Thought of the Week - If you don’t know where you are going...

I text my friend Nada today whom many of you know as the owner of The Flying Carp in NJ and asked her how she was doing as I knew it was her last season before closing her store after many years in business. She answered back: "Doing well except for last night when panic decided to attack while I was cleaning up the store. I didn’t know what to do. Call a friend? dial 911? I ate an apple, drank water, and breathed. I called my husband to say I was coming home and my therapist friend. The minute I got her on the phone, I knew what was happening and started to feel better. This is the last...

Thought of the Week - Self Reflection

I participated in a conference of psychologists this past weekend. The subject was psychology during COVID. How interesting it was to listen to a different professional speak about this collective trauma from their point of view and to see the need for community. One speaker that struck me the most was a black psychologist from NYC that spoke about treating black patients during this time. She raised the issue of race, inequality, and how being black with COVID raises so many fears and deep trauma. Stories of black upper-class patients in NYC that were sent back home without treatment while white patients were attended to in the same ER. She discussed what it means to be a black woman sitting...
