Eating for health living means more than just eating to maintain a healthy weight or to encourage weight loss. Healthy eating has become an all-encompassing lifestyle method, which includes maintaining overall health by consuming food rich in certain nutrients or minerals. Serotonin has been linked to eating specific foods, and its role in human physiology is a frequent subject of scientific study for improving mental health and happiness.

In this ‘guest blog’ I shall share the reflections of a colleague, Catherine (not her real name). This piece of writing is bursting with passion for practice and for the young people she serves. I found it emotionally moving and uplifting. What fascinated me is the way that the vital role of ‘personal advisor’ is misunderstood and perhaps under-valued.

For the past 60 years, psychological research as a whole has been dominated by the deficit model of psychopathology that centers on disorder, damage, and mental illness. Thus, the focus of psychology has been mostly on what goes wrong with individuals rather than on what goes right with them, especially among minority populations such as immigrants.

Sleep Deprivation is a very real health problem and can lead to so many other issues beyond just feeling cranky and groggy. Missing out on the recommended amount of sleep and not getting enough good REM cycles each night while sleeping can lead to significant health effects that can become long-term or chronic issues. With today’s overcrowded lifestyles, and people always “being on” because of connected devices that offer a steady stream of text and email messages, lack of proper sleep has becom

Numerous studies support the effectiveness of online therapy (Backhaus et al., 2012; Bee et al., 2008), but little research has been conducted to determine whether computer-mediated communication (CMC) could impact crucial relational aspects of psychotherapy such as empathy (Terry & Cain, 2016). Empathy relates to our capacity to understand and, to some extent, feel what other individuals feel without experiencing distress or burden (Decety & Jackson, 2004).

Going out for a night on the town isn’t unusual. Friends go out with friends to have some beers, maybe a few mixed drinks, or perhaps something stronger than that. Time passes, and suddenly, six hours have passed. That one friend that had a few beers has gone from a few, to an entire case of beers. Friends say that he passed out and it’s expected that he’ll just sleep off the alcohol and feel fine the next morning, but is that really the case?

Gender affirming medical interventions (GAMI) are interventions that some, but not all, transgender or gender non-conforming (TGNC) individuals seek in order to bring their primary and secondary sex characteristics in line with their own affirmed gender. These interventions can include hormone treatments, genital surgery, chest surgery, hair removal, tracheal shave or speech therapy.

It is becoming increasingly common for psychologists to have clients who identify as LGB. Murphy, Rawlings, and Howe (2002) found “Fifty-six percent of participants had seen at least one LGB client in the past week. Among these participants, the mean percentage of LGB clients was 12%” (p. 185). LGB affirmative practice is highly essential for clinicians due to health disparities of LGB individuals.
