Ways to connect in Isolation
Now that many of us are home a lot, it pays to find nourishing activities to stay connected and build vitality. Studies have shown that the immune system is weakened by screen time of the more passive sort - scrolling through feeds or watching tv - but strengthened by the more active sort - calling friends or writing something of substance. (one report has screen time doubled in the US)

Involve grandparents
If you have elders in your family/friends circle, set up a time every day when they can tell or read a story to the children. Put the phone on speaker, or better yet connect it to the stereo for better sound. Traditional fairy tales or quality literature are most nourishing, or something that has meaning to your family.

Create Rhythms
If there are no grandparents available, or perhaps no children, set a time every day to read aloud something of substance as a household. You could even light a candle. A good novel works, or something of a spiritual or religious nature.

Be well !

Treating Insomnia There are few things more frustrating, or debilitating, than functioning on not enough sleep. You're not just tired, but out of sorts, irritable, low energy, less competent at your job and even judgement becomes poor or unreliable. You drag yourself around. There are a few causes for sleep disorders, but chief among them is central nervous system high tone. In other words, the body is suffering from some form of anxiety, nervousness or overload. You may not even feel particularly afraid, but the physiological process of being overwhelmed or overcharged is identical to the fight or flight response. The nervous system does not differentiate stress and worry from life or death survival - one is merely more intense than the other. Key to turning this picture around is reducing tone in the nervous system, and we do this by separating the things which stress you from those which are physically dangerous. You need your fight or flight response for traffic incidents or wild animals, if you live near any. In our work, you take on responsibility for non-life-threatening problems consciously, and relieve the body of trying to deal with them unconsciously. Most likely, that is what's keeping you up. I would love to hear a story about a time when you felt great even though you were in a potentially stressful situation.

Health Insurance: We will now be accepting most health insurance, pending pre-approval, in addition to all automobile insurance following MVA's. Arriving at this decision was a long and difficult process, as the paperwork and responsibility to the carriers will be significant, not to mention the arduous work of credentialing for insurance panels. We feel, though, that it will ultimately benefit our patients who will be able to follow a treatment plan with less focus on finances and more attention given to their real healthcare needs.
