Creative people inspiring a generation through architecture's influence on education! "When you put children into a quiet box, some of them get really nervous." These children run an average 2.5 miles a day on a roof at kindergarten compared to American children who get 4 to 7 minutes of outside unstructured play.

People labeling themselves or others as "too emotional" or "not emotional" is not only unscientific, it conveys judgmental messages about how emotions should or should not be expressed. Here is some accurate and helpful #mentalhealtheducation about human emotions from mental health consultant for #MadMen, Hilary Jacobs Hendel. All humans have 7 Core Emotions that prime us for action. "Core emotions are brilliant: if we get out of their way, their innate programming tells us ...what to do to live life adaptively. The core emotions are: sadness, fear, anger, joy, excitement, sexual excitement and disgust...Shame, anxiety and guilt, the inhibitory emotions, block core emotions." Listening to the information that core emotions provide can help "...carry you from a place of disconnection back to your true Self." https://www.hilaryjacobshendel.com/what-is-the-change-trian Contact me at (610) 527-4626 or [email protected]

Relevant to any type of relationship. "Be careful what you tolerate. You are teaching people how to treat you." Take care of yourselves and others! Contact: (610) 527-4626, [email protected], or www.DicesarePsychological.com

Taking PROBIOTICS (psychobiotics) for only 30 days may improve mood and immunity and REDUCE symptoms of STRESS, ANXIETY and DEPRESSION in people with and without clinical mood disorders (so basically everyone)! This makes sense being that scientists have determined we have a "SECOND BRAIN" in our gut comprised of over 100 million neurons that produces over 30 neurotransmitters (think serotonin which many antidepressants act on). Our "enteric nervous system" is constantly comm...unicating with our actual brain, affecting our mood and behavior. This is why many people with anxiety suffer from "stomach problems" like irritable bowel syndrome. Look into working on your stomach/gut health to increase your mood and quality of life! #psycholgy #probiotics #scienceiscool Contact: (610) 527-4626, [email protected], or www.DicesarePsychological.com https://universityhealthnews.com//best-probiotics-for-moo/ https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/gut-second-brain/

Boundary setting is an often mentioned concept, but do we actually know what healthy boundaries really are? Boundaries are..."Your ability to understand, communicate and make a stand for how you want to be treated in your relationships." Helping people to identify their needs and empowering them to honor them in a genuine way is the first step to creating more healthy relationships (both with yourself and others)!
