I have added five new videos
made in January 2013 for my online stress management class at LCC. These include a video describing how to deal with
problems with diaphragmatic breathing (I now use the term "Natural Rhythmic Breathing" to describe
this process because "diaphragmatic breathing" has been used to describe a lot of things that are quite different
than what I teach.) There are also new videos on "Understanding Depression," "Principles
of Stress Management," "A Perspective on Human Potential," and "Common
Features of a Healthy Recovery." There are now 23 videos that address common mental health issues and
topics that frequently came up for discussion in my face-to-face class in addition to an introduction to my online class under
the tab “Links to Videos for Online Stress Management at LCC.”
I have created a new tab for Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder and included a recent draft article on “Simple, Effective Treatment for Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder, along with descriptions of how I describe PTSD to clients and additional information and links to videos
that describe components of the treatment process.
The draft article “What Works in Counseling”
has been updated. This can be viewed under the “Counseling” tab.
Pages on Anxiety, Depression and PTSD
have been reorganized and a draft article on Social Anxiety has been added.
I have posted a brief
description of how perception can be used in moral decision making.
