I’m cold. I mean my heat is probably set to 70 but I’ve got my Bucs hoodie pulled over my head and a previously-steaming cup of tea in my hand while I try to type with the other. You already know I’m a weenie when it comes to chilly temps, but our camping trip last weekend got down into the 30s and we’ve stayed there all week! I only have so many joggers and long sleeves. Are you dealing with some frigid January weather? Dreaming of warmer days? And learning more about neurofeedback? Huh. That took an unexpected turn…. But it’s all about Hawaii!
I’m part of a summit on the big island in October, which seems far away, but is warming me up just thinking about it! If you don’t remember how into neurofeedback I’ve become over the past year, then check out these links to some of my fav ramblings and resources. But the opportunity to present this in Hawaii along some friends and other amazing colleagues is really exciting! My talk will be on, SURPRISE!!, neurofeedback! Some general stuff, specific stuff, practical stuff, and really cool, interesting research. It’s going to be a riveting 2 CEUs! But I’m really looking forward to learning more about religious and church trauma, overcoming intimate partner violence, and how to bring arts and crafts into sessions. LaDonna Carey will be there presenting too! Oh yeah, and Hawaii. I’m can't wait for some island time doing morning yoga and swimming with manta rays and what not. Don’t shiver through winter!
Sit under your heated throw like me, and dream scroll and the cool things that you’ll join me for in warm, gorgeous Hawaii! Your brain (and goosebumps) will thank you. Cheers to healthy brains, Dr. B Jessica Beachkofsky, MD Your friendly, online psychiatrist! P.S. The Aloha Summit will take place from Oct 16-18 and will provide 16 of the most interesting APA approved CEUs! Join us! P.P.S. Here’s one of my favorite articles on neurofeedback! |

Construction paper hearts... Gooey Elmer’s glue... Glitter! (Remember glitter? And how it got EVERYWHERE? Apparently the environment will be dealing with it a lot longer than I will) Candy!! This is what I remember from my Valentines Days past. In my house we didn’t buy a pack of valentines from Publix. I had to MAKE mine with scissors and markers and sequins (if I was lucky). And they usually involved some of my attempts at cute rhymes. But did you realize we’re sending valentines even...
INT. REGINA'S ROOM - FRIDAY NIGHT REGINA angrily walks on a elliptical. MRS. GEORGE enters. MRS. GEORGE: You still on the elliptical, baby? REGINA: (duh) No, I'm over there. MRS. GEORGE: Honey, I know you're not happy with your body right now but remember, real beauty comes from the face. REGINA: Don't ever talk about my body! Gahhhd! MRS. GEORGE: Okay -okay! (tries a new tactic) Let me make you a low-cal snack! I have some shrimp I can spray with that butter-flavored Pam- REGINA: Mommy, I...
Brrrrrr is the sound that comes out of my mouth when I look at the low for tonight. (and I do that weird arm motion thing too, where they're crossed and my fingers are magically making me feel warm with a reverse version of jazz hands) Still chilly here! In certain parts of the US right now, even my usually warm, sweaty Florida, we’re feeling a whole lot of winter. We’ve been seeing weather warnings for days about freezing temps which is not really a typical thing around here. But it is now....
