The article, “Surprising Side Effects Stress Has On Your Waistline, Say Experts” by Perri Blumberg looks closer at how stress can affect weight gain.   She states,

“As Ivanir further elaborates, stress can lead to weight gain via a hormone called cortisol. “When under stress, the adrenal glands produce cortisol, which leads to a surge of energy by stimulating fat, carbohydrate, and protein metabolism,” she explains. “However, cortisol also increases appetite and cravings for sweet, fatty, and salty foods. With chronic stress, this overexposure to cortisol can lead to weight gain,” she adds, further noting that cortisol secretion also promotes abdominal fat accumulation.”

Clinical Hypnotherapy Certification Article on Hypnosis

Posted on by Dominick Flarey

Hypnosis is beyond a Las Vegas stage show but in reality is a science based on how the mind and subconscious works.  Hypnosis when properly employed does not put some under a mind spell but helps individuals face issues at the subconscious level.  Whether dealing with past trauma or facing an addiction or fear, hypnotherapy under a trained and qualified professional can be an alternative therapy that can help many people.

There is a science that supports the use of clinical hypnotherapy. Please also review AIHCP’s Clinical Hypnotherapy Certification

 

The article, “Is Hypnosis Real?” by Markham Reid reviews the science behind hypnosis.  He states,

“Once you’ve entered this hypnotized state — during which you’re still conscious, by the way — the person administering your hypnotherapy will suggest new ways of thinking about or engaging with the situation that’s giving you trouble. “The suggestions are different every time because people have different reasons or triggers for what they experience,” Kittle told me. For example, someone trying to overcome a phobia will require different suggestions than someone trying to quit smoking”

Grief Counseling Certification Article on Grief Therapies

Posted on by Dominick Flarey

Basic loss can be dealt with through coping and proceeding through the grieving process.  However, sometimes, grief can become complicated or more intense and require deeper aid and assistance.  Grief therapies can help an individual through loss and depression.  Grief therapies however are conducted under professional licensed counselors or psychologists.  If one is only a certified grief counselor, then they cannot delve into deeper grief pathologies, however, many licensed counselors and psychologists are also certified in grief counseling and may proceed with deeper treatments for deeper pathologies.

Some losses are so intense that the mind and heart do not heal and require deeper grief therapies. Please also review AIHCP’s Grief Counseling Certification

 

Grief however in itself is not a pathology and these other treatments can help those dealing with basic loss if necessary.  Some treatments in themselves involve cognitive responses to grief with reframing the loss or reinterpreting and others deal with deeper treatments in reviewing the loss and emotion.  Therapists are able to guide someone through trauma or greater loss.  Other therapies also include play therapy and art therapy for children.

The article, “Understanding Therapy for Grief and How It Can Help” from Healthline looks deeper at different grief therapies.

“It can be difficult to quantify or predict the outlook for people dealing with grief, especially since each person manages it in their own way. It’s also challenging to predict if any one treatment may work the best. Grief does not follow one particular path. Healing is unique to each individual, and the outlook for people dealing with grief looks different for each person. A therapist can play a key role in supporting the healing process by facilitating counseling sessions based on your situation.”

Again, certain therapies can only be conducted by different levels of training.  Grief Counselors can usually deal with basic grief, but as grief becomes pathological or more deep therapy is needed, then higher trained professional are needed to help one through the loss.  Identifying complicated grief is key.

ADHD Consulting Program Article on Identifying Adult ADHD

Posted on by Dominick Flarey

ADHD is usually seen more as a child mental problem but it is also very much an adult issue. If untreated, adult ADHD can cause a myriad of issues ranging from job stability to relationship problems.  When diagnosed, it can explain many of one’s personality traits and give some understanding why one behaves a certain way.  Treatment can help alleviate the symptoms as well and this is why it is important for it to be treated.

Identifying Adult ADHD is important and can help someone’s relationships and careers. Please also review AIHCP’s ADHD Consulting Program

Anger Management Consulting Program Article on Tips to Manage Anger

Posted on by Dominick Flarey

Things that make someone angry may be trivial or monumental but they cannot be ignored and allowed to fester within.  If they are, then an individual will slowly begin to build up tension which is not healthy mentally or physically.  It is important to acknowledge anger but find a healthy way to express it

Controlling anger and knowing how to release is key to any relationship. Please also review AIHCP’s Anger Management Consulting Program

 

The article, “10 Ways to Let Go of Anger (Without Ignoring It)” by Patia Braithwaite looks at some ways one can let go of anger in a more healthy fashion.  She states,

“Anger is a reaction to a perceived threat, which means it can trigger our fight-or-flight response. When you’re angry, your body releases cortisol, adrenaline, and other hormones that can impact things like perspiration, heart rate, and blood flow, the American Psychological Association (APA) explains. Much like chronic stress, persistent anger can eventually lead to increased risks of hypertension, heart disease, ulcers, and bowel diseases. So while harnessed anger can be a powerful catalyst for action (think: activism), when anger controls you, it can harm your health”

With so many negative effects on healthy and social interactions due to anger, it is important to know how to release it but in a positive and healthy way.  Learning to manage anger is a life skill that can improve one’s life and possibly prevent great harm to one’s future.

Grief Counseling Training Program Article on Depression and Bi Polar Mood Disorders

Posted on by Dominick Flarey

In diagnosis, psychologists are aware of the differences between Bi Polar and Depression.  Both are mood disorders but Bi Polar Disorder has manic highs and lows, while depression is a permanent low.  However, a manic low can last so long as to disguise itself as depression.  It is important for licensed professional counselors to identify these differences.

Bi Polar or Depression? Please also review AIHCP’s Grief Counseling Training Program and see if it matches your academic goals

 

The article, “Bipolar Disorder and Depression” from Healthline looks at these differences.  The article states,

“A healthcare professional will examine you and ask about your mood and medical history. They may also request blood tests to rule out a thyroid condition or other medical condition that may cause symptoms similar to depression. A psychiatrist or other mental health professional can confirm the diagnosis.”

It is important for non licensed professionals who do grief counseling not to attempt to treat depression or bi polar but to refer them to licensed professional care.  Some grief counselors who are already licensed care givers, can treat a patient but those who are not, must not attempt to counsel beyond basic loss and grief.   Depression and Bi Polar require a higher training and licensed position.
