Health is a holistic state of physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and social well-being that happens when we function optimally and sustainably. Health markers include the ability to respond, at a molecular level and also with other humans. This presents itself differently in each person, but there is a quality of full expression that exudes presence and charisma and health. Music not only facilitates a personal response but also amplifies it in multiple modes of thought, emotion, and sensation. In a culture obsessed with measurable outcomes, it’s easy to overlook that growth and impact may not show up in the result…

To combat recent body image struggles, Nancy plans to head to the gym on her way home from work. It was a stressful day and even though she has her gym clothes in the car, at the last minute Nancy decides she just isn’t feeling it. She heads home and relaxes on the couch. As she slows down, her inner critic speeds up with messages like: “You’re just being lazy,” and “You never follow through with your plans,” and “You always start things but just can’t seem to stick with them.” Does Nancy’s narrative sound familiar? Do experiences of guilt…

I was ready for my 6,720 hours of pregnancy. I had been taught how to exercise for my aching back, sleep in a semi-comfortable position, and pant during labor. I was also prepared for the birth—the crowning, the first skin-to-skin touch, and the bonding during breastfeeding. But no one told me what to do or expect after I gave birth. And from what my patients who are first-time mothers report, not much has changed. Most of my patients tell me they are exhausted after giving birth, for much longer than they expected—weeks to months. Fluctuating hormones create some moodiness for…

On the 7th of May, my mentor, the academic titan in well-being and mattering, Dr. Isaac Prilleltensky, passed away. Four days later, on the 11th of May, I walked across the stage to graduate with my doctorate. It was also the day that Isaac’s beloved wife, Dr. Ora Prilleltensky, died. After graduation, I went directly to Isaac’s Shiva ceremony, a Jewish mourning gathering centered on remembrance, community, and supporting the grieving family. The timing of it was a lot to process: celebration, grief, gratitude, and loss, all existing together in the same week. But what I remember most from that…

Buffet Infinity is a wildly inventive horror comedy that defies classification AND description.Buffet Infinity is an inventive multimedia mash-upBuffet Infinity is the kind of movie that restores your faith in truly independent filmmaking. With so much derivative chaff bombarding us at cineplexes and on streaming services, seeing something THIS unique, fresh and experimental is an absolute delight. It’s weird, it’s funny and yes, it’s even legitimately creepy at times. I can’t help but feel like we’ll be looking back on this one as a decade-defining genre movie — even if it might take a good 20 or 30 years before…

A patient sits silent for 30 seconds, and then for a minute, and the silence could be any number of things—shame, trust, dissociation, fatigue, anger, or something just beginning to surface, or simply that nothing has arrived yet and won’t for a while—and reaching too quickly for one reading closes the others, while reaching too slowly lets something pass that may not come back. This is the situation negative capability was named for, experiences of deep uncertainty, where trying to solve problems quickly is a failure mode. Keats’s Shakespeare’s-genius-inspired phrase—the capacity to remain in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without irritable reaching…
