Heart Health and ADHD Drugs

A woman in rabbi school came to my office. She said, “I do not know what life is like without drugs. I have been taking a stimulant since I was a child. Can you help me?”

Can you imagine what your life would be like if you spent 20 years on a stimulant? Can you image what damage the drug for ADHD has done to your heart, nervous system and body? Imagine taking a drug for ADHD for years.

Drugs of any nature are dangerous for children, especially stimulants. Whether you are 7 or 70 there is no doubt about the damage a stimulant can do to your heart.

Children who have behavior problems need discipline, not drugs.

Children with behavior problems need parents who show up and set healthy, safe limits for them to push against. The children need parents who are assertive, relaxed and emotionally strong.

Can You Read Body Language?

Did you know that your body movements, your lack of movements, and postures reveal more about you than anything else in the world?

Psychological research shows that 80% of communication between humans is non verbal. Verbal people do not like this but it is true anyway.

The days of psychological tests are gone for people who can read body language.

Art Fennell Reports, a CN8 News Television show, recently used me as an expert on body language for the candidates' wives.

Some body language experts use a set of rigid rules to determine what so and so means. I do not. I use the energy in the moment to know the truths being revealed in the moment.

When you read a photograph of a person you are reading a real moment caught in time. What you see is valid for that moment.

When you read a person in front of a camera you are reading someone who is posing for you.

When you are reading the person you are having dinner with, you are tuning in to what they are feeling about you and about themselves.

The body does not lie. Your body does not have the ability to lie. Even when you try to lie and hide. An aware person can see you are lying and hiding!

This means it pays to know what you are communicating to others. In addition, it is extremely valuable to know what the people around you are really communicating to you.

Do not listen to their words, in love relationships or politics, pay attention to the non verbal communication.

Read the energy and information that is present-- right in front of your face-- if you want to know more and make better decisions.
*************************

LEARN TO "HEAR YOUR BODY TALKING": It is impossible to read another person's body until you can read your own body. Start learning how to listen to your body so you can read body language.
"Hear Your Body Talking "CD

"Your Body CD has excellent information. I am so excited about what you are saying, you gave me so many new ideas. I can't wait to put my new awareness into practice." Liz Smith, nurse and body practitioner

Is Dr. Phil “Cool”? Or Does Anxiety Drive the Ego?

Dr. Phil has never been an example of a professional who could honestly help people. One wonders how Oprah could make him famous in the first place. His advice does not empower people or help them believe in themselves.

I wonder how people could be so fooled by him for so long, including Oprah. Her judgment with men appears to be questionable.

The people who have embraced such condescending advice from Dr. Phil all these years must be looking for something besides emotional health, mental health and empowerment!

Dr. Phil is not an example of what I want to see more of in this crazy world. He is not relaxed, open and loving.

People who think they have the answers for others are driven by anxiety. Underneath every single self righteous person is an insecure person.

My heart goes out to a young woman, such as Britney Spears, who is acting out her pain in the limelight for all of us to see. Her insecurity is more obvious to people than Dr. Phil’s.

With more awareness of energy and emotions, you can see the insecurity in people who put themselves up on a pedestal. Look for the body language and tension in the body.

Look and see through people such as Dr. Phil. Anyone who acts like they have the answer and you do not-- is not a healthy model for you.

Do not seek advice from others unless they empower you and help you believe in yourself. ‘

Dr. Phil does not know what is best for you or Britney Spears. Even if Britney Spears does think he is "cool." She has a lot of growing up to do to become emotionally healthy.

Being out of control, such as Britney, is not cool and being in control, such as Dr. Phil, is not cool.

When your ego is gone, your anxiety will diminish.

Could anxiety be the cause of violence in teenagers?

If adults, teenagers and children do not deal with the high levels of anxiety in their body and nervous system in a healthy fashion, violence can be the result.

Some people act out their judgmental attacks on others and some people act in their judgmental attacks on themselves. Some people do both.

Let us look at a teenager in Omaha, Nebraska. Suppose he could not take the negative thoughts about himself any longer. Suppose he was looking for a way to stop the attacking thoughts. Suppose he become violent first against others and then against himself. Violence can take many forms such as suicide or killing others.

Anxiety is the source problem for many symptoms. Anxiety is caused by self rejecting, judgmental thoughts toward the self.

As our society becomes more anxious, we can expect to see more violence unless something is done to reduce anxiety. Drugs do not reduce anxiety, they mask the problem. The only way to reduce anxiety is to deal directly with the out of control energy before it does harm to self or others.

Depression or Anxiety?

Anxiety Help, Natural Treatment

Anxiety is like static on your radio band. Anxiety is learned and can be unlearned. Tune your radio to some good music or a good talk show instead of static. Or better yet turn off the radio for some peace and quiet.


I developed my original anxiety treatment with the women who did not respond to Cognitive Behavior Therapy. In the 1980's, my referrals came from Beck's Cognitive Behavior Therapy Institute. I live across the river from Penn and my best friend was the Director of the Counseling Center who knew about my work with anxiety, learning research and feminist therapy.

The last study I read in 2007 reported a 80% recidivism rate with CBT. The reason Cognitive Behavior Theory is limited is because no one enjoys having to think all the time. When you think, you are in Beta brain waves. Beta brain waves are limited. Give me some alpha, delta and theta please.

You do not want to have to think about what you are thinking. You might not even want to think at all!

Turn off your radio and have some fun and pleasure. Set your thoughts free......Get into your body and enjoy letting go of thoughts....umm, umm good.

There are safe, effective ways to reduce anxiety and keep the static low enough so you can enjoy life and achieve peak performance at work and play. The anxiety outside of you is not going away. The anxiety inside of you can be reduced.

Your power lies in your ability to move beyond your brain and your thoughts. Just because everyone else is anxious, doesn’t mean you have to be!

Anxiety and Fear Since the Shootings

If you are not safe sitting in a class room, where are you safe?

We think we are safe if we do the right things, be good and be careful. But we are not really safe anywhere no matter how “right,” “good” or “careful” we may be.

Out of control events and behaviors can occur anywhere at any time. 9-11 turned America's world upside down. School shootings and everyday violence can happen anywhere. If we are not safe sitting in a class room, where are we safe?

The answer is, "Nowhere." Safety is an illusion. This is the reason humans have so much anxiety. This is the reason children get so scared and so anxious.

The real world is scary.

If you do not experience anxiety and fear, you are not in touch with what is going on around you. Or inside of you.

There is a huge difference between unhealthy anxiety and healthy fear. In order to take care of yourself, you need to know the difference so you can response properly in the moment to what is really happening around you.

Get ready for the real world. Be prepared with inner security. Emotional health gives you an inner sense of safety. With emotional wellness, whatever is happening outside of you cannot turn your world upside down.
