This leads us to modern day attempts to communicate with animals, including studies from Northern Arizona University that decode the meaning of prairie dog chirps and efforts to talk to the great apes. We ask what is the point? What do learn? https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Discovering-Intention-and-by-Tsara-Shelton-Children_Teaching-140426-853.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Discovering-Intention-and-by-Tsara-Shelton-Children_Teaching-140426-853.html Tsara Shelton I often wonder who I would have become if I never had children. It is through them and my desire to be who I would ask them to be that I have truly insisted on getting to know and like myself. In this story I remember a moment when, challenged by a stranger, I was gifted with an opportunity to discover my own belief. And in this moment I became a better mom, friend, and citizen. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Intergenerational-and-Hist-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-110313-34.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Intergenerational-and-Hist-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-110313-34.html Lewis Mehl-Madrona We continue our Australian cross-cultural mental health journey for day 4. Today's topic was intergenerational and historic trauma. In an inter-faith context we talked about the need for the suppressed stories to be told. We talked about epigenetics, which is the way in which the trauma of the ancestors are genetically transmitted across as many as four generations, if not more. We discussed the need to tell these stories. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Defining-Coyote-Psychother-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-Body_Community_Healing_Health-141102-270.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Defining-Coyote-Psychother-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-Body_Community_Healing_Health-141102-270.html Lewis Mehl-Madrona In the recent meetings of the Institute for Psychiatric Services in San Francisco, Barbara Mainguy and I presented material on how we work with psychosis. We are exploring what it is that we do, and we know that it is inspired by indigenous elders, that it is centered on the body, which registers our traumas and stresses, that we are wedded to the idea of story occurring in a social context so that we are embedded with others. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Sorcery-For-Scientists-by-lincoln-stoller-111020-883.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Sorcery-For-Scientists-by-lincoln-stoller-111020-883.html lincoln stoller An exhortation to expand your understanding beyond the bounds of reason. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Anxiety-Anger-Depression-by-Hershel-Toomim-090723-101.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Anxiety-Anger-Depression-by-Hershel-Toomim-090723-101.html Hershel Toomim This study revealed two candidate pathways from cortical receipt of a stimulus to activity of the amygdala.

Jordan Peterson writes that life exists within explored and unexplored territory both inside and outside of the mind. A narrative crisis occurs when our story (map of meaning) is inadequate to explain an anomaly. Heroism sets the hero apart from the group. Identification with the hero serves to decrease the unbearable motivational valence of the unknown. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/The-Use-of-Audio-Visual-En-by-David-Siever-100809-696.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/The-Use-of-Audio-Visual-En-by-David-Siever-100809-696.html David Siever A review of the research regarding audio-visual entrainment for the treatment of ADD/ADHD. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/From-Technostress-to-Techn-by-Erik-Peper-081114-333.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/From-Technostress-to-Techn-by-Erik-Peper-081114-333.html Erik Peper work stress, caused by long hours, sitting at computer stations, causes pain and worst-- technostress-- even with ergonomic interventions.

In contemporary, modern culture it has become the one symptom that allows an immediate diagnosis of a psychotic disorder. In this essay, I write about the downside of pathologizing voices, while still acknowledging that many people suffer enormously from voices and negative visions. I describe how to be healing. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/The-Brain-Broad-Builds-A-B-by-Tsara-Shelton-Mental-Health_Mental-Illness_Mental-Training_Neurofeedback-141010-558.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/The-Brain-Broad-Builds-A-B-by-Tsara-Shelton-Mental-Health_Mental-Illness_Mental-Training_Neurofeedback-141010-558.html Tsara Shelton Lynette Louise aka The Brain Broad (aka my mom) has a brand new podcast.

In this process, developed by Dr. Julian Leff, a psychiatrist at University College, London, voice hearers pick a sound for their voice and a face which becomes an avatar on the computer screen. Then the facilitator helps them to dialogue with the avatar to oppose it. The results are very impressive. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Neurofeedback-in-Treatment-by-Stephen-Sideroff-100206-865.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Neurofeedback-in-Treatment-by-Stephen-Sideroff-100206-865.html Dr. Stephen Sideroff, PhD Over the last two decades a new research and clinical approach--neurofeedback--has shown promise in the treatment of substance abuse.

This is when we need our clients to get well for our own needs. Of course, we want to think that we are effective and can help people, but the more we think this way and the less we think of dialogical resolution where each contributes to the outcome, the more harm we do. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Excerpt-from-Coyote-Wisdom-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-101031-579.html Sun, 12 Nov 6947 13:18:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Excerpt-from-Coyote-Wisdom-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-101031-579.html Lewis Mehl-Madrona This excerpt tells the story of my work with Tiffany, a young woman with cancer who was from the Christian faith and how we used Meister Eckhart as a way to bridge my Native American philosophies with Christianity to create a healing dialogue throughout the course of her cancer. this seems like an important story to me because it shows how we can create healing (meaning and purpose) even when the patient dies. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Alpha-Theta-Neurotherapy-A-by-Nancy-White-100203-271.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Alpha-Theta-Neurotherapy-A-by-Nancy-White-100203-271.html Nancy White Alpha-Theta Neurotherapy, has been found in clinical practice, as in the original work of Elmer and Alyce Green and further developed by Eugene Peniston and described in his original research, to reduce or eliminate alcoholic craving while simultaneously addressing mental, emotional, physical and, at times, spiritual dimensions of alcoholism and surrounding issues. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Crosstraining-for-Body-Mi-by-Rob-Kall-100203-507.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Crosstraining-for-Body-Mi-by-Rob-Kall-100203-507.html Rob Kall This is a transcript of my Jan 24th, 2010 interview with Terry Patten, co-author, with Ken Wilber and others, of Integral Life Practice; A 21st Century Blueprint for Physical Health, Emotional Balance, Mental Clarity, and Spiritual Awakening.

Where there is faith, the feeling is positive and this helps the body's built-in mechanisms of healing. The quality of health care would eventually depend on how well the various aspects of health care are synchronized to supplement and support the central nature of faith and the hidden reality of mind-body-spirit medicine. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Finding-Magic-in-a-Muggle-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-Change_Future_Healing_Nature-141219-686.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Finding-Magic-in-a-Muggle-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-Change_Future_Healing_Nature-141219-686.html Lewis Mehl-Madrona What is magic in a muggle world? We recently conducted a workshop to explore that question. First, what arose was the idea our thoughts could influence the future to which we are headed. What if our visualizations could change the direction in which we are headed. What is really magic is the power we have to influence others. We have power to uplift. We have power to give hope when there is none. This is real magic. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Healing-Camp-Day-1-Introd-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-120811-664.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Healing-Camp-Day-1-Introd-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-120811-664.html Lewis Mehl-Madrona In this article, I write about our invention -- Healing Camp.

The word shaman is no doubt here to stay, but there is an advantage to resisting it in that it brings to attention the di https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/The-Power-of-Thought-by-Buryl-payne-Meditation_Meditation_War-150118-315.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/The-Power-of-Thought-by-Buryl-payne-Meditation_Meditation_War-150118-315.html Buryl payne Power of thought https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/The-Price-of-ADHD-Business-by-Frank-J-Granett-R-Adhd_Attention_Business-Plan_Children-140426-594.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/The-Price-of-ADHD-Business-by-Frank-J-Granett-R-Adhd_Attention_Business-Plan_Children-140426-594.html Frank J. Granett R.ph. The Price of ADHD Business focuses on the outdated assessment and treatment process in children for behavioral conditions during the past 40 years. The new business model involves ruling out underlying nutritional, physiological and environmental risk factors prior to premature drug therapy.

How we treat these people depends upon the stories we carry about how they came to be the way they are. Contemporary stories are impoverished and lead to mistreatment of those who suffer. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Life-in-the-Balance-A-Ph-by-Joan-Brunwasser-100913-457.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Life-in-the-Balance-A-Ph-by-Joan-Brunwasser-100913-457.html Joan Brunwasser The neural pathways are disorganized, like some fantastically complex highway system with overpasses and intersections,on-ramps and exit ramps,all leading nowhere.A thought forms, it gets sent down the pike, only to get lost in some cul-de-sac where it spins like a whirling dervish.Sometimes the thoughts will finally spin out of the cul-de-sac and find expression; often,they simply spin themselves out like a spent whirlwind. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Nanglyala-Mental-Health-Ce-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-110330-9.html Thu, 12 Nov 3035 13:01:47 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Nanglyala-Mental-Health-Ce-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-110330-9.html Lewis Mehl-Madrona I write about the composite mental health center I have created in previous essays which comes from my and others' experiences working in mental health in New York State. I call it Nanglyala Mental Health Center, in honor of the Russian word for Valhalla, which one can't use, for it actually exists. I propose a thought experiment in changing the culture at NMHC, which I hope someone somewhere will be inspired to do. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/American-Character-Strengt-by-Rob-Kall-090926-773.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/American-Character-Strengt-by-Rob-Kall-090926-773.html Rob Kall The American character has been undergoing a dangerous and effective attack that has, in my opinion, gone virtually un-noticed. The character values of self-reliance, self responsibility and self control are being seriously eroded by private for profit and non-profit health insurer policies. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/So-Just-What-is-Age-Anywa-by-Jim-Donovan-090929-4.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/So-Just-What-is-Age-Anywa-by-Jim-Donovan-090929-4.html Jim Donovan Just what is age and are you going to let it stop you?
