This SCP Student Blog post by Adam Duberstein discusses the role of emotional support animals in clinical psychology. Within days after receiving my master’s-level license to practice psychotherapy in Michigan, two acquaintances asked me to write them letters which they could use in order to obtain an emotional support animal (ESA). ESAs are quite different from service animals, which perform specific tasks for their handlers.

My recent experience with grief and isolation has helped me grasp how important it is for us to reach out to the family members of our patients with affirmation and willingness to connect with them in their pain. Someone important to me and my family died when I was away for a week of training with the National Guard. When I received the news, I told my chain of command and received a pass so I could tend to the emotional needs of my family and me.

In this blog I am going to share the journey I have been on (with my colleague, Sandra McGough) in creating and developing a practice learning model- The What Works Practice Learning Circle. Details of what this is can be found on our Padlet page-[link]. My bet is there are many practitioners in vocational fields who would love to share their ideas and innovations, to a wider audience but, for various reasons, they don’t feel able to.

During the past decades there has been a rapidly growing interest in mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) like MBSR or MBCT. Although a number of clinical trials on MBIs have been conducted, the evidence base for MBIs is promising but still limited. Nevertheless, a rapid dissemination of MBIs has taken place and it can be argued that, in the case of MBIs, dissemination came before evidence.

Now begins a discussion of how to choose a strong hospice. Whether you are looking because you want a hospice job, or because you have a family member who needs service, it’s good to know that hospices are not all equally well run. Some hospices provide amazing care to patients and are great to work for. But not all of them are. I’m extremely fortunate to work for a company that treats team members and patients extremely well, and I’m also fortunate to have the experience working with oper

A healthy body is necessary to feel your best emotionally. Brain chemicals that help you feel happy and relaxed are created from the foods you eat. Sunlight sets your circadian rhythms so you get quality sleep and produces vitamin D which helps relieve depression. Exercise, stretching and yoga can all help increase the happy chemicals, reduce pain and improve sleep.

The way people think and perceive situations has a huge impact on how they feel. Helping people embrace the dialectics can help them feel more positive and empowered. Just like it is imperative to add happy emotions, it is imperative to add happy thoughts as well. By practicing optimism and addressing unhelpful thoughts people can reduce their overall stress, sleep better, gain more energy and feel less hopeless and helpless (depressed).

This SCP Blog piece by Drs. Levy, Springer, and Tolin discuss a recent meta-analytic review of remission in CBT for anxiety disorders published in Clinical Psychology Review. .
