Does your brain keep you up at night? New research shows that in as little as one counseling session, we can help people be free of acute insomnia. In my practice I've seen how well this works and it's great to get people back to a good night's sleep!

Skipping meals (or saving calories for eating later) actually makes you gain weight. There are healthy alternatives to have a normal relationship with food and still have a healthy body weight. New research shows - "you definitely don't want to skip meals to save calories because it sets your body up for larger fluctuations in insulin and glucose and could be setting you up for more fat gain instead of fat loss." http://www.ctvnews.ca//skipping-meals-could-lead-to-fat-ga

The stigma of mental health can prevent people on social media from looking like they need help. Things can seem perfect on Facebook or Twitter - but life-and-death problems can be just below this surface. Depression, Anxiety and suicidal thinking are issues that can be successfully treated - but only if we can reach out. http://www.cbc.ca//her-facebook-life-looked-perfect-madiso

Studies indicate that Binge Eating Disorder can be effectively treated with counselling. http://europepmc.org/abstract/med/11466589

Well, I guess I have to put my iPhone away before I go to bed. It's off to the book store for me! New research from Harvard shows that reading on an iPad makes you take longer to fall asleep, feel less sleepy in the evening, get less quality (REM) sleep and were less alert in the mornings (even with the same number of hours of sleep for those who ready books). https://hms.harvard.edu/ne/e-readers-foil-good-nights-sleep
