Extending the benefits of addiction treatment: An interview with James R. McKay, PHD
Counselor Magazine
One of the major milestones in the modern evolution of addiction treatment has been the reconceptualization of addiction as a chronic disorder and attending calls to move beyond acute care models of intervention to models of sustained recovery management. This trend has been propelled in part by a growing body of post treatment outcome studies and the evaluation of continuing care strategies that could potentially elevate long-term recovery outcomes.

Counselor gives hands-on exercises to build kids' emotional health
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Perhaps one of most difficult things to gauge with students is their mental well-being. Even without a worldwide medical crisis requiring schools to shut down suddenly, many factors can cause stress and anxiety in children. And having to look for those signs through a computer screen can make the challenge that much more difficult for school professionals.

For veterans with PTSD, virtual treatment takes the place of in-person therapy
Colorado Public Radio
Since the coronavirus put a halt on in-person gatherings, yoga instructor Forest Spall has been leading weekly meditation sessions on the video chat service Zoom.
"Inhale, straighten and exhale, bend," he instructed participants during a recent session. Small windows at the top of the screen showed veterans in their living rooms following along.

This is how music helps us get through difficult times
World Economic Forum
Has the music we listen to, and why we listen, changed during the coronavirus pandemic?
Beyond the well-documented evidence of pandemic music-making at a distance and over social media, music critics have suggested there is an increased preference for music that is comforting, familiar and nostalgic.
Data from major streaming services and companies that analyze them may support this view.

Veterans groups, govt brace for surge in mental health needs
KSAT-TV
When Kristofer Goldsmith was discharged from the Army in 2007 he was in crisis.
He had been trained as a forward observer — the person who spots a target and gives coordinates to artillery — but when he got to Iraq, the then 19-year-old instead found himself photographing dead bodies for intelligence gathering.

Your climate anxiety is another person's existential crisis
The New Republic
Abigail Higgins writes: "I don't experience climate grief — and I've always worried that means there's something wrong with me.
Studies show that I'm in the minority: More than two-thirds of American adults say they experience "eco-anxiety." Just last month, a poll showed that climate change has negatively affected the mental health of 71% of American millennials and that a staggering 78% of Gen Zers say that climate change means they aren't planning or don't want to have children.

Why you can't think your way out of trauma
Psychology Today
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has been a de facto standard of care within psychotherapy for the last 30 years. Certainly, CBT has shifted and changed over the years — particularly with the mindfulness revolution of the past decade — but the underlying ethos of CBT which places cognition and behavior in positions of elevated primacy in the psychotherapeutic healing process has remained relatively intact — at least within the halls of academe.

I chose Alcohol and Drug counseling because I thought it would help me get my foot in the door for an opportunity in psychology. I am really interested in the psychological aspect of this field. Last year during my senior year of high school I took a psychology class and really liked it.

Carrie Fisher: More than a general or a princess
The Daily Clog
Perhaps one of the most famous actresses to come out of the "Star Wars" franchise is Carrie Fisher. Known for her iconic role as Princess Leia Organa in the original "Star Wars" trilogy, and then later given a more progressive title as General Leia Organa in the sequel trilogy, Fisher is well known for her role in "Star Wars," one that she once described as following her around "like a vague smell."

Physical exercise: Lowering mortality among patients with depression
Psychiatric Times
"People suffering from depression die, on average, 10 years earlier than non-depressed individuals." You must have heard this while attending a conference, reading a journal, or simply in a discussion with a colleague. It has little to do with the risk of suicide: we are mainly talking about death due to physical causes, and in particular cardiovascular causes.

Local doctors see increase in students struggling with anxiety
KIII-TV
With the pandemic forcing students to learn from home, area doctors have seen an increase in kids seeking treatment for anxiety.
"Anxiety from being out of routine, not being able to go back to school, they probably see their parents being anxious and that probably projects it," Doctor William Fader said.
