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! |

It's well into summer here in sunny (and thunderstormy) Florida! And that means time for me to take a pause for a couple of months. Not just to chill (wouldn't that be nice!) but to study for my Menopause Certification! (See? It's telling me to take a pause right in the name!) Hardcore studying for something feels weird. I read journals and take courses all the time but I usually do that for "fun" or just to add to my bank of information about mental health. This is new. this is what I feel...
Jarod was 56 years old and super anxious. He'd been a nervous kid, a stressed out teen, and was nearly incapacitated by his anxiety as he moved through adulthood. He'd worked with multiple different psychiatrists, and I was consulted because he just wasn't getting any better. How much longer can I go on like this? he wondered. Before we'd met, Jarod paid $400 out of pocket for pharmacogenetic testing. THIS will have the answers! Except... It didn't. Jarod was devastated when his results came...
