		<description><![CDATA[An important theme recently among my clients has been the vacillation between hypervigilance and collapse. How do these two states live in your body? Hypervigilance is often a state of anxiety, of production, of doing &#8211; being early or on time, accomplishing tasks for a deadline, making lists in your head of all the tasks [...]]]></description>

Journaling is a great tool in conjunction with psychotherapy. Why? Because there are a lot of thoughts floating around in your head.

		<description><![CDATA[I often get the question from potential clients, "What is holistic psychotherapy, anyway?"

My New York aunt insists that in New York, the word 'holistic' would not get me very far - there's this perception that the translation of 'holistic' equals California crunchy-oat-bread-with-sprouts-and-avocado-eating, Birkenstocks-wearing, lefty-communist protesters... Or some such comparison. Maybe they think we're all driving around in '68 VW Bugs hugging trees and singing Kumbaya.]]></description>
