The article, “How To Break Bad Habits Brought On By Stress”, by Amanda L. Chan

“Picking at your nails. Chewing your hair. Cracking your knuckles. Are you guilty of any of these?.”

American Institute Health Care Professionals’ insight:
Do you have any “go to” bad stress habits you like to use to get you through the day?   These bad habits can be harmful to us in the long run.   They are also not a good way to deal with stress.   It is important to learn how to identify them and find healthier ways of stress management.   Some even use smoking and alcohol as means to combat their stress.   This has a severe negative affect on our bodies.   Never use narcotics and alcohol as a way to deal with negative aspects of your life.    They can lead to addiction and learned behaviors for dealing with stress.   Try to keep the two separate.

Childhood ADHD Applied too Liberally?

The article, “ADHD Diagnoses in Children Increase, Worrying Some Doctors”, by Jeannette Y. Wick states

“Diagnoses of ADHD have risen dramatically in recent years, leading some health care professionals to worry that the diagnosis is being applied too liberally.”

American Institute Health Care Professionals’ insight:
Why are doctors treating ADHD as a default diagnosis for childhood problems?   Childhood ADHD needs to quit being labeled on children so liberally by our medical field.    This mislabeling leads to medications that our children do not need to be put on.   There are plenty of good natural ADHD treatments out there that can stop our children being put on prescription drugs!    For more on natural ADHD counseling techniques please check out our webpage.

Pet Grief Counselor: Seeing That Grief Is Not Uniquely Human

When animals die, their close relatives and friends may be plunged into mourning. Commentator Barbara J. King writes about animal grief in her new book, citing examples seen in animals large and small.

An interesting insight into the world of animals and how they grieve.  It is foolish to believe only humans grieve.  Pet grief counseling not only helps the person understand the loss of a pet but also to help understand the nature of the pet and its own grief.  If you are interested in the Pet Grief Counselor program, please click here
