Introducing my dear friend Aurélie Meneau a former scientist with a PhD in physics from the University of Cambridge, who is now a certified energy medicine practitioner. Aurélie uses two powerful modalities to bridge frontier science and energy healing, and I couldn’t be more inspired by who she is and what she does. I’ve referred several of my clients to Aurelie, and the results have been absolutely incredible. https://www.roseenergyquantumhealing.com

As a therapist, I often see my clients trying to cope with the effects of stress through the use alcohol or drugs. COVID-19 and working from home help to create the perfect storm. According to research firm Nielsen, sales of alcohol are up 55%. Because my areas of practice do not include addiction, I have posted links on my website (betterselftherapy.com) to several online programs that may serve as early interventions: DO I HAVE A PROBLEM? free course designed for tho...se who are worried that things are getting out of hand SUBSTANCE ABUSE for those who have already decided they need help RELAPSE PREVENTION for those who are struggling with sobriety FAMILY AND FRIENDS for those whose mental health is affected because of an alcoholic or addict in their life CODEPENDENCY for those who wonder what is missing in their life SEXUAL COMPULSIVITY for those whose sex or porn addiction is impacting their life These online programs are not substitutes for treatment or therapy. But if you are searching for answers on the Internet, you may want to try something on your own before taking the next step.

While self-isolating, I’ve decided to redesign my website. I hope you find this new version more appealing than the two previous ones (I am learning!). I’ve opened a number of tickets with Wix (You can take the girl out of QA, but you can’t take QA out of the girl ). If they get fixed, I’ll be able to make my blog pages look more consistent with the rest of the site. If you notice any other issues, please let me know. Thank you!

Translation from Russian: Hey colleagues, as well as those of you who have nothing to do with medicine! Some of you may find my message to be anti-science nonsense. Nonetheless, I would like to remind you that back in the 30s, German doctors and biologists were able to prove the existence of a direct link between our psychological and emotional functioning, and the strength of our immune systems. Someone who lives in a state of anger, agitation, or stress is incapable of... resisting any kind of illness. Here is an example. Mother Theresa, when she was working at some clinic in Mumbai, she often visited critically ill patients. Despite her advanced age, she never got sick. Never-ever. At the cellular level, it looks as if we’ve consumed a dose of poison this is how our bodies react to stress, animosity, and all kinds of negativity. In other words, a cell becomes stuck, and its normal functioning stops. Naturally, any kind of homeostasis or strong immune system becomes impossible. About a month ago, I didn’t care about the existence of some Chinese man. Now I realize that we are all in the same boat the Russians, the Chinese, the Jews, and the Germans. And if our common boat begins to leak underneath this Chinese man, it’s a problem for all of us if we don’t help him out we’ll all drown it’s a given. Therefore, my friends, I implore you (even during quarantine, when there is no physical way to help each other) it’s enough to just have a good intention, this heart-to-heart connection, kindness, mutual protection, basic mutual respect this will assure our health at least to some degree. I wish for everyone to stay healthy and to treat each other with love.

Dear Clients, As you may already know, Ontario's Chief Medical Officer of Health has issued a directive requiring that all non-essential and elective health care services stop or be reduced to minimal levels until further notice. In line with this directive, College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario has instructed me and other therapists that in situations where we choose to continue to practice, we move to electronic practice (providing care via phone, email or v...ideoconferencing technology). Please be advised that although I am unable to see you in person, I am offering the following options for psychotherapy sessions: secure video channel Zoom (which can be accessed through any Internet browser), Skype, WhatsApp, Viber, and phone. I wish you and your loved ones all the best through this challenging time. Stay safe! Warmly, Halyna
