of seducing you, telling you what you want to hear and one therapist call it ‘love bombing’ you, can change quickly, if their fragile sense of themselves is hurt. They can seek revenge and be dangerous in a relationship. As we often see in domestic violence.
Seek help if you are ever feeling threaten by a person you are in a relationship with, leaving can be the most dangerous time, because that narcissists may feel that you have bruised their inflated sense of importance or they feel abandoned and have no healthy coping skills to work with it out themselves, because again they never learned them from their initial family. And do look for vulnerable people to control. Once you aren’t that they usually will seek to find someone else to control or see you as an object of their, they are losing.
In January 2021 in a FB live after the insurrection on Jan. 6th at the Capital I did a FB live about these tendencies and what to watch out for.
I believe that is what we saw these same behaviors in White supremacy at the capital. No one was saying NO to them and a past president was supportive their abusive behaviors, in my opinion. People are intimidated by their power and control. Just like the KKK in the south.
This is continuing right now with barbed wire around our National Capital building.
Or in corporate American where one study found that 20 % of American CEO had Psychopathic tendencies. They seek Power and control and learned how to manipulate people and things to bend to their needs.
What brought this up for me to write about was that I was watching some Muscovy ducks, who have multiply colored ducks the size of turkey, that have made our yard their home. A new adolescent duck flew in and tried to take dominance over the older well-established duck, that had dominance over a female duck. The new adolescent duck come to establish his dominance,
They literally fought for 15-20 minutes on land and on water to subjugate one of them and the established older duck won. He said one no, I am the boss and this is my girl, not yours. He did remain dominant.
This young stud give in and they are all living together, after the setting of boundaries. So nature is the example of this also.
It also made me start to even think about racism and slavery, where it started how it started, how its continued. It's about not ever being able to say no and building a system that does say no to someone who is trying to exert their rights or be independent if they are not the right color to the ones in power, being subjugated by ones in power, or a system that is set up to subjugate and say no.
I started to think about slaves plucked out of their own environment their home environment. Put a chains, treated like sub humans, put in, hold of a ship and thrown scraps of food and sold as things.
Demoralized completely subjugated taken out of their home away from family as a way to break them as a way to say the biggest No ever.
Bring them to a new environment you've never experienced, thrown into a new way of life, that your head must be continuing to spin, put in a system that supports that No against you.
You cannot leave, you cannot be free. you cannot exert any rights. Cannot vote,
A system built on fear of physical violence to you. Having a system of No for most to be subjugated for the few benefits.
What does this system sound like it is based on? Psychopathology and narcissism to the nth degree.
A system that is still in place today, that is showing itself to us all, but, has been for most people of color forever.
Right now, there are 100 legislative bills that are before state governments to restrict or make it harder for minorities to vote, to never have a voice. Can we say NO to them? Yes we can with our votes.
Is it time for this subjugation system to stop?
According to Mary Trump, the niece of Donald Trump, wrote a book about it. The title is ‘To much and Never Enough’. Just the title explains it. No one ever said no to him and he has terrorized his family and ours.
As a Psychologist that is what she is illuding to in the Trump family that created the sociopath that we just spent the last 4 years having to deal with as a country. No one said no to him.
So, what can we do for our children or learn from this? In my counseling practice, what I witnessed was that in either direction can produce a Narcissist or a psychopath, Either, overindulging a child and never setting boundaries, or never saying no and just giving in to them and giving them anything they want, or being neglectful or emotional abandoning them or never being emotional available to them.
Without anyone loving them enough to teach them what is appropriate boundaries in relationships or what does it mean to care for another person can lead to both narcissism and anti-social personality or the creation of a psychopath.
We need to learn how to set boundaries or what is appropriate social behaviors and how to say no and mean it without abuse or threats. To be consist and follow thru on what you say and stick to it for the good of the child and family. Seek help early from a professional, do not wait, if you school or neighbors, tell you your child is a bully.
More men than women have this diagnosis.
- Technically, to receive an ASPD diagnosis, you have to be 18 years of age. But some people will show signs of conduct disorder, which may be an early indicator of ASPD, as early as age 11.
- It’s a chronic condition that seems to improve with age.
- Mortality rates are higher in people with ASPD because of their behavior.
However, Dr. Masand, clinical director or Healthy ways, counseling, says a true ASPD diagnoses is not made until the age of 18. “For most people, the worst of the behavior occurs in the late teen years throughout the twenties,” he explains.
It will be apparent generally in grade school, the bully on the playground.
To get a proper diagnosis, a mental health professional will conduct a full mental health profile.
The mental health professional will also look at medical history. This full evaluation is a critical step since ASPD tends to show comorbidity with other mental health and addictive disorders.
Since a true ASPD diagnosis is typically delayed until the age of 18, adolescents and teens that present with similar symptoms younger with behaviors for conduct disorder (CD) or oppositional defiant disorder (ODD).
Of the two behavior disorders, CD is more severe than ODD. When determining if a child has ODDTrusted Source, clinicians will look at how they act around people they know.
Typically, someone with ODD is more likely to act oppositional or defiant around family members, teachers, or a healthcare provider. If an adolescent or teen is showing an ongoing pattern of aggression toward others and they regularly make choices that are in opposition of the rules and social norms at home, school, or with peers, a clinician may decide to get help quickly. Especially, if a child is hurting animals or setting fires.
Like the diagnostic process, treating someone with psychopathic traits that fall under the ASPD diagnosis can be difficult. Typically, a healthcare provider will use a combination of psychotherapy (talk therapy) and medication.
However, personality disorders cannot be treated with medication alone. Psychotherapy can help the person understand their diagnosis and how it impacts their life and their relationships with others. A therapist will also work to develop strategies that decrease the severity of the symptoms.
If medication is part of the treatment plan, a doctor might prescribe medications that treat other metal health conditions such as anxiety, depression, or symptoms of aggression.
But that's why and that's how and I say this as a cautionary tale to mothers, fathers, that NO is an important boundary. No is supposed to be used, to understand right from wrong. No is a very powerful word that needs to be used in an appropriate way to say it's not okay to do this, who has stand up, as a boundary, so that they understand how to work within social norms to the betterment of the whole, not of the individual person, or family.
As Americans, I think we have a lot to learn about the whole instead of the individual. To include and be respectful of all people instead of subjugating certain parts of our society.
Practice using the word No with Love and with the intention of showing love. Say it without any emotion in it. Just a simple boundary. With a simple non emotional explanation. If you need help please reach out. For all of our sakes.
This is by no means a replacement for therapy of any medical attention if you need it. Always reach out and take care of yourself or if you are feeling like you want to hurt yourself, there is always someone standing by at 1800-273-8255 or call 911.

Our next podcast: Why your 50’s can the most dangerous decade
In this episode Joanne Williams, LCSW discusses with Steven Ray Marks, author of The Weight Loss Habit: The No BS, No Gimmick, (Sort Of) Easy Way to Lose Weight and Keep It Off Forever
Steven started his childhood wealthy, then suddenly switched to being raised by a poor single mother working nights after his attorney father got caught stealing from his clients. He has a BA in Economics from Georgetown University, and an MFA.
He grew up overweight, then in his mid-20s figured out an effective strategy for losing weight, lost 60 lbs. and has kept the weight off since. These are the methods he used to lose 30% of my body weight and keep it off 20 years, without exercise and while still eating the foods he enjoys. And reducing his anxiety rather than worsened it like some of the current diet methods.
Summary of Todays show:
- Lifelong weight loss for people who struggle
- Self-Improvement made easy
- Why is this program different
- Why are diets so ineffective for most people?
- What’s different about the strategies in Stevens book The Weight Loss Habit?
Question for today is? Why is weight loss particularly challenging for people with anxiety?
Steven shared 3 keys to weight loss is to build good eating habits.
- Building good eating habits by praising yourself for good decisions, not punishing yourself for bad decisions.
- An effective weight loss strategy has to be something you’re willing to keep up for life. Which means it must be easy and relatively pleasant. If your diet/exercise program makes you miserable, you’ll end up quitting it and gaining the weight right back.
- The most important weight loss habit is to take a moment to think before you eat, buy, or prepare food, rationally decide if and how much is a good idea to eat, and then praise yourself for good decisions. It can be a good decision to occasionally eat unhealthy food if you really want it. It’s also be a good decision to eat smaller amounts of unhealthy food.
There are many reasons traditional weight loss strategies don’t work and are especially difficult for those who suffer from anxiety. He had depression and anxiety as a kid. “A wall of awful” is what his wife calls her anxiety.
All or nothing thinking, self-deprivation. Super Will power or just Give up or give in.
A shame-and-blame approach, huge time and effort commitments, all-or-nothing thinking, self-deprivation, and requiring more willpower than you have turns any attempt to lose weight into an overwhelming wall of awful.
In the Weight Loss Habit, Steven lays out an alternative that is different from other strategies because it is using reinforcement of the positive choices without blame and shame.
Use the path of least resistance. Have food available that you can eat. Keep things simple and Frozen food are easy. Feel satisfied with smaller bite, 1 M&M, Focus on your goal.
Developing a new habit, by being willing to do it forever, easy and with pleasure. Think first, celebrating pride fundamental part. Replace old habit. Very consciously.
By using a positive approach and small, easy steps, you can build that habits that will allow you lose weight and keep it off for life.
Better self-talk. Be Kind to yourself.
He does use scales to weigh himself Weekly to see progress and then celebrate it.
Focus on what you want, clothes fitting, looking like you want to.
Some simple changes can make this easy to start. Switch to Diet soda, Have gum for dessert, Sugar free flavoring like Stevia, play a game instead of eating, Candy crush, hijacks your brain, fights craving and anxiety.
Steve has a giveaway for our Listeners can get a free guide for losing weight while eating fast food and lists low-calorie options at America’s top fast food chains, from The Weight Loss Habit called “Eating Fast Food for Fun and Weight Loss.

- Healing process starts with needing to break down what is needed to be healed.
- Clear the way of the toxins, parasites, viruses, in layers.
- Rebuilding, allowing the bodies natural process of healing to happen with time and patience.
She has scientific methods to analyze the mineral content in your hair with each stage of the healing process to reassess to clarify the needs.
She sees that the clash between the head and the heart is part of the incoherence that causes the dis-ease without recognizing that we are a whole unit that needs to work in conjunction with each part to create the synergy of healing and optimal health

Summary of today : How we use Superstitions in our everyday life
- Why do we use Superstitions
- Reasons we believe Superstition work?
- What are the Superstitions that Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes use
Question of the day is: Do Superstitions work?
Listen for how you can use Rituals and Superstitions like these pros to be a part of the game of a success Life.
As rational as we are as people, we do believe that all things must remain constant to get the same result as some of the most popular superstitions in sport, like for this Super bowl use. Even Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes have their own Rituals and using objects to have things remain constant. Even as rational people we all might have a favorite something we imagine will bring us Luck.
Yet Albert Einstein said that “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
Then are using superstitions- that are done over and over again expecting the SAME result, Sanity?
Or can we see that beliefs have strong power. Tiger Woods quote -My mind is my biggest asset. ...
Did you ever have a lucky rabbit’s foot as a child? I remember having one that my grandfather gave to me and I am sure he spun a wild tale about it and how if I keep it with me, no bad can happen to me. Then nothing bad happened to me that week. So, I gave the power to the rabbit’s foot as the reason. So why wouldn’t we believe in the power of an object.
There is a placebo effect in research of a medications effectiveness, that their efficacy must reach a higher level than he group that were given a sugar pill to show that the medicine works better than our own imagined beliefs in a sugar pill.
We like the things to stay the same, but is that possible?
I could say the same for Obsessive compulsive disorder. It lowers people anxiety when they have an urge to have things in a certain order or check the door 3 times before they leave. It calms their anxiety.
Here are some of the most popular superstitions to team sports:
Wearing their favorite team jersey, t-shirt, benie, cap, pajamas, poncho to the game for luck (some people won’t even wash the pajamas, socks, or even blanket (some people won’t even wash them an entire season afraid they will wash away the team’s luck.)
How about Wearing certain lucky colors or numbers
Wearing a team cap in a certain way…cap forward, cap backwards or some even flip their cap from forwards to backwards depending on if their team is ahead or behind at the time.
The list goes on with rituals that fans feel they must do to avoid a catastrophe for their team.
Another interesting superstition AFTER the game has been played, has to do with the stock market. It is believed that if an NFC team wins, the market and economy will do better during the year.
Since I live in the Tampa area and I Love Tom Brady, I am obvious jaded, even if I love watching a young quarterback who is making history in front of our eyes with Patrick Mahomes.
My theory on superstitions is that it gives us a since of inclusion in the game and a sense of control over the uncontrollable.
And biggest of all I think we may understand that success is developing habits that will endure to help us to be successful.
Tom Brady has done unbelievable well, going into the 2000 NFL draft, no one expected great things from Tom Brady. The Patriots selected him 199th overall pick, but the quarterback would Will himself to success.
He started his rookie year as the fourth quarterback on the depth chart but, the same thing he did at Michigan, worked his way into the back-up role. When Drew Bledsoe went down at the start of the 2001 season, Brady was the next man up. He would change NFL history forever. Talking about the G.O.A.T. Greatest of all Time. Was this luck?
Since THAT first appearance, Brady has led the New England Patriots to six Super Bowl titles; the quarterback has been the MVP for four of those games, and he has done virtually everything you can do on a football field.
Tom Brady’s keys to success: Luck, superstition or hard work?
Throughout his football career, Tom Brady has never been the most physically gifted quarterback. He doesn’t run. A great deal of his success stems from his willingness to work hard and refusal to be anything less than the best. He is vegan and his diet in his book on why he is able to be the oldest quarter back in the league, he gives credit to his diet. But even he has one lucky charm.
Despite the advances of technology, Brady refuses to change his shoulder pads. His current pair actually dates back to his time at Michigan.
“I’ve worn them for 25 years,” he explained on Quick Slants Podcast. “They’ve gotten reconditioned a little bit, but I think once you find something you like, you kind of stick with it. I’ve always kind of liked the way they felt, the shape of them. People have tried to put me in a lot of other ones.”
For this quarterback, the familiarity means that he doesn’t have to think about anything besides his passes. “I’ve been wearing the same thing for, you know, forever,” he said. “You gets used to one thing, one feel.” Given his success, no one can blame Brady for keeping things the same.
One year ago, Patrick Mahomes was one of many quarterback prospects, forced to endure and endless array of visits, drills and offseason activities in the hopes of being drafted by an NFL team.
He was asked about his emotions of last year? He said that “This year is so much more relaxed. I get to enjoy things, much more compared to before where you’re just trying to get drafted. I wasn’t necessarily nervous, but I was just very focused. Like I said, it was all business. I was kid, but as I grew up and started really falling in love with football, I focused solely on that.
Ever since those days, have you developed any pre-game rituals at all? Mahomes said “I don’t necessarily have any pre-game rituals, but I’ve worn the one sleeve in every single game I’ve ever started. That’s pretty much the only superstitious thing I do. It goes all the way back to my junior year of high school when I first started for the varsity team. I was out there with a single sleeve in Denver when it was only 11 degrees.
Neither of the super athletes were successful by wishing it to be so, or using superstitions, they develop success habits.
What I am taking away from Brady and Mahomes, is that Brady “willed” his way to success with hard work and always doing his best, and Mahomes loving the game and completely obsessed and focused on it.
What both of these super stars have in common is a will to win. Superstition or not, they have developed daily skills that have worked to get to the level of success that they have developed.
But, they both keep a lucky charm with them just in case. I think it is the feeling of success of having the lucky charm with them, it is the emotion of confidence that the charm gives them.
And the reason that we have superstitions, or rituals is to give us a sense of familiar, a sense of confidence and an emotion that we can relate back to a prior success and anchor that feeling of success through that object each time so that it has become part of a success habit and a feeling of security. Even a blankie as a child serves the purpose of feeling more security and comfort. We all need that. I hope you can use these as success habits for your life and to have your team win.
Colin Powell, prior Secretary of state: If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception; it is a prevailing attitude. -
If Superstitions are the precursor to repeating daily habits for success, then let us keep the success rituals going in our everyday life.
So instead of doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result, how about keep doing the things that drive success over and over again to continue your success.

In this episode Joanne Williams, LCSW discusses with Becky Curran Kekula after 1,000 applications. 100 interviews. Four months. Three temporary positions. This may sound like the premise for this holiday season’s new comedy - but it’s not. It is, however, the real-life experience of Becky Curran Kekula, who ended up working behind the scenes in the film industry for the first part of her career.
Becky is an international motivational speaker and advocate for inclusion, who also happens to have dwarfism! She has spoken at over 300 venues such as companies, government agencies, and schools.
She serves as the Director of Disability Equality Index at Disability: IN, as the leading nonprofit resource for business disability inclusion worldwide. Working to empower hiring managers to practice rigorous self-awareness of unconscious biases and related risks in order to enable fair and equitable people decisions, learn how unconscious bias can affect the hiring process.
Summary of today Podcast:
- What would be helpful for parents to know?
- How can the general public increase their awareness in order to be informed of respectful behavior?
- What we can do and not assume in the grocery store?
Question for today is? Do you drive and where do you find your clothes? She uses pedal extensions, and she does deactivate the air bags. She goes to regular stores; she buys capris and short sleeves and at times gets alterations.
Becky joins us today Advocating for disability /dwarfism inclusion in the workplace. Dwarfism is short stature that results from a genetic or medical condition. The average adult height among people with dwarfism is 4 feet.
Becky tells her story and the challenges she faced while trying to enter the workplace. What accommodations did you need? She worked at a talent agency for 5 years, now she works in corporate America for disability inclusion. At Disability: IN. She is married for 1 ½ years to a person with dwarfism. No children currently. Children are possible.
Today we discuss what Becky sees personally in the workplace and ways to Educate and inspire our listeners to actively practice self-awareness and acceptance of differences.
- Ways to help in the grocery store? “Ask is there something I can help you with and I’m here if you need anything? Put it out there that you are willing to help? Don’t assume they can’t do something; everyone wants to feel empowered to take care of themselves.
Discussed a quote from Peter Dinklage an actor who has dwarfism from the Game of Thrones and reactions to his Stature in public. But, the difference Becky feels as an advocate or voice for empowerment, where Peter Dinklage, wants his work to speak for him, not his stature.
She suggests for parents to find a specialist, Little people of America., LPAonline.org for medical or social Support. Or find a trusted nonprofit program to improve lives, “Helping with pride more than fixing the conditions.”
The verbiage some people with Dwarfism do not prefer is using the word midget, Some find it offensive. Seeing everyone as an individual not as one specific attribute.
Becky has a special offer to our listeners today a Virtual speech presentation. She can be reached at:

In *this episode Joanne Williams, LCSW discusses with* Simon Chadwick a South African born, British educated, American citizen. Grew up as the son of a prominent anti-apartheid activist, lived in two totalitarian societies so African and Kenya and sees it happening in the USA. He has a Career as CEO in Italy, UK and USA. Owner of a firm of management consultants. Intensely interested in and concerned about politics and society in modern-day America.
His book ‘For the People: A Citizen’s Manifesto to Shaping Our Nation’s Future’ A guide to start a conversation to heal American divisions.
So today we focus: Solutions for building a safer more secure society to reduce our common anx. While creating a shared reality that we all want to live by.
Summary of today Podcast:
- The basic contract that exists in a democracy that we hold dear that we may have forgotten we do have to work from
- How fragile this contract can be when authoritarianism takes hold
- How authoritarian rulers all have a psychopathology that drives their need to be right and a mindset that is a challenge to their very core self that needs to be protected at all costs.
- How fear can be used to divide us, but security unites us.
Question for today is? How to open up conversations between democrats and Republicans and Americans to have a common reality. American Tribes and same values
Simon Chadwick shared his life story of a Living in So. Africa, where his father was clergy, jailed and exiled for working with Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu for apartheid justice.
Simon wrote his book as a guide to not allow what happened in South Africa happen in America, as he saw the red flags of authoritarian rise since 2015.
In a democratic society, there is a social contract between government and electors: government provides a framework of security in return for payment of taxes and observance of reasonable laws so that all can be long and thrive. “Security” derives from the Latin word “securitas”, which can be translated as “freedom from fear”. In modern society, fear (or anxiety) is not just something that is physical. It can relate to economic anxiety, ill health, lack of education and opportunity, the environment (small and large), and security in old age. It can be rooted in discrimination and oppression. The social contract requires an equitable framework for all people – government “of the people, by the people, for the people”.
This Social contract between the government is missing the safety net so that the American people can live within the framework of security that the government is supposed to hold sacred for the people to be able to go to work and pursue happiness. It has broken down, since the loss of labor unions, no more pensions, or health benefits and good enough paying jobs to own a home or keep in business.
In America a real safety net has been eroding for the last 50 years, since President Ronald Reagan. It was about Individualism-pull yourself up by your own bootstraps, it is the individual’s fault, if they don’t have a job or pension. Many disenfranchised workers, that lost their good union jobs in steel, manufacturing, car industry were left out to dry, without re-training or finding better jobs. They watch their jobs go over seas for lower waged jobs to replace them. There have been years of a slow decline of mostly white males losing jobs, status and they may feel resentment and angry and want someone to blame.
They may blame the government or someone that has been more disenfranchised for longer than them, black and brown people they can again beat up and feel superior too.
Then on Jan. 6th, 2021 there were white supremacists invading the US capital in the name of the President of the US. Who is someone admired for his power, and willing to do everything he can to keep his power.
The last 20 years the republican party policies have been more toward more authoritarian rule. Part of why that works is that someone will take care you. Anxiety is a product of insecurity. We all need and seek security so that, ultimately, we can belong and succeed. Look at Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs.
What can we do as Americans to restore our Democratic ways:
- One way is to listen to know the disenfranchised person’s story. Listen and ask questions to understand their story, not to change their mind, but to understand. Present another side with facts.
Use these 3 Principals:
3 Principals that Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu used in So. Africa in apartheid to have a peaceful transition of power.
- Always use Nonviolence means
- Always stick together. Other countries step in to boycott and pressure the country
- Always Speak from Love
3.Be involved and speak up and use your voice
4.Find ways to restore belonging and Unity, with your neighbors and family members who disagree.
5.Focus on solutions for increased consciously awareness turning away from it only about me, to us mentality. Understanding that we at a cross point.
6.Commit to a shared reality of what we want as a country. Democracy of the many decide the rules and laws, or autocratic ruler wants few to have power. You must pick a side.
All anti-social personalities or Psychopaths need someone to say no to them. Like any bully they need someone to stand up to them.
If you see any of these behaviors, beware and see it as a red flag.
There are Psychopathic tendencies, one sturdy found, in 20% of our Corporate leaders.
A Psychopath has a need to protect their beliefs, that they are right at all costs, they want power to the few, politician and corporation instead of the people in the republic with building more labor unions and policies that support basic human rights, like health care, voting rights, nondiscrimination of all types of people, including immigrates, who are the backbone of our country and have always been?
Psychopathic tendencies they can feel Threatened- first response is to blame. This is a defense against feeling they have a part in this issue.
There are women leaders in the world that have done a good job with Covid 19 like New Zealand, Finnish countries, where they have more Social conscious awareness.

Mental health Service Dogs, Service dogs for panic attacks, Psychiatric service animal, Psychiatric Support Dog. Psychiatric Service Dog (PSD) are just some of the names of a new class of Service animal that is born out of the changing for emotional support animals that a new regulation by the DOT announced on Dec. 2, 2020 for airline travel.
Summary of todays Podcast:
-
Changes for Emotional support animals and airline travel
-
New rules for Airlines travel with a Psychiatric Service Dog (PSD)
- Who and How to qualify for a PSD
- Service Dog Training
- Ways Psychiatric Service dog help with Panic Attacks and PTSD and depression
Question of the day is: What is the only question that a person can ask someone to determine if they have a psychiatric service dog?
I was so relieved when I found out about having my cute little furry Emotional support Animal (ESA) fly with me by federal laws for airlines. I could take my dog with me and have him on my lap, if I had a letter from my therapist stating I need my dog to fly with me because I have anxiety, I can take him with me. That is no longer the case now. This is a big loss for many to be able to take your furry friend with you.
The 2 laws are for airline travel and housing and they have been around for a long time:
- For Housing-The Fair Housing Act.1973- FHA was enacted 47 years ago for people with a disability, physical, or emotional to have their animal with them in housing and to not be discriminated against. There are no changes to this law.
- For Air Travel- the Air Carriers Access Act (ACAA) 1986-enacted 3 years ago. Enables you to bring an animal, mostly dog or cat on the plane with you. To Be on your lap the entire flight, or at your feet outside of a carrier.
12-2-20 the Department of Transportation has changed the regulations. No more ESAs on planes, they are considered pets. But date when this will take effect.
The new Classification is a Psychiatric Service Dog (PSD). Up to 2 dogs, but only dogs, no other kind of animals. They must meet more stringent requirements and a DOT form is needed to the completed attesting by penalty of a felony that your dog is “trained” to perform a task that helps you with your psychological symptoms. The person can train the dog themselves or have a professional train them or the animal could have intuitively trained themselves to recognize and respond and alleviate the client’s psychological symptoms.
For example, Training for a Psychiatric Service Dog for Panic attacks, the dog might notice when you are starting to get anxious, even before the you do. The dog must respond, for instance, comes over and licks at you, or puts him head in your lap and this alerts you to your rising anxiety before it escalates to a panic attack and this calms you down, this would be an example of being trained to perform a task.
Or training for a Psychiatric Service Dog for depression could be that the dog lick or paws at you to wake you up, since one of the symptoms of depression can be sleeping to much and you dog comes and gets you out of bed, that is trained to do a task.
The examples could go on and on for all the different ways a dog could be defined as a PSD.
Here are more examples:
- Helps Calms you from having a more severe panic attack
- Takes you out of an overwhelming situation from PTSD triggers
- Calms you in crowds by being a barrier between you and others
- Brings you back from dissociative state
- Gets between you and others to provide space
- Nudges you to keep moving in social situations or crowds
- Helps to get you out of bed, when depressed or helps you overwhelm state
- Licks your face to calm or bring you back to reality
- Lays on you when having panic attack to apply pressure
- Comes to calm an Autistic person before an episode worsens
5 benefits of have a certified PSD is that they can go with you into
- Public places
- Stores, Hotels
- Restaurants
- Fly in a plane with you in the cabin, within your space with no fees
- Be in no pet house, without weight or breed restrictions or pet rents.
If you believe your animal helps you with one of the above. Then you are prequalified for next step to get a certified PSD.
If you want to get a certified PSD by a mental Health professional, then an evaluation of your symptoms and need for one is the next step. For Housing this may be required. Many clients want the certification by me as a Licensed Mental Health Professional with my specialty of certifying for an ESA or a PSD to receive an Official letter or a Photo ID certifying that they meet the law. This way clients with anxiety are relieved to have the paperwork and not be questioned.
By the law the only question that can be asked is How is your dog trained to help you with a task? Or what task is your dog trained to help you with. On our PSD letters and ID’s that wording is written directly on it, so that there is not question what can be asked.

Why don’t we dream anymore? Or why did we stop dreaming? When was the last time you spent time, just imagining- Imaging-seeing-creating thinking about our goals, wants and dreams? I believe because someone said get real, get your head in the game and stop that daydreaming all the time. Maybe some truth to that we are really avoiding our everyday dull humdrum life by imagining a better life instead of working on one. Maybe that is why we have the New Year’s tradition at least once a year. Dream again.
I remember imagining I would be a physiotherapist as a kid. I would help people walk again. I thought it was a cool name to say and the thought of helping people really resonated with me. Do you remember your first dreams, the classic fireman or nurse? All helping professions. There is something inside us that is yelling to get out. When did that voice quiet down for you? Or do you still hear it yelling out to you to achieve it now? 2/3 of people were found to not be engaged in their work.
Think about it. What if you chose this year to actualize a dream to feel success at something that really matters to you? If 2020 showed us anything that life can change in an instant and never be the same again. Take some time to think about what is important to you.

Listen to the profound Jim Rohn, the late personal development legend. Rohn said something that left me stunned, says Ayodeji Awosika In his article Use the ‘5-Year Rule’ to Create the Future You Want A proven process for building your dream life Rohn believed that whatever it is you want to do to change your life — start a business, build a brand, master a skill, or create an amazing network — you could do it in the span of five years. “Five years doesn’t seem like a ton of time,” So, in that moment he thought that 5 years was doable and seemed reasonable to commit to. Where will you be in 5 years? Either way you will be doing something, why not focus on what you really want to create. Let’s look at some actually proven things you can do. The part of my formal psychological training kicked in to realize that with positive reinforcement and repetition creates success, which creates more positive reinforcement of liking the good feelings that success creates with that strong commitment to continue and then the belief is created, that I can achieve something once I put these elements together. That is using brain science to motivate us to reach our goals. I have used this method to counsel 1000’s of my clients unknowingly that this was the pathway that inspires us to reach our goals and have now created a fun way to achieve goals. The components had to start within each of us for a life purpose and meaning to life. That is what brings us happiness and excitement. ½ of people were found to be unhappy with their careers. Is that you? 50%?? If you are ready to make some changes here are some things you can start today to use: 3 questions to ask yourself to get you going and in the Success Zone I call it. Find out what is not right for you? Write these down. 1. What am I good at? Or what are my strengths? What comes Naturally to me? Ask trusted friends or family. 2. How do I learn the best? Quietly, alone, in a Team? Under stress. How can I focus the easiest? 3. What are my norms and values that are critical I keep? They must match which ever path I take.
So, there is an element of time and persistence to make this goal come true. If you use those five years wisely, you can come out the other side of them exactly where you want to be. Here’s how to commit to the process.
Spend your first 90 days working on your new skill or path with reckless abandon. You’ll get a sense of what success looks like as you make progress, but more important, you’ll figure out whether or not you actually enjoy the thing you’re doing. If it turns out not to be a great fit, you can quit after 90 days without having wasted much time.
An alternative is to use the Rule of 100: Do something 100 times to get good at it. Write 100 blog posts. Shoot 100 videos (something I recently accomplished with my new YouTube channel), record 100 podcasts, pitch 100 potential new clients. Don’t focus on making each one perfect; just focus on doing your thing, over and over. At the beginning, it’s a volume game.
Research shows that it takes, on average, 66 days to form a new habit to do something for 66 days or 6,000, but you’ll never make a change if you don’t have a good reason. What drives change? Pain or pleasure. At some point, you simply can’t stand your current behavior or situation, and you need to do something about it. Move away or towards something new.
The habits I adopted as a result may seem like small improvements, with insignificant daily returns. But because
What is behind this goal. Are you moving away from something painful or toward something exciting and has a passion driving you??
You choose. Take the time to really look at this, either direction will get you there. Did you procrastinate at school, so you had the pressure to get it done? Or were you ahead of needing it done, so you did not feel the pressure or pain? You need to know yourself. Which drives you?
How could we possibly be excited about a new life purpose. From Darius Foroux, article, “Say yes to your Passions and No to Everything Else”. 1. Set three daily priorities
This is one of the best productivity strategies there is. Focus is what leads to results. It’s the thing that will bring you closer to achieving your short- and long-term goals. But how do you focus when your days are filled with endless distractions? By limiting your options. Each morning be clear with yourself about what you want to achieve. Then commit to completing three or four small, but essential, tasks — anything beyond is a bonus.
Push through the suck In the beginning, you won’t be very good at the new skill you’re trying to learn or the path you’re trying to forge. You might just be trying to survive. Most people quit in this phase. Don’t be one of them. Why? Because one day, you won’t just get a little better and become a little more successful—you’ll be much better and experience a lot more success. This is where you desire for the outcome MUST be stronger than the suck factor. What is your desire that you MUST reach?
Check off with your progress everyday, every 7 days and reward yourself at 30 days 3 months 9 months 18 months. Your rewards will make this doable, if they are big enough to keep you going, but easiest enough to not make it a big deal. This is where the brain science kicks in and it works to get reinforced even by simple things can hit our dopamine button in our brain for that little hit that will keep us feeling good, as we move towards a goal.
Even a gold star or a check mark, if that makes you feel accomplished and on the right track. Rewards are a must, just like a paycheck, is necessary to keep us in the game.
This is a piece of advice from reading Peter Drucker, author of Managing Oneself: Use 18-month benchmarks to track your overall progress. This length of time is long enough to give you enough data, but not so long that you create unrealistic goals.
If you lose your way, remember The One Thing The One Thing by entrepreneur Gary Keller teaches a simple rule to help you stay focused and productive: Ask yourself the question, “What’s the one thing you can do, such that by doing it, everything else will be easier or unnecessary?” You can use this system to reverse engineer long-term goals into actionable goals and key performance indicators to work on in the short to intermediate term.
When you break things down to the present moment and focus on the immediate future, you’ll look up five years later to see that you’ve achieved a level of progress even you didn’t think possible. Your skills compound, like an investment account. But first you have to start.
This can take some trial and error or time to cement what is just right for you. But, Critical to get into the Success Zone.
What are you ready for this new year. Write down the 3 questions: What are my strengths? How do I learn or achieve in the best way? What are my values that are a necessity to have to feel the accomplishments feeling I am looking for.
If your old thought patterns are the reason that you give up or aren’t finding your niche yet. Maybe its time to reach out for some help. Or find an accountability coach or join a course that can help you with that clearing out the doubts between your ears.
I will be starting a new goal this January with a goal focused course that has steps for the achievable believable goals to reach, using brain science to motivate you to the finish line of mission accomplished and there is no better feeling than reaching a goal and feeling successful, no matter how small.

In this episode Joanne Williams, LCSW discusses How this year Christmas is more for giving forgiveness than for giving gifts.
Summary of today Podcast:
- Ways to celebrate this Christmas with more love and forgiveness in your heart
- How stress indicates that we are not letting go and how resiliency can help
- 8 Tools for simply forgiving self or others
- Question for today is? Why should forgiveness be part of Christmas?
In this episode Joanne Williams, LCSW discusses How this year Christmas can be more for Giving forgiveness and finding resiliency than other for giving gifts.
Oprah says, “Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could have been any different, it's accepting the past for what it was, and using this moment and this time to help yourself move forward.”
We have had a year like no other. An election that some don’t want to let go of with authoritarian roots being exposed against our Democracy, a Pandemic that seems like it will never end. Families with sick or dying family members, who may have just had a birthday party or wedding and never thought people might die from Covid 19 from coming to a party.
Social unrest that has thrown the blanket off a long history of persistent and ugly battering of human rights in our America.
Now we have one of the most stressful months of the year with expectation of giving gifts and being merry, with businesses dying, unemployment soaring and a supportive government nowhere to be found. Where is the hope? The joys of the Holiday Season? Can Christmas Music cheer us up?
We do have a choice to focus on all the bad that has happened this year or choose to look at ways to let go of the hurt and heartache and bounce forward into a new year with or without Covid in the rear-view mirror.
Christmas in my childhood was a complex time, happy and sad. My family traveled 2 hours to stay with my grandparents and cousins for a traditional Christmas. My father would turn up the car radio on the way to hear the Santa report of sightings and we 4 kids would look out the station wagon windows to look for Santa’s sleigh in the sky, as we drive past the smell of crude oil from the oil fields of Oklahoma. The Cousins played the piano and would sing carols. There was a warm fire in the living room fireplace. We shared and opened gifts on Christmas eve in the German Tradition and had one present from Santa to open on Christmas morning.
Sometimes all the Children would sleep on the floor of the dining room in sleeping bags and peep to see if Santa had come yet. I remember an old saying, my grandfather would say, so that we wouldn’t get to close to the fire. “Silly Willy curls and sashes, fell in the fire and burned to ashes, by and by the room grew chilly, but no one came to stir up Willy.” That is such a troubling image for a child. Why would a sweet grandfather recite that saying to young children? But that was the worry, or the fear of bad things can happen at any moment, instead of hearing reassuring and comforting thoughts, that your family will always be there for you.
We remember things very vividly from our childhood. How are the children of this year going to remember it? Will they remember it with pleasant memories or of fear and hearing their parents fighting over an election, or financial struggles or of unity, forgiveness and finding ways to bounce back with resiliency and compassion, with their reassurance and hope.
Christmas is a tradition around the story of the birth of Jesus, the head of the Christian church and believed to be the son of God. His last words on the cross that killed him were. “Please Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do”
So, when is forgiveness the focus of His Holiday celebration? I think we are confused like Silly Willy and somehow, we fell in the fire, of remembering those last word to be sharing around forgiving. Not FOR Giving gifts. But forgiving ourselves and each other, as the gift of the season. This year we need it more than ever.
What are some ways to forgive from an Article the Power of Forgiving Dr. Tyler VanderWeele, co-director of the Initiative on Health, Religion, and Spirituality at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and from Robert Enrights “8 Keys to Forgiveness”
The power of Forgiveness teaches how to overcome lingering bad feelings toward someone who did you wrong.
Almost everyone has experienced being wronged by someone. It could be a former co-worker, friend, or family member. But hanging on to those negative feelings can do great harm to Your health.
"Forgiving a person who has wronged you is never easy but dwelling on those events and reliving them over and over can fill your mind with negative thoughts and suppressed anger," says Dr. Tyler VanderWeele. "Yet, when you learn to forgive, you are no longer trapped by the past actions of others and can finally feel free."
Learning to let go
There are two sides to forgiveness: decisional and emotional. Decisional forgiveness involves a conscious choice to replace ill will with good will. Replace that thought will a forgiving thought. "You no longer wish bad things to happen to that individual," says Dr. VanderWeele. "This is often quicker and easier to accomplish." Than emotional forgiveness,
For emotional forgiveness, you move away from those negative feelings and no longer dwell on the emotions of the wrongdoing. "Emotional forgiveness is much harder and takes longer, as it's common for those feelings to return on a regular basis," says Dr. VanderWeele. "This often happens when you think about the offender, or something triggers the emotional memory, or you still suffer from the adverse consequences of the action." This may need professional help, it there was trauma from this event. Please reach out to learn some letting go skills for PTSD. In podcast 26, I cover some of those skills.
Practicing forgiveness can have powerful health benefits. Observational studies, and even some randomized trials, suggest that when you forgive you can have lower levels of depression, anxiety, and hostility; reduced substance abuse; higher self-esteem; and greater life satisfaction. Yet, forgiving people is not always easy.
"It's not that men can't forgive, but for some it's more of a struggle," says Dr. VanderWeele. It's not clear why, but perhaps men have learned to suppress certain emotions. "It also can be difficult for men to admit to themselves that there was this great offense that still bothers them," says Dr. VanderWeele. Or if it is PTSD avoidance is one of the symptoms. So, please reach out.
| Practice small acts of forgiveness One way to get more comfortable with forgiveness is to practice small acts in everyday life, says Dr. Tyler VanderWeele. For example, if someone is rude or cuts you off in traffic, use that moment to recognize the wrong, realize it wasn't directed at you personally, and forgive him or her on the spot. "This way you also can learn to immediately stop the negative reaction from progressing into stronger emotions that can ruin your day. |

Here are 8 Keys to Forgiveness by Robert Enright
When another person hurts us, it can upend our lives.
Sometimes the hurt is very deep, such as when a spouse or a parent betrays our trust, or when we are victims of crime or other traumas, or when we’ve been harshly bullied. Especially for a long time.
Anyone who has suffered a grievous hurt knows that when our inner world is badly disrupted, it’s difficult to concentrate on anything other than our turmoil or pain. When we hold on to hurt, we are emotionally and cognitively hobbled, and our relationships suffer. This is why with PTSD disorder; we need help to get out of our heads to think clearer on a emotional direction to let go or feel better.
Forgiveness is strong medicine for this. When life hits us hard, there is nothing as effective as forgiveness for healing deep wounds. I would not have spent the last 30 years of my life studying forgiveness if I were not convinced of this.
Many people have misconceptions about what forgiveness really means—and they may misunderstand it. Others may want to forgive but wonder whether or not they truly can.
Forgiveness does not necessarily come easily; but it is possible for many of us to achieve it if we have the right tools and are willing to put in the effort.
Below is an outline of the basic steps involved in following a path of forgiveness, adapted from Robert Enright’s book, 8 Keys to Forgiveness. As you listen to these steps, think about how you might adapt them to your own life.
Know what Forgiveness is and Why it Matters
Forgiveness is about goodness, about extending mercy to those who’ve harmed us, even if they don’t “deserve” it.
Does any family member come to mind this Christmas? That you could practice on? A person that doesn’t even know that they harmed or offended you and you wouldn’t fear, hurting their feelings, trying some of the skills on them.
It is not about finding excuses for the offending person’s behavior or pretending it didn’t happen. Nor is there a quick formula you can follow. Forgiveness is a process with many steps that often proceeds in a non-linear fashion.
But it’s well worth the effort. Working on forgiveness can help us increase our self-esteem and give us a sense of inner strength and safety. It can reverse the lies that we often tell ourselves when someone has hurt us deeply—lies like, I am defeated or I’m not worthy.
Forgiveness can heal us and allow us to move on in life with meaning and purpose. Forgiveness matters, and we will be its primary beneficiary.
A skill you can try on That person this Christmas is to imagine, him or her with a clown nose on their face every time they speak. It will change the emotional reaction to them and in that moment. Chose to see them differently, such as, his so pitiful, he didn’t even have the brains to hurt me. I interpreted that situations like he meant to. He just runs his mouth and it is all gibberish. Or agree to next time, say something to stick up for yourself, like you don’t know what you are talking about I see it this way. Almost saying anything, show you can for your self and you will feel better.
Studies have shown that forgiving others produces strong psychological benefits for the one who forgives. It has been shown to decrease depression, anxiety, unhealthy anger, and the symptoms of PTSD. But we don’t just forgive to help ourselves. Forgiveness can lead to psychological healing, yes; but, in its essence, it is not something about you or done for you. It is something you extend toward another person, because you recognize, over time, that it is the best response to the situation. It is a choice.
Become “forgivingly Fit”
Practice forgiveness, it helps if you have worked on positively changing your inner world by learning to be what I call “forgivingly fit.” Just as you would start slowly with a new physical exercise routine, it helps if you build up your forgiving heart muscles slowly, incorporating regular “workouts” into your everyday life.
You can start becoming more fit by making a commitment to do no harm—in other words, making a conscious effort not to talk disparagingly about those who’ve hurt you after the fact. You don’t have to say good things; but, if you refrain from talking negatively, it will feed the more forgiving side of your mind and heart.
You can also make a practice of recognizing that every person is unique, special, and irreplaceable. You may come to this through religious beliefs or a humanist philosophy or even through your belief in compassion. It’s important to cultivate this mindset of valuing our common humanity, so that it becomes harder to discount someone who has harmed you as unworthy.
You can show love in small ways in everyday encounters—like smiling at a harried grocery cashier or taking time to listen to a child. Giving love when it’s unnecessary helps to build the love muscle, making it easier to show compassion toward everyone.
Perhaps you can refrain from honking when someone cuts you off in traffic or hold your tongue when your spouse snaps at you and extend a hug instead.
Sometimes pride and power can weaken your efforts to forgive by making you feel entitled and inflated, so that you hang onto your resentment as a noble cause. Try to catch yourself when you are acting from that place, and choose forgiveness or mercy, instead. Forgiveness Institute website: www.internationalforgiveness.com.
Address your Inner Pain-
It’s important to figure out who has hurt you and how. This may seem obvious; but not every action that causes you suffering is unjust.
To become clearer, you can look carefully at the people in your life—your parents, siblings, peers, spouse, coworkers, children, and even yourself—and rate how much they have hurt you. Perhaps they have exercised power over you or withheld love; or maybe they have physically harmed you.
These hurts have contributed to your inner pain and need to be acknowledged. Doing this will give you an idea of who needs forgiveness in your life and provide a place to start.
There are many forms of emotional pain; but the common forms are anxiety, depression, unhealthy anger, lack of trust, self-loathing or low self-esteem, an overall negative worldview, and a lack of confidence in one’s ability to change. All of these harms can be addressed by forgiveness; so it’s important to identify the kind of pain you are suffering from and to acknowledge it. The more hurt you have incurred, the more important it is to forgive, at least for the purpose of experiencing emotional healing.
You may be able to do this accounting on your own, or you may need the help of a therapist.
However, you approach looking at your pain be sure you do it in an environment that feels safe and supportive. Please reach out to me, If needed, I can give you guidance where to find a therapist you insurance will pay for or become a client, to work on that specific stumbling block to your peace of mind.
Develop a Forgiving Mind through Empathy
Scientists have studied what happens in the brain when we think about forgiving and have discovered that, when people successfully imagine forgiving someone (in a hypothetical situation), they show increased activity in the neural circuits responsible for empathy. This tells us that empathy is connected to forgiveness and is an important step in the process.
If you examine some of the details in the life of the person who harmed you, you can often see more clearly what wounds he carries and start to develop empathy of compassion for him.
First, try to imagine him as an innocent child, needing love and support. Did he get that from the parents? Research has shown that if an infant does not receive attention and love from primary caregivers, then he will have a weak attachment, which can damage trust.
It may prevent him from ever getting close to others and set a trajectory of loneliness and conflict for the rest of his life.
You may be able to put an entire narrative together for the person who hurt you—from early child through adulthood—or just imagine it from what you know. You may be able to see her physical frailties and psychological suffering and begin to understand the common humanity that you share.
Recognizing that we all carry wounds in our hearts can help open the door to forgiveness.
Find Meaning in Your Suffering
When we suffer a great deal, it is important that we find meaning in what we have endured. Without seeing meaning, a person can lose a sense of purpose, which can lead to hopelessness and a despairing conclusion that there is no meaning to life itself.
Instead, try to see how our suffering has changed us in a positive way.
Some people begin to think about how they can use their suffering to cope, because they’ve become more resilient or brave.
They may also realize that their suffering has altered their perspective regarding what is important in life, changing their long-range goals for themselves. Or see it as it made you the person that you are today because of it.
To find meaning is not to diminish your pain or to say, I’ll just make the best of it or All things happen for a reason.
Still, there are many ways to find meaning in our suffering. Some may choose to focus more on the beauty of the world or decide to give service to others in need. Some may find meaning by speaking their truth or by strengthening their inner resolve.
If I were to give one answer, it would be that we should use our suffering to become more loving and to pass that love onto others. Finding meaning, in and of itself, is helpful for finding direction in forgiveness.
When forgiveness is hard, call upon other strengths you have from faith to beliefs in old sayings.
Forgiveness is always hard when we are dealing with deep injustices from others. I have known people who refuse to use the word forgiveness because it just makes them so angry. That’s OK—we all have our own timelines for when we can be merciful. But if you want to forgive and are finding it hard, it might help to call upon other resources.
First remember that if you are struggling with forgiveness, that doesn’t mean you’re a failure at forgiveness. Forgiveness is a process that takes time, patience, and determination. Try not to be harsh on yourself but be gentle and foster a sense of quiet within, an inner acceptance of yourself. Try to respond to yourself as you would to someone whom you love deeply.
Surround yourself with good and wise people who support you and who have the patience to allow you time to heal in your own way. Also, practice humility—not in the sense of putting yourself down, but in realizing that we are all capable of imperfection and suffering.
Try to develop courage and patience in yourself to help you in the journey. Also, if you practice bearing small slights against you without lashing out, you give a gift to everyone—not only to the other person, but to everyone whom that person may harm in the future because of your anger. You can help end the cycle of inflicting pain on others.
If you are still finding it hard to forgive, you can choose to practice with someone who is easier to forgive. OR Alternatively, it can be better to focus on forgiving the person who is at the root of your pain—maybe a parent who was abusive, or a spouse who betrayed you. If these initial hurt impacts other parts of your life and other relationships, it may be necessary to start there.
Forgive Yourself
Most of us tend to be harder on ourselves than we are on others and we struggle to love ourselves. Or continue with self-abusive statement or act or continue the abuse that the other person started.
If you are not feeling lovable because of actions you’ve taken, you may need to work on self-forgiveness and offer to yourself what you offer to others who have hurt you: a sense of inherent worth, despite your actions.
In self-forgiveness, you honor yourself as a person, even if you are imperfect. If you’ve broken your personal standards in a serious way, there is a danger of sliding into self-loathing. When this happens, you may not take good care of yourself—you might overeat or oversleep or start smoking or engage in other forms of “self-punishment.” You need to recognize this and move toward self-compassion. Soften your heart toward yourself.
Develop a forgiving heart
When we overcome suffering, we gain a more mature understanding of what it means to be humble, courageous, and loving in the world. We may be moved to create an atmosphere of forgiveness in our homes and workplaces, to help others who’ve been harmed overcome their suffering, or to protect our communities from a cycle of hatred and violence. All of these choices can lighten the heart and bring joy to one’s life.
Some people may believe that love for another who’s harmed you is not possible. But, I’ve found that many people who forgive eventually find a way to open their hearts.
This kind of transformation can create a legacy of love that will live on long after you’re gone. And be one of the greatest gifts you can give for this Holiday Season.
Happy Holidays

Our next podcast: New Year’s Goals in a Brave new time
See other podcasts at AnxietySimplified.net
This is a summary of today’s podcast on Signs of stress and signs of PTSD. We will start with:
- Definition of PTSD
- How pervasive is PTSD in on Americans?
- Discussion of PTSD affects
- Examples of events that you choose if you think they meet the definition of PTSD
- My story
- A new type of traumatic stress possible being created by the pandemic
- Effective Treatment options
Let’s get started with definition of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder PTSD Core issues are anxiety and depression, lack of trust, Victim thinking and avoidance.
It seems like Trouble or bad things follows me and just happens to me. I told my story of a life with PTSD memory of a young child whose older brother tried to smother hand and drown me. I thought I might die.
95% of our mind are was wired by the time we are 18 yo to the beliefs of the parents and environment. I found a counselor saved my life from a life with an alcoholic fishermen husband from Maine and desperate to live a better, healthier life.
That was why I choose to become a counselor went back to get my graduate degree and have been a counselor now for 30 years. With trauma as by specialty to help other people.
Know the symptoms that create the victim thinking from PTSD, so you don’t get trapped by them or so you can become aware to make a different choice, once you are aware and know there is help
These are the Clinical symptoms out of our DSM Diagnostic manual to diagnosis PTSD. There are 5 sections, I will go over to see if you have some of these sx. If so, treatment is critical not to keep, making unhealthy thought habits going to cement this victim life style in place, because you don’t know what to do or never even know you have the sx of PTSD.
You must have the first criteria and if you don’t, there is not PTSD diagnosis. I hear from clients that think they must have PTSD because they were bullied, and in fear. Or the opposite, sexually abused but, I was never penetrated, so it can’t be abuse or have PTSD sx. Not necessarily true for both examples, or they could be true for both, it is the reaction to the event and how it has affected the person with symptoms.
1st criteria: You must have actually been exposed directly to a trauma that threatened death or serious injury or sexual violence.
For more than one month, the client has been experiencing symptoms of re-experiencing: 4 other section you must have At least 1 symptom:
1.Presence of Intrusion symptoms associated with the traumatic distressing memories of the traumatic events such as: Distressing dreams, Flash backs. Psychological distress, or a Physiological response to internal or external cues that resemble the trauma.
-
One of these: Avoidance of the distressing memories, thoughts or feelings associated with the trauma or Persistent avoidance of people, places, and things that reminds them of an associated memories or traumatic events.
-
2 or more of these: Negative alterations in cognitions and mood associated with traumatic events; Inability to remember an important aspect of the traumatic event, Negative beliefs about self or the world because of the traumatic event. Persistent, distorted beliefs about the cause of the trauma. Marked diminished interest in significant activities, feeling of detachment or estrangement from others, Persistent inability to experience positive emotions.
4. 2 of these: Reactivity or arousal associated with the trauma that is evidenced by: Irritable mood, reckless destructive behaviors, Hyper-vigilance, exaggerated started response, problems with concentration and Sleep disturbance.
It can also have dissociative symptoms if feeling detached from reality or feeling of the world is unreal to you
This is the mental and physical anguish that the clients suffer, which can be traced back to a traumatic event. While PTSD affects both adults and children, the percentage among war veterans is significantly skewed. While PTSD is be found at a rate of about 9% in the general population, it shoots to as high as 30% among deployed and non-deployed war veterans.
PTSD symptoms can be psychological and behavioral. A patient may go through their trauma repeatedly in their nightmares and thoughts. Alternatively, they may completely avoid situations that remind them of the trauma or stay constantly over-vigilant. Such symptoms lead to sleep deprivation and sudden loss of temper.
Needless to say, a condition like PTSD has a negative impact on the quality of personal relationships with lack of trust in other and worst within yourself and performance at work with inability to communicate, socialize because of frustration and anger, irritability, that can be unintentionally targeted towards the partner, family or co-workers. Situations that would otherwise be non-consequential become big issues. It can lead to spats at work and even escalate to domestic violence.
The key is to identify the symptoms early, get help, and create a system of support to help.
I have found, from my specialty with trauma my 30 years as a mental health profession, you can learn to manage this, not cure this.
I consider this a brain injury from the trauma that you thought you were going to die and you brain has now been wired differently, to protect you in all ways.
But the good news is, if you wired this, you can rewire it.
Now because of the pandemic, we need to be aware of a new traumatic stress called Secondary Traumatic Stress when the stress overwhelms the coping mechanism leaving people feeling out of control and helpless. Continual exposure to the trauma, like health care or Mental Health workers or caregivers become depleted, exhausted, or worse self-destructive.
We are already seeing in with depression rates increasing and suicide rates increasing with caregivers. With many of the same sx as PTSD. And only 40% of the clients seek treatment. This treatable.
The best treatment is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)you can find Apps for and download to teach you skills to work with your symptoms. This is treatable.

In this episode Joanne Williams, LCSW discusses what she has learned, that most American DON’T know about who is paying for living situations or medical care before the end of life. A must listen for family.**
Summary of today Podcast: You are not dying yet or even close to deaths door, but you can’t walk well nor fix your own meals and fall often. Or who cares for your mother if she falls and breaks a hip and her spouse can’t care for her. What can you do and what are your choices?
- What can family do to help now?
- What are the choices for care?
- What does Medicare pay for and doesn’t pay for?
- Does Medical Insurance or Medicare pay for an assisted living facility?
- How much do An Assisted Living Facility cost?
- Can you pay for home care at $25 per hour?
- Does your Medical Power of Attorney make decisions for me before my death?
Question for today is? What are the choices I have for Assisted living cost?
My 90 yr. old neighbor has the fire department come at least 1-2 times per month to pick her up off the floor. But she refuses to leave her home. Her son visits almost daily. She has a caregiver daily, but the fire department and ambulances keep coming. What are the son’s choices?
This is a very typical scenario I heard, as I worked as a medial social worker for the largest medical group in Palm Springs, CA. This agency has worked on preventing Hospitalization, if more social services were given in the home I believe it has worked, since I started their program 10 years ago it is still functioning today. 70 % of people turning 65 can expect to use some form of Long-term care during their live according to AARP.
I have seen every kind of home situation possible, with 2 spouses struggle to keep the other one home, while this may be killing the other spouse. The families with children living 1000s of miles away and not caring or no able to offer any support to their parents. Even for the children that can offer support by financial assistance, it is trying.
This Podcast discusses what Medicare does pay for: What insurance pays for and what it doesn’t. Joanne Shares information about Medicare as the Insurance when you become 65 yo.bb
10 things that Medicare does pay for
Medicare advantage and “regular Medicare insurance”. Now is open enrollment, just for the next few weeks, you can’t change insurance unless you move.
1. Does pay for certain Number of days or weeks in a Nursing home. They pay only for “skilled care” or you start paying at the Average cost of $225 to a semiprivate room.
2. Hospice end of life care in your home
3. Palliative care, for pain relief when there are no cures
4. Respite care to give the caregiver a break.
5.Transportation to doctor appts. Speak to a License agent for the commercial agency that can offer any of the Medicare advantage programs.
6.Medical doctor visits
7.Hospital visits for a certain number of days
8. May pay for Home health aid
9. Home visits if you need a skilled nurse to come to change a bandage.
10.Physical therapy
What Medicare Doesn’t pay for:
Assisted Living facility that average $4000 per month or $48K per year.
Doesn’t pay for unlimited stay at a rehab or Nursing home to live.
Doesn’t pay for caregivers in your home. They average cost of 50K per year for in home care.
Look at the needs for care when you look at insurance coverage you need.
Advanced directive is the most important choice you can make ahead of time to make your wishes known. See Podcast # 24 On Having the End of Life Discussion with Family.
Alzheimer’s is increasing and is a terminal decrease of cognitive functions in that 80 % of the caregiver spouse succumbs to an illness or dies before the patient with dementia.
Emotional support animals can really help with agitation from Alzheimer’s.
These are the normal scenarios that happened over and over again. My job was to advise offer resources and choices ahead of the inevitable need for more care.
Children can help if they give $$ per month for a care giver, or day care, or a camera in the home to know what is really going on in the home.
Put alarms at Home Depot that are magnets, if the front door is opened or the bedroom door opens.
There are things you can do to help. Get ahead of the progression.

In this episode Joanne Williams, LCSW discusses the Nature of Mastering Patience, especially with Thanksgiving that might be without family at this Holiday.
Summary of today Podcast: Some things that we can do this Thanksgiving without our families getting together as we usually do. Resiliency, nurturing Patience are keys and doing some things that relieve stress.
- How we handle impatience comes with a high price if we don’t learn how.
- Are you afraid of being bored?
- Patience is a choice-
- Turn your impatience to Good Use
Question for today is? How can I change my impatience to being more patience?
Dr. Amad Massud from the Mayo Clinic Reports on CBS Sunday Morning on 10/25/20 says It is important to Master our Impatience for multiple reasons.
In a study it was found we are afraid of being bored so much so that 70% of participants in the study would rather receive an electric shock than be bored.
The opposite of Patience is not Impatience, it is anxiety, Illness, injury, addiction, Loneliness, and death. These are some of the high prices we pay for Impatience. You may say that this is extreme? Impatience creates anxiety as we wait. Loneliness with Covid isolation, because we want to get out of our houses more, it can cause Injury because of impulsiveness, road rage, increased addiction from the stress of changes from Covid and fears of succumbing to it, increase in deaths from explosive angry, that then can Increase heart attacks by 2-8 fold for the next few hours. This is serious. Have you noticed how your body feels after you get really angry? I have felt my temples pulsing and a surge of cortisol and adrenaline that almost feels like I have to “come down” from it. I am an impatient person, so I am really practicing these things, because I didn’t realize the damage this can do.
Impatience evil twin is stress. The stress of everyday life and your reaction to what happens to you in your everyday routine can increase blood pressure and changes to your Heart Rate. Think about waiting for a plane to come in, or not knowing what is happening to some one, impatience and stress have negative effects on our emotions and our physical body. Even For several hours after the call.
Impatience can have an effect even on our chromosomes. At the end of chromosomes are telomeres. From blood samples shows that Stress makes the telomeres smaller. Which when we have shorter or smaller Telomeres it shows aging of the chromosomes from stress. One thing that impatience does is increasing aging.
There are things that you can do to lower your impatience and stress. So lets talk about those:
Not having control over things on the outside can increase stress and impatience. But, we can Choose to be patient. Helping yourself live longer, happier, look younger and helping your family also live happier life by choosing to look at ways to increase your patience. Your life may depend on it.
Maybe your thanksgiving family gathering is at your sister’s house with her weird husband or “crazy uncle” Ed who drinks to much. Waiting for the food to be ready, can’t watch football in your favorite room and chair, because company is using it. Can you feel the impatience and gritting of the teeth starting and the tightening of your sphincter? You are just trying to get through the day.
This is a test of your ability to have patience and cope when your routine messed up, can’t have your favorite chair or the of your favorite team to watch that calms you down. Well, have a few drinks as you way to cope. Which lowers your inhibitions, and you say something that is hurt, that mays everyone uncomfortable.
Or worse, you can’t go to the traditional Thanksgiving, because of Covid. You are left alone or just you and your SO and you both just sink into your own corners and are sad and lonely.
1.How about make a coping plan before the day for what you can do?
- Create a new tradition. Something you want to do or some food that you never have because it isn’t “traditional”. Create Something to look forward to.
How does being ungrateful and stubborn about tradition ever Bring anything good things to the Table?
- Plan or think though what you CAN do. Take a drive to a scenic place. Take a brisk walk in the woods with the dog. Sit in nature for a while.
- What would feel exciting to you. Make it happen. Think about it and plan it.
- Enjoy doing something together with your SO that make you laugh, a new game or cooking a new recipe, just to smile and laugh, no pressure.
- Make something romantic and soothing with music or dancing. Karaoke
- Invite someone who makes you feel good when they are there.
-
“If your heart is broken, make art with the pieces."
― Shane Koyczan -
Resiliency can fire up your body. You don’t need to have fist fights with the corona virus, you can empower the billions of immune cells to fight with this virus and when you are resilient your immune cells are stronger in waging that war for you.
- Turn on your impatience to good use. If you want to. You can make a choice too. Make a decision to make yourself more relevant by learning and training ourselves about patience. Rise above impatience. Do this for yourself and your family. You will all be better off for it. Not with “white knuckles” to get through it truly find 1 thing you really can enjoy and make that bigger and fulfilling.
- Think about the harm that impatient does to your body. Your Increased Blood pressure and increased Heart rate and even your stress hormones. And resiliency training can lower your Blood pressure and Heart rate and cortisol level and boost you mood dramatically.
5.What is resiliency training? According to the Mayo clinic, “Resilience is your ability to adapt well and recover quickly after stress, adversity, trauma or tragedy. If you have a resilient disposition, you are better able to maintain poise and a healthy level of physical and psychological wellness in the face of life's challenges.
If you're less resilient, you're more likely to dwell on problems, feel overwhelmed, use unhealthy coping tactics to handle stress, and develop anxiety and depression.
You can develop resilience by learning to train your attention on more-positive aspects of your life. You use purposeful, trained attention to decrease negative thoughts in your mind and bring greater focus on the most meaningful aspect of an experience. It is being flexible and thoughtful to the complete experience not just what you don’t like
Resilience training focuses on four areas, including emotional, cognitive and mental, physical, and spiritual resilience. Training in these areas can improve your resiliency, enhance your quality of life, and decrease your stress and anxiety by teaching you to view life's inevitable challenges as opportunities.”
- There is a Japanese practice called Forest Bathing, being in the Forest allows us to be lost in the moment, where nothing exists. You can walk in a park. We respond to Nature. If you can be in Nature for just 15 minutes, it can help you master resiliency. Science is clear that just 15 minutes of walking in green space or a park lowers BP, HR and stress hormones.
- Even Virtually in meditation can work as well.
- Slowing down your life, will help for you to notice more that is around you. Give you a chance to enjoy more and appreciate what nature give us.
Rise above impatience, during this pandemic even without family for the Holiday and find ways to include family on Zoom, have them set a place for you anyways to be thought about and missed and have some fun with family in other ways.

In this episode Joanne Williams, LCSW discusses 10 Reasons We Need to Smile- Make A Conscious effort to smile every day.
Summary of today Podcast:
- Smiling Makes Us Attractive
- Smiling Relieves Stress
- Smiling Elevates Our Mood
- Smiling Is Contagious
- Smiling Boosts Your Immune System
- Smiling Lowers Your Blood Pressure
- Smiling Makes Us Feel Good
- Smiling Makes Us appear more Attractive.
- Smiling Makes You Seem Successful
- Smiling Helps You Stay Positive
Question for today is? Can Smiling make me feel better?
I love to Smile-I do this all the time and I feel I get positive response back from people. Especially babies. It is a fun test to play with. Smile at a baby at the supermarket and see their response.
But the pandemic has required wearing a mask and it covers over smiles. So what can we do? Make an experiment and see if people respond to you under your mask smiling? Smile anyways under the mask and send them good thought and vibrations. Smiling Makes Us Feel Good.
Studies have shown that smiling releases endorphins, natural painkillers, and serotonin. Together these three neurotransmitters make us feel good from head to toe. Not only do these natural chemicals elevate your mood, but they also relax your body and reduce physical pain.
Many see smiling simply as an involuntary response to things that bring you joy or laughter. While this observation is certainly true, Countless scientific studies have shed light on how the act of smiling can elevate your mood and the mood of those around you.
A strong link has been found between good health, longevity, and smiling. Most importantly, studies have shown that just the act of smiling (making the physical facial shapes and movements), whether the result of real joy or an act, can have both short- and long-term benefits on people's health and wellbeing.
- Smiling Makes Us Attractive you can use the attraction power of your smile to draw people in. We are naturally drawn to people who smile. There is a real physical attraction factor linked to the act of smiling.
- Smiling Relieves Stress Believe it or not, smiling can reduce stress even if you don't feel like smiling or even know that you're smiling! When you are stressed, take the time to put on a smile. You and those around you will reap the benefits. Stress can permeate our entire being, and can really show up in our faces. Smiling not only helps to prevent us from looking tired, worn down, and overwhelmed but can actually help reduce stress.
- Smiling Elevates Our Mood Smiling can trick the body into helping you elevate your mood because the physical act of smiling actually activates neural messaging in your brain.
Next time you are feeling down, try putting on a smile. There's a good chance your mood will change for the better. Smiling can trick the body into helping you elevate your mood because the physical act of smiling actually activates neural messaging in your brain.
A simple smile can trigger the release of neural communication boosting neuropeptides as well as mood-boosting neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin. Think of smiling like a natural anti-depressant.
- Smiling Is Contagious Smiling not only has the power to elevate your mood, but it can also change the moods of others and make things happier.
How many smiles have been described as having the power to lighten up the room? While it is certainly a beautiful sentiment, it carries a hint of truth. Smiling not only has the power to elevate your mood, but it can also change the moods of others and make things happier.
The part of your brain that is responsible for your controlling the facial expression of smiling is an unconscious automatic response area. Meaning that smiling can be completely unconscious, particularly when it comes to our habit of mimicking another person's smile. Yes, it is scientifically proven that smiles are "contagious!"
- Smiling Boosts Your Immune System The act of smiling actually helps the human immune system to function more effectively. Smiling can also boost your overall health. The act of smiling actually helps the human immune system to function more effectively. It is thought that when you smile, immune function improves because you are more relaxed (thanks to the release of certain neurotransmitters).
In addition to taking precautions like washing your hands, why not try to prevent the cold and flu by smiling?
6. Smiling Lowers Your Blood Pressure-Try this one yourself When you smile, there is a measurable reduction in your blood pressure. Give it a try if you have a blood pressure monitor at home. Sit for a few minutes, take a reading. Then smile for a minute and take another reading while still smiling. Do you notice a difference?
- Smiling Makes Us Feel Good Studies have shown that smiling releases endorphins, natural painkillers, and serotonin. Together these three neurotransmitters make us feel good from head to toe. Not only do these natural chemicals elevate your mood, but they also relax your body and reduce physical pain. Smiling is a natural drug.
-
Smiling Makes Us appear more Attractive. Not only can smiling make you more attractive it can also make you look more youthful. The muscles we use to smile also lift the face, making a person appear younger. So instead of opting for a facelift, just try smiling your way through the day—you'll look younger and feel better.
-
Smiling Makes You Seem Successful Studies have shown that people who smile regularly appear more confident, are more likely to be promoted, and are more likely to be approached. Try putting on a smile at meetings and business appointments. You might find that people react to you differently.
10. Smiling Helps You Stay Positive Try this test: Smile. Now try to think of something negative without losing the smile. It's hard, isn't it?
Even when a smile feels unnatural or forced, it still sends the brain and ultimately the rest of our body the message that "Life is Good!" Stay away from depression, stress, and worry by smiling.
How can you bring a smile to your face or find things in your day to be grateful for. No matter what. Do it for the next week to add 1 step to having in a happier life right now,

In this episode Joanne Williams, LCSW discusses: How do you know you are living the Great life. Taken from Barry Davret article from Medium.com
Question for today is? Does happiness and living a great life only include the material things that others see?
Summary of today Podcast:
- Do you measure you self-worth by how much your income, job title, possessions, and zip code?
- Do you stick with your passion? Make a character commitment.
- Do you recognize your mistakes and take responsibility for them and change your responses so that in the future this is not a mistake anymore it is a lesson in life.
- Do you take regular inventory of where you are and what it is that you really want to do so that you don’t have regrets at the end of your life.
- Can you admit to being wrong, or evaluate your position that may have changed as you mature?
- Do you make others feel joy, inspired, or grateful around you?
- Do you take 100% responsibility for your own actions and the results of your life choices?
- Do you use your emotions as your internal guidance system?
- Are you curious?
- Have you given up on conditional happiness?
Have you noticed your mood lately and where your mind goes when you listen to the news or listen to someone with a different perspective?
Does this help you live a better or happier life? I have a client who just told me about great things happening In her life new house, new great job with an obscene income, that is taking her to her dreams of what she THOUGHT she wanted for more income and better career. But she was overwhelmed and sad and tearful and her relationship is suffering. Why is she feeling this way when these are what we say we want and when our dreams are actually coming true?
We will Explore this. Do you ever listen to your own self talk? Or is that just to woo woo for you and don’t think it helps? Or think only crazy people talk to themselves. But, I would ask you to just notice and listen to what is going on beyond your obvious thoughts, that do become invisible, unless you listen to your own self talk. Are you kind and positive, like a good friend would say to you? Or are you saying very critical talk with judgements and messages that sound like a critical parents, or that old teacher that told you would never amount to anything.
We will look at 10 things that keep you away from your own happiness or satisfaction. Most people are not feeling satisfied or even hopeful to ever feel happy, like they did as a child. That glorious feeling of laying on your back in the grass and looking up at the clouds and dreaming and using your imagination to possibilities and the unknown. What happened? Pressure of work and family and the old thought patterns that are ingrained and invisible coming out to haunt you.
1. Do you measure you self-worth by how much your income, job title, possessions, and zip code? And even like my client I described, when she hit some of those targets, but she wasn’t happier for it. Most time when I wanted, I always craved just a bit more. A bigger boat, a bigger house, until you feel you have gotten enough and know that is not this not the answer.
2. Do you stick with your passion? Make a character commitment. Like my favorite quote of Joseph Campbell. Follow you passion. Joseph Campbell- Follow your bliss. following your Bliss- You will Put Yourself on a track that has been there all along waiting for you to use as your guiding Star.
3. Do you recognize your mistakes and take responsibility for them and change your responses so that in the future this is not a mistake anymore it is a lesson in life that we do as we grow and experience and try things to see what fits. What is our true passion. Or do you get embarrassed at your past. Maybe that shows your growth, to be proud when you look back at where you have come from.
4. Do you take regular inventory of where you are and what it is that you really want to do so that you don’t have regrets at the end of your life, that sometimes comes earlier than you think?
5. Can you admit to being wrong, or evaluate your position that may have changed as you mature? You know family and friends who cling to outdated views long since proven untrue, yet they lack the maturity and courage to admit they’re wrong? As Dr. Phil says, would you rather be right or Happy? Can you show open-mindedness and humility? Some of the greatest gifts ever for happiness
6. Do you make others feel joy, inspired, or grateful around you? And remaining neutral the rest of the time, you’re a net-positive.
7. Do you take 100% responsibility for your own actions and the results of your life choices? Someone wrote a book the 20 second miracle- when you take 100% responsibility for your life. Everything changes.
You no longer blame anyone for anything that has happened to you. and you take responsibility for everything that happens now and, in the future,- you can feel the control back of owning your life again. This is one of the most powerful things you can ever do. Start to practice this today. The opposite side of the coin from blaming is taking responsibility. Own it to empower yourself.
8. Do you use emotions as half of any solution? Do you use your emotions as your internal guidance system?
9. Are you curious? Curiosity is the gap between what you know and what you want to know.
- Have you given up on conditional happiness? There is an idea that to achieve happiness, you must meet specific outcomes in life. Maturity does come with age and experience. but I realized that living an extraordinary life has nothing to do with your job title, bank account, or how much fame you achieved.
I see that the simpler life brings the most happiness. Contentment with having enough, of those things. Satisfaction with your accomplishments. We are never finished, and I think we think there is a finish line, and we MUST get over it to be feel we are living the good life.
When you FEEL accomplished because you have given to yourself and your family and society. Why isn’t that enough? Finding what helps you to feel what is Enough is the finish line in a realizing the good life. Then declare it is enough. Give to your self first and then you have more to give others. And know this is living the good life.
If you feel having a dog or animal in your life as an ESA could help you live the good life. We do certify for ESA at ESApros.com. I hear it all the time. There animal are game changing. Or check out other podcast a AnxietySimplified.net

In this episode Joanne Williams, LCSW discusses 14 way to be fearless
Summary of today Podcast:
- Review why we have fear and how to get to Fearlessness
- Why we celebrate at Halloween even with fear
- 14 ways to be Fearless
- A Fear to Fearless Course coming out in January
Question for today is? Is fear “locked in” forever.
We know with change, there is uncertainty and fear or anxiety.
If we don’t like fear,…. then why do we like Horror films and scaring each other at Halloween?
Maybe we understand that facing fear can really help us. Or Understand that we can use exposure therapy which is to flood your senses with fear so that your senses can’t stay at that high level.
Lets look at 14 way to be fearless from lifehack.org article. By Anthony Mazzocchi
We all have fear – it’s an emotion that’s as normal as breathing.
The problem is that most people cling to their fears and are therefore unable to move forward in their lives with necessary change Mazzocchi says. As a therapist, I understand that it is not that we consciously cling to fear. It is that our brain is stuck in fear and clients with panic or PTSD can’t get it unstuck.
Mazzocchi reports that he has learned a lot about fear in his life as a professional musician, and He learned that the only difference between people who achieve greatness and those who do not is that the former ditched their fear. Many of the methods he has used to prepare for huge performances have helped me to conquer fear in other areas of life.
Here’s how you can start overcoming fear:
1. Be aware of fear in your life. Before you can begin overcoming fear, you have to admit that you have it. Perhaps fear is your “normal” state of being, and that is quite a bit to overcome all at once. Write down some aspects of your life where have fear; getting them down on paper is important, because trying to simply think them through never works.
- Stare at fearless people. Fill your brain with images of what you want your “future self” to look like. Connect with as many role models as you can, whether in person, through a book, or online. Use these examples as an energy source to combat your fear.
- Be objective.Take an interest in investigating your fears. Ask yourself about what thoughts generate your fear, where you feel the fear, and how you react to it. Try to be an objective observer of your own life.
- Be willing to look stupid. Remember: Wayne Gretzky fell on his tail a ton, and Itzhak Perlman has had horrible performances. Once you are willing to risk the emotional pain of making mistakes, you will shed more fear than you ever imagined. Know that making mistakes will help you obtain information you use to create the correct behaviors, and that everyone who has ever done something great has failed more than once. I say to do it as young as possible, it seems easier that when you are an adult, when you “should “ know better. Or encourage your kids to try different things or be willing to make mistakes that lead to life lessons.
- Adopt a gratitude mindset. Whenever you feel fear, try to feel grateful instead. He had been performing a lot of solos recently, and it is scary! Instead of freaking out, He have decided to be grateful for the opportunity to communicate musically with so many people, and he knew that they are there to genuinely listen to me play and root me on. Listen to how he is CHOOSING to replace the fear with gratitude.
- Seek out teachers. It’s never too late to have a teacher; we are never done learning. Seek out someone who scares you a little—not a polite person who always makes you feel warm and fuzzy. Seek out someone who watches you closely, is brutally honest, and gives clear directions on how you can get better at whatever scares you. They aren’t going to hurt you, they will stretch you.
- Share.How often do we hold the negative in, because we are afraid of how others might react? Sharing helps, because you will realize that many people feel the same way as you do, and have stories to share as well. Do you have a fear of success, or a fear of failure? Sharing with someone can help you examine what you truly want from life, and where your fears come from and how it is stopping you from getting your goals.
Instead of focusing on the fear which will increase it, if sharing is done to understand how that person handled it, or what they learned and moved through, is a great way to understand how someone else handles their fears.
- Embrace struggle. Most of us instinctively avoid struggle, because it feels like failure, and that scares us, but the term “no pain, no gain” holds true. To develop skills, it is a necessity that we struggle, so we must embrace it. Once we struggle, fear slowly disintegrates because you face it. Another article was saying that many of our young adults have been “Coddled” and now have not learned how to tolerate feeling fearful. This puts them at a disadvantage at college if they need a “safe space” to cope, because they haven’t learned other coping skills with conflict, internal or external.
- Read.This is Mazzochhi, personal favorite. Reading a good book related to your specific fear can open new doors on how you can get rid of it. He likes to constantly fill his world with motivational and inspirational books on, and related to, the topic I’m dealing with.
I really love this one too. Continual emotional education keeps your mind and emotions in check. Even if you just read a few pages each day. Read something that moves your emotional intelligence forward.
- Use visualization.Imagine yourself in a scary situation without fear. Watch people do things fearlessly that would normally freak you out. Visualize yourself as that person. Create a very clear picture of fearlessness in your mind with you in it. Our brains don’t know the difference between actual or virtual. Train your brain to be ok with something that is out of your comfort zone.
- Put things in perspective.Putting your negative thoughts in perspective is a huge way to overcome fear. In the grand scheme of life, why are you afraid? While you are freaking out about something, life is moving on without you. Sometimes it’s helpful to remember this. Or think what I will feel like in one year, if I don’t learn to cope now. A hint: it only gets worse with more age because you have more experiences to be fearful of.
- Release control.Of course, we want to be in control, but when we relinquish it we tend to free ourselves up. Allow yourself to make mistakes—after all, that’s where learning and growth really happens. We learn from our failures, but to fail we need to release control. You will only let go when you have more to gain than lose. Refocus on what is more important than keeping control.
- Think about the worst-case scenario.What’s the worst that could happen? Mazzocchi say he has crumbled on stage in front of hundreds of people. My wife still loved me; I lived. Life goes on. Know that it will never be that bad.
- Look within.What is the root of your fear? Meditate on it. Look inside and ask yourself when the fear started: How far back does your fear go? Did you have an early failure that has stuck with you? Explore it. That’s what life is all about. There is the much more than Marchocci explains here, when We have had things happen to us, our emotional brain protects us with fear to stop us from doing things that might hurt or kill us. Looking within and replacing your fear with reassurance is a way to work on your fear. Usually you need a professional if you can’t change this yourself. Reach out.
I will be launching a course to Get off the Bench and into the Game of Life, to go from Fear to Fearless starting in January. I will be sharing very targeted ways to aim at your specific goal in our 6-week guided path to show you the direct route, using 3 secrets, that no one talks about.
I will share, these success strategies that include Universal laws that must work, they are laws, when used with clarity, intention, and focus.
There is more to life than what You can see right now. Fear has its ways to limit your focus and only see what you can’t do.
With these simple secrets, I will show you how to turn a can’t into a Can, go from the fear brain that holds you back to Being fearless using your logic and analytical part of your brain to engage your higher mind, to reroute from your fear or emotional brain to put you back in control.
Marchocci says that Overcoming fear requires a growth mindset; an attitude that we can grow and change if we choose. Nothing is “locked in” forever; we can change. It takes time and practice. Hopefully, the tips above will help you begin your journey to ditch fear.
I agree, that to unlock your fear, you will need to do your own heart-core inner work. But it is possible and in this experiential workshop you will be able to understand and work through your fear.
All of our podcasts at AS are designed to assist you overcoming anxiety, so I hope you will listen to let us know what else will can help you.
Happy Halloween and don’t let the Election distract you from what is important in your life or let fear rule.

In this episode Joanne Williams, LCSW will discuss Top books on Emotional Intelligence Tony Robbins 'Unlimited Power' and Esther Hicks 'Ask it is Given' and comments on how the Words we use Matter and Joanne explains Where our Beliefs come from. An interview with Cara Lumen about the importance of the words you choose on your Beliefs.
Summary of today Podcast:
- Quotes from several books that are known for Emotional Intelligence
- Looking at Beliefs, thought patterns and how they affect our life
- Learned Helplessness from a Shocking rat experiment
- Our Emotional Brain and how it affects our thoughts and emotional reactions and how to reroute to our Belief Center
- An interview Shaman Cara Lumen who discusses Beliefs and how words we use are powerful
- Question for today is? Where do beliefs come from.
Abraham in Esther Hicks in the book ‘Ask and it is Given’, says our beliefs are just thoughts that we think over and over again repeatedly until we believe those thoughts.
Where do these thoughts come from that turn into Beliefs? Their source must come initially from our parents, our household, or family members were the first impact of words or thoughts that we ever heard. On a conscious level, it would seem to be the case that they come from our immediate surroundings.
Do you believe the same kinds of things that your mother and father believe? Or have we changed our beliefs? I would say yes because most of us have similar, maybe not exactly, but you'll hear many say, as we get older, Oh my gosh...I sound exactly like my mother or my father. Whether we like it or not, that does seem to be the case.
Then we develop coping skills or ways to problem solve in our life circumstances. We all have to figure these kinds of problems out. But, from a child’s viewpoint.
I learned about brain development through Graduate school to be a licensed counsel, but I am no means a neurologist, nor an expert on the brain. But, I do understand that the emotional brain that is developed starting at 6 months before our rational brain, which starts to develop with rational analytic kind of understanding starting at 12 years and it keeps developing even until 25 years old or 35 years old. No wonder males must be 25 to rent a car. And the insurance industry has higher rates for males under 25 yr. old.
So, if our emotional brain starts at 6 months and we use it figure out how to get our needs met. We cry and wait to see if someone comes. We can have an emotional reaction if we get our needs met or if we don’t get them met. What happens, if no one does come when we are hungry? What do you think that little brain does? Or if that little brain has pain instilled when it does cry to get it needs met? You can see that many things are happing in our little brains that could affect it.
What do you think's going on emotionally in a household at 6 months old? Siblings loving on you or they could be abusing you. Your parents could be loving you or they could be neglecting you. You can almost understand the emotional response to each of these one of these situations on brain development. I understood as I learned about childhood development that there is such thing as learned helplessness. This could start to happen even to A baby or even a person later in life. Because of our emotional responses to situations.
In this experiment about Learned Helplessness from Graduate School, there were experiments with rats, that were used to see their response to a Surface with one half that is electrified, and the other half was not. One rat could go between the two sides and get off of the electrified surface and of course they would feel better. The other rat could only stay on the electrified surface and couldn’t get off it.
It was not enough electricity so that it would kill the rat it was just painful and at some point, because the pain did not stop they gave up trying.
This is where the term learned helplessness came about. At some point you give up when things are just are too painful and it things don’t get better or stop. There seems to be no way out we just stopped trying. How sad is that to give up or succumb to a life experience because you can’t figure a way out.
Can you see how victim thinking could start very early when there is no way out for a child under age 12, when you don’t have the cognitive abilities to discern or figure out options. Or how personality disordered can start to manipulate the situation to get your way, If it works then you repeat it, maybe through life. If if doesn’t work what happens to that child? Maybe they lash out, get angry and believe that the work is not a safe place to live.
This one Belief can make or Break a child’s view of the world. Is it a safe place or not?
I remember being at seminar with Tony Robbins, the great Motivational Speaker, 35 years ago and He had just written his first book was ‘Unlimited Power’, he said that 90% of our beliefs are formed by the time we are 8 years old and 95% of our Beliefs by the time we are18 yrs. That is a means what we belief when we young stick with us for life.
No wonder they call it the formative years.
Aristotle the Greek philosopher once said “Give me a child until he is 7 and I will show you the man”
So what can we do about changing our Beliefs?
- Understanding these Belief points can help you understand why people do what they do and believe the things that they do. It might make you more compassionate and help you understand how to respond. Maybe you don’t respond to their reaction, you respond to what they may not understand.
- I hope this Helps you to be kinder to yourself and to understand where your beliefs are coming from. It’s a child’s view. Maybe that is why you are the way you are and if you don’t like it, be aware of it and Change it.
- Beliefs are just thoughts that we have thought over and over again until we believe them.
- You can change your Beliefs by being AWARE of them. Notice what you’re your thoughts are to change them or notice your emotions which are your internal guidance system is showing you your emotional reaction to your own thoughts.
- This is what my ACT method is based on. That you can start for free on my website anxiety simplified.net. Be aware to change the thought feeling combination. Then be consistent until you change the belief.
- Being Aware of your thoughts is key to be able to change them. Since if these started as a young child, you aren’t aware of them.
- Tony Robbins recommends: Change your physiology, standup if you are siting. Change the room you are in. Get lower or higher in relation to a person you are conversing with changes the dynamics. Or Change the meaning your attribute to a thing. Tony Robbins said change words of angry to: “I am peeved.” How can you stay angry when you say the word ‘peeved’? In his book ‘Unlimited Power’ create new metaphor for the situation or emotion in your life to change it.
- Change your focus- Give a negative emotion 90 seconds then change it to a positive one. Mel Robbins, 5 seconds.
- We will hear know from Cara Lumen who has the Deeper Song community as a spiritualist and Philosopher on the way our words effect the way we look at the world so we call can enjoy more.

Best Stress Relief Meditation Podcast for Calming Anxiety: Joanne Williams Shares a meditation to teach you how to Create Your Meditation Practice. Sit back and relax and just feel what it can feel like to be relaxed in your own house or your own mind. Create a place in your own home that is comfortable and quiet.
Create a space, comfy chair, quiet place, light a candle, to create ambiance. Bring a beautiful scene in front of you that helps with the visualization of your favorite place.
I will be taking you through steps and taps are from Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT. For a calming relaxing letting down of stress and being able to know that you have a way to create relaxation
We are going to create your meditation practice today in this relaxation meditation. We are going to create a space in our home, our heart, and our head. As we breathe just say “open heart, soft belly” Now let go of any thoughts. I want you to just allow them to come and go. They will come back, don't think they are not going to, you’re not doing anything wrong.
The visualization just helps our mind to go someplace that we are in control of instead of it going back to being busy with what you need to do. Your duties will be there, leave them at the door or now. What is the visualization we want to create today? I want you to think about your favorite spot, see it, picture it. Mine is a garden, lashing green. See the colors of your visualization. Vivid bright greens of ivy and the leaves are just sparkling with dew.
You want to elicit as many of your senses possible. You see the beauty, you smell the smells, you feel what it feels like as you brush against things. Whether it’s in nature, in my garden I touch the rose, the soft rose I feel the sand and I know I am safe and all is well here it is always well here, it always brings me peace to be here. In my scene.
Feeling the nothingness. Allowing the peace to come. Being comforted. Building your strength for the day, asking for help from your guardian angels, they will come. Feel them around you. Listen, listen for the answer.
As we come back into our world. I want you to keep in your practice saying 3 things you’re grateful for. Just say them to yourself whatever they may be.
Just know there are many and have your practice be that you are so grateful, thankful, joyful about…That is the space of creation, of goodness coming towards you. Be that.
And let's just thank all of our support systems that have allowed you to have this time today, just thank them. Be grateful for this time for yourself, that you’ve allowed it that you’re practicing it, that you want it. This is wonderful. And you can continue this if you choose for longer. Each day I hope you make it a little longer. Maybe add some music that is easy to attach. And you can continue this and create your playlist of meditation that just brings you there quickly.
Bring this feeling into the world, Share it as you walk through the world now you are emitting a vibration of peace and love. Joy, love, peace in your day. Go with love.

- Questions: From face book- How can I get rid of having emotions? How can I change my emotions?
- Is stress an emotional reaction to a situation? A doctor told me that 85% of the patients he sees, the issues are stress related.
- Our emotional brain, which is in the lower part of your brain, sends warning to protect you from doing things, our higher brain or the rational brain isn’t even started to be formed until age 12 has no way to understand logically your emotions
- Emotions are just signals they are just giving you or information to use to make decisions. Understanding that emotions are giving you information so that you can use to make a better decision about a life situation, if there only purpose, not to torture you or punish you. Just gives you information.
- Use them to your Advantage as your internal guidance system as one piece of the information puzzle. How it makes you feel as one half and then what you are thinking about the decision as the other half.
- All emotions have their own message.
- Anger is to say no. A boundary. Please don’t do that again. It is not rage or abuse. It is standing up for yourself.
- Guilt am I doing something wrong against my morals and values. This is a tricky one, we need to take a 2nd step and ask did I really do something wrong against my morals and values or am I using it to punish myself, like I was in my family or religion?
- Shame is deeper guilt that has gone into you character or being bad or worthless. Alcoholism or drug abuse. This is a deeper issue that will need some special help unless you can love yourself the way you are, not matter what.
- Or sadness and it is telling you need to connect.
- There are 4 main emotions. Happy, sad, mad or scared. Keeping it simple and being aware is the emotions is the 1st method that will take you through the steps to focus your thoughts and emotions toward what it is that you want more of in your life to build the skills to manage your emotions.
- To answer the question How can I get rid of having emotions? Don’t get rid of your guidance system or like why would get ride of your GPS, he helps to get you where you want to go in your life. Emotions Are the same. How can I change my emotions? Become aware of what you are thinking that creates the emotional Response if you are thinking I am going to die if I go on a plane.
- My A.C. T. method the A. is to be aware of your thoughts that are creating the emotions. C is connecting your thought with that emotion to reassure it.

In this episode Joanne Williams, LCSW has a conversation with an ESA client that explained
- Why people get ESAs and
- 10 benefits to having an ESA
- The Difference between an ESA, PSD, Therapy animal or Service Animals.
- A Guest today Discusses how she has an ESA that helps her.
- In podcast #11 misunderstanding about Emotional Support Service animal and scams and how to get an ESA letter the “right way”.
- Facts about the difference between an Emotional Support Animal (ESA); a Service Animal, a Therapy Animal, and a Psychiatric Service dog (PSD).
- An ESA helps with a daily functioning because of a Psychological issue.
- There are two laws that govern ESAs with additional rights. The Air Carriers Access Act and the Amendment to the Fair Housing Act of 1988.
- To qualify for an Emotional Support Animal (ESA) you must have a letter from a licensed mental health professional stating that a person has been diagnosed with a mental health diagnosis and their psychological condition must significantly limit at least one of life’s basic activity; such as their social, work or emotional functioning. There needs to be a recommendation on the letter for the ongoing treatment to be an ESA.
- They receive a letter on letter head stating the daily function effected. The letter is given to the Airlines for Air Travel and to the Property Manager for Housing. The person needs the animal for emotional support to function better in life.
- To be a service animal, it does need to do a task for the person, i.e., a seeing eye dog, predict low blood sugar, helps the hearing impaired.
- A new category of service animal is the Psychiatric Service Dog (PSD) that is trained to help with Psychological Symptoms, like panic or PTSD and can recognize and respond to these psychological symptoms.
- Therapy animals are trained animals that are given rights to only go into nursing homes, school and Hospitals
- Here is 10 Benefits of Having an Emotional Support Animal. To prove this point 15 airports now have therapy dogs with handlers because they know that a dog in the vicinity of people calms them. Airlines understand this and should be glad more people can bring their animals on the planes. It helps us all.
- See podcast #11 for details on the misperceptions around ESAs and if you are interested in getting an ESA or a Psychiatric Service dog, you can go to our sister website ESApros.com and see how to get prequalified in 1 minute.

I had been a Mental Health professional for 20 years and didn’t know about these 2 federal laws around ESAs that has been around for almost 50 years. I did my research and found it to be true.
Now, For the last 7 years I have specialized in ESA certification. This is the main reason we are sharing this information in a podcast, so you will understand the laws and how to qualify.
- The ESA does need to provide help with a daily functioning like sleep, concentration, or motivate the client to socialize easier, because they have the animal.
- There is a psychological evaluation to see how their animal helps them with a daily functioning AND to find a psychological diagnosis
- The ESA evaluation needs to be with a Licensed MH professional to find these 3 qualifiers before a letter is issued certifying a True ESA.
- Once they qualify, a letter is sent certifying that they have meet the 2 laws that govern ESA to travel by plane and to give to their property manager to live in no pet housing, without pet rents or deposits.
- Just having a vest on or a certificate that is made to put on the wall or “registering as an ESA” online does not make a true certified ESA.
- The most frequently asked question, on the internet or on FB or when a person calls us is: How do I qualify for any ESA? There are 3 things that the 2 laws require.
- The 2 laws that govern ESA are the Fair Housing Act FHA
- The Air Carriers Access Act, for airlines to allow service and ESA animals to fly without discrimination. They can’t charge fees or restrictions on weight breeds of animals, except for reptiles, spiders or exotic animals were never allowed to be on board.
- The airlines instituted forms to be completed before bringing an ESA, that has made obstacles to bring your ESA. In August 2019, the DOT clarified what the airlines could and could not do
“Research say people who own dogs have a 24% lower risk of death than people who don’t own dogs. This is in general population, not for the most vulnerable populations with traumas of family history of mental illness.
There are 3 things you can do today to help.
- Be more thoughtful or less judgmental of someone with an animal on the plane.
- Suggest to a Veterans group or Police department that they may be interested in hearing more about how an animal in their precinct might help the overall calmness in the environment.
- Smile at one person today and think a nice thought towards them.

In this episode Joanne Williams, LCSW interview continues on Racism in America with a Black Therapist friend, coworker Jemal Knowles, CMHC, who has experience with the Black Life Matters and the protests and even arrested.
- The Dalai Lama pointed out on his 85th birthday that he thinks that what is happening in America as having very narrow thinking.
- Being a black therapist with accountability of his actions while little accountability on Police to protect is faltering and this experiences on Black Lives Matter Protest.
- Conversation around racial issues and solutions that we can move past where we are now and to heal the inequities that have continued without repair In America.
- Solutions for anxiety that has been created by the multiple layers of current issues impacted deeper, if you are a person of color, poor, or in a state that has all of these layers compounded by a health pandemic.
- 2 books Jemal recommends are: White Fragility by Robin Di Angleo- She asks- Why it is so hard for white people to talk about Racism White Privilege And Tears We cannot Stop -Michael Eric Dyson- What Truth sounds like.
- From this book Jemal gleaned the question you might want to ask other white friends: Would you want to trade places with a black person today?
- A bill passed the House of Representatives, the Heroes bill, was sent to the Senate with accountability on Police for their actions and stripping away immunity laws and the mostly white males in the Senate just made feeble recommendations to Police to not choke people with no accountability in it. There it sits and goes nowhere, more of the same for 200 years or state sanctioned kills of black people.
- How do we move forward with having these tough conversations? One solution I believe is critical is to be FOR something, for equality, for truth, instead of AGAINST racism. That way you can focus our intention to draw this to us, now when we express what we really want.
- True economic equality, equity that is shared in America. True Respect for human right and that Black Lives do Matter to face racism in America.

This constant feeling of lacking in competence, despite all evidence to the contrary, causes people who suffer with IS to beat themselves up about their abilities. It is common that they will constantly set unrealistic goals for themselves, Subconsciously, or out of your awareness, which are then failed and used as another piece of evidence to back up their incompetency. For some sufferers, this fear of being discovered as a fraud is an intense motivator to always do better and although this may reflect well in grades, work performance or perceived parenting ability, it comes with the price of suffering constant anxiety over the thought of being caught.
This can be an issue in Relationships or even friendships. You can build an outside persona to cover up the feelings that you feel about yourself that are shame filled, or feeling of unworthiness.
People who suffer with anxiety disorders may experience IS in the form of feeling like they don’t belong in social or performance situations. Picture this: during your big presentation at work, which is already tainted with anxiety about standing up in front of so many people, you feel like you’re completely winging it, even though you know exactly what you are talking about. Afterwards, when everyone is congratulating you on how well It went, you’re unable to enjoy it because of IS reminding you repeatedly that your success is nothing but sheer luck.
