Well, alot has happened in a year. I have expanded my practice to Plano, TX this past November. The Clements Clinic in Plano, TX is an Amen Clinic affiliate (www.amenclinic.com). Amen clinics are one of the most cutting edge facilities I have ever researched. I’m so proud that they have expanded to Texas. I’ll do a better job of keeping you posted about how things develop over the coming months. I have been very excited about my new therapy dog, a great dane named Miley who was just born a few days ago. She’ll get to come home with at the end of February. Oh, and another exciting development…I am meeting with an IP attorney to discuss putting a patent on some concepts I have developed in biofeedback for pain management and anxiety. I’ll write to you soon.

I’ve been pretty excited about the development in that last couple of days. I got a call from Macie Jepson, channel 8 news, who would like to air a story about biofeedback and my clinic. I’m think this is going to be a great opportunity to spread the word about just how amazing biofeedback therapy is…Forward!

Vicarious Learning and Anxiety

In my profession as a counselor, I feel that it is important for parents to know that children pick up anxiety habits from their parents. As children grow and parents worry, remember that a child’s initial impression of the world is through their family; It is the platform from which children learn social interaction and emotional stability. It serves another pupose as well…remember that a chld’s emotional functioning is very delicate and extremely impressionable, and that a parent can imprint a child by the manner in which they conduct themselves in all aspects of life.

Play Therapy

I’m beginning a new quest in the pediatric therapy arena, PLAY THERAPY! The fundamental idea is that a small child, whom does not possess the communication ability to express, verbally, how they feel; will express themselves through symbolic objects in an anthropomorphic manner that reflects the child’s emotion (For example, when showing anger; a child may reflect that anger by aggressive behavior. The reason or causal factors for that anger may be identified by the action or manner in which they use an object (i.e. using a roaring dinosaur doll to destroy other obejects. The dinosaur looks like what the child feels). A child centered play therapy approach, developed by Dr. Gary Landreth at UNT, emphasizes the therapist not imposing any guidance or probing techniques to gain information from the child, rather a child centered play therapist allows the child the explore and interact with the objects in a free to explore, unstructured ways. This allows an opportunity for the presence of whatever immediate strong emotion a child feels to unfold. Rather than a therapist guessing how a child feels, he or she gets to observe it first hand in the play room.
