DON’T JUST DO SOMETHING: SIT THERE!
By David Delaney

Bob (I have changed his name) finds that he cannot stop himself from being on the go all day long. And then he has problems getting to bed and staying asleep. Sometimes in the middle of the night, when he cannot sleep, he will get up and read or get on the Internet, which further adds to the problem. He is overloaded and this overload is affecting his health and well-being. He came to me based on a recommendation by a client who thought that I could help him.

CAN YOU RE-TRAIN THE NEGATIVE BRAIN?
Scientists say that our brains are hard wired for negativity…
Shawn (not his real name), a newer client of mine, comes to me and no matter what we discuss, he is oriented toward a negative, unsuccessful point of view. It seems that he was raised this way with the idea that life would always be problematic and you could not change that fact. He even has tremendous resistance to recalling successful or positive times in his life without finding the negative side of the situation. He is depressed and anxious, and his whole orientation is toward life never changing no matter what he does. He is hard wired for negativity.

George (not his real name) is a seasoned singer/performer with many years of experience performing for audiences. However, he has always had to deal with a low self-esteem issue that, even though he is loved by the audiences her performs for, he questions his skill and this affects his performance of course. He was referred to me by a voice therapist who knew about my background in the performing arts and suspected that I might be able to help him.
