Ditching the Mental Traps That Are Making You Miserable

with Dr. Andrea Bonior 

 

Welcome to Detox Your Thoughts! I'm so glad you're here. Over the next month, we're going to learn to identify some common thought patterns that can make us feel, anxious, insecure, and generally just...bad. Every other day, you'll receive a newsletter outlining a common mental trap that will likely feel familiar — from all-or-nothing thinking to the dysfunctional ways we seek validation. And then, I'll teach you specific and actionable ways to overcome them to start living a happier and healthier life.

Who's running this thing, you ask? I'm Dr. Andrea Bonior, a licensed clinical psychologist and speaker on the faculty of Georgetown University. I've also written The Washington Post's "Baggage Check" mental health advice column for 13 years and am the author of The Friendship Fix and the Publisher's Weekly bestseller Psychology: Essential Thinkers, Classic Theories, and How They Inform Your World. The techniques we'll go over in this course come from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (a newish offshoot of CBT).

 

Of course, this course is for informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for one-on-one psychological care (the lawyers made me say that).

 

See you tomorrow!

This Is What Fish Oil Supplements Actually Do

For centuries , humans have used fish oils, orally or topically, to treat a wide array of ailments, from aches and pains to rickets and gout. The popularity of this supplement has shifted over the years, as have its primary uses. But over the past couple of decades, the hype around fish oil has arguably reached an all-time high. According to National Institutes of Health statistics , in 2012, at least 18.8 million Americans used about $1.3 billion dollars worth of fish oil, making it the third most widely used supplement in the nation. (Sales reportedly flattened out at about that level around 2013.) Today, many use it because they believe it will broadly help their heart health , but others hold that fish oil can help with renal health, bone, and joint conditions, cognitive functions and mental wellness, and any number of other conditions. But is fish oil really as good for you as millions of Americans believe it is? Who should be taking it and when? We dove into the research and

Australian woman Penny Rohleder shared a photo of her son's drawing on the Facebook page of blogger Constance Hall on Jul. 25, which well, says it all. SEE ALSO: James Corden tests out gymnastics class for his son and is instantly showed up by children "I don't know whether to be proud or embarrassed that my 5 year old son knows this," Rohleder wrote.  "Julian drew a family portrait. I said 'What's that red bit on me?' And he replied, real casual, 'That's your period.'"  Well, at least he knows. To give further context, Rohleder revealed she had pulmonary embolism in October 2016, and was put on blood thinning treatment which makes her periods "very, very bad," she explained to the Daily Mail .
